Question

I need to understand how to do this calculation and show the calculations. I am not sure if I should convert all to one currency first. Please help me understand and explain how to answer such a question as per example attached SunAir needs to purchase a new aircraft, a Boeing 737, and is in discussions with Boeing on whether to buy the aircraft outright or to enter a finance lease. The new equipment is manufactured in the USA. The investment appraisal has shown a positive net present value (NPV). The two alternative funding options are outlined below. Alternative 1 Purchase outright at a cost of US $ \$ 110 $ million, and fund with bank borrowings at the prime South African lending rate. Payment is due in full on 01 August 2025. The aircraft is expected to have a useful life of seven years and a negligible value at the end of this period. Interest payments would be made at the end of each year. Tax depreciation allowances (wear and tear) would be available to SunAir on the cost of the equipment at a rate of $ 40 \% $ in the first year, and $ 20 \% $ each year thereafter until the end of year 4. Alternative 2 Lease the equipment from Boeing on a finance lease. The lease would have a seven-year term, and ownership of the equipment would pass to SunAir at the end of the lease period without additional payment. Lease rentals would be US $ \$ 18 $ million per annum, which includes annual maintenance support, payable at the end of each year. Tax relief is available on the lease payments. Other relevant information The current US Dollar to Rand spot rate is estimated to be $ \$ 1: $ R17,50 on 1 August 2025. The annual interest rate in the USA is $ 4,5 \% $ and $ 11.00 \% $ in South Africa. Assume that the interest rate parity exists.
