5. Suppose you are considering purchasing a machine or leasing one.  The machine has a full economic life of 15 years, and is depreciated linearly to zero.  There is no salvage value.  For the same machine, you can buy it for $200,000, or lease it for $13,942 per year.   Assume a tax rate of 27% and an after-tax cost of debt of 13%.
Show work for all parts requiring computation.
