Present value of the cost of leasing (using the 10 percent interest rate):

$39,000(0.909) + 28,600(0.826) + 56,200(0.751) = $101,281

Since the asset is sold at the end of the third year, there are no entries for years 4 and 5 even though the expected life of the asset is five years.

The $80,000 balance of the loan must be repaid when the asset is sold.

The asset is sold for $50,000 but its book value is $60,000. The book value is the $200,000 cost minus the sum of the amount of depreciation during the first three years ($40,000 + $60,000 + $40,000). Since the asset is sold for $50,000, the firm has a $10,000 loss ($50,000 – $60,000). The $10,000 loss produces a $4,000 tax savings ($10,000 × 0.4). The net cash inflow from the sale is $50,000 + $4,000 = $54,000.

The cash outflow at the end of the third year is maintenance ($5,000) plus interest ($12,000) plus principal repayment ($120,000) minus the tax savings ($26,800) plus the after-tax proceeds from the sale ($54,000). That is $5,000 + $12,000 + $120,000 – $26,800 – $54,000 = $56,200.
