Finance
You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $4.3 million and would be depreciated straight-line to zero over four years. Because of radiation contamination, it will actually be completely valueless in four years. You can lease it for $1.275 million per year for four years. Assume the tax rate is 21 percent. The borrowing rate is 8 percent before taxes. Your company does not expect to pay taxes for the next several years, but the leasing company will pay taxes. Over what range of lease payments will the lease be profitable for both parties? (Enter your answers from lowest to highest. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.)
