Lease/Buy Analysis


 

This is a simple Lease vs. Buy case. For this analysis to work the one client is deciding to lease or buy one property only. If there are more choices, or the possibility of more choices, use the cost comparison process. In this case the client is going to use this property for business. The choice is whether to lease or buy the space. Buying the property requires a down payment and loan payments. Leasing does not require a down payment, but the amount of the lease payments are greater than the loan service costs. Should the client use the down payment to buy the property or should the client use that down payment amount in some other

investment? It is a better decision to lease and invest the down payment in another investment when the other investment returns more money than would be saved by buying the property. If the other investment does not return more money than would be saved, then it is better to buy the property. Sounds simple! Remember that the assumptions that lead to any conclusion can change. The advantage that planEASe delivers is not only ease of use, but the ability to vary the assumptions to make the most informed decision possible. In this particular sample, the lease calls for all expenses to be paid for by the tenant. This means the expenses are the same in either case. This means they are a wash, and need not be included in the analysis.


Analysis Assumptions Report

Lease/Buy Analysis


produces a report showing (in English) the assumptions used to generate the other reports. It was created with the idea of generating an assumptions report which can be presented to an investor or other concerned party to explain the assumptive basis of the other planEASe reports.

Sensitivity Analysis

Lease/Buy Analysis


As you perform an analysis, planEASe measures the worth of the investment in terms of rates of return and net present values. Sensitivity Analysis allows you to investigate how these measures vary with a change in one of the assumptions. Any measure may be chosen for the Sensitivity Analysis, and any assumption may be chosen as well. Sensitivity Analysis provides a one page table and graph which describes the relationship between the assumption value and the resulting measure.
