Subtract the purchasing cost from the leasing cost. This figure is your NAL.
What is a cost benefit calculation?
The cost-benefit equation is simply the costs of the project divided into the anticipated returns. If the projected revenue is more than the projected cost, the ratio is positive. However, the formula for the cost-benefit analysis accounts for variables such as inflation and other discounting principals.
Why should a company choose leasing over buying if the NAL is positive?
If an NAL calculation represents a positive value, it is an indication that leasing is a better alternative to buying. The benefits of leasing are generally calculated by comparing the net present value of the purchase of the asset to the net present value of leasing the same asset.
