Conclusions
The last step in the decisionmaking process combines analyses and judgment. Leasing will not always be the best alternative for acquiring the use of a capital asset. Interest rates, lease rates, and construction costs are only a few of the inputs that may affect the results of the analyses. For each facility decision, all possibilities must be identified and an economic profitability estimated, using the net present value approach. Finally, professional judgment must be applied in conjunction with economic and financial analysis to arrive at the best decision for acquiring a capital asset.
