Renting equipment or premises
Unit 10.4
Equipment
Are items needed for a purpose, like computers, carpet cleaners or
electrical tools.
Premises
A building to use for a business or club.
”
Lease
A rental contract.
”
Leasing has several advantages:
• Fixed costs
”
• Maintenance plan
• Replacement of old equipment
• Flexible lease time periods

Unit 10.4
A supermarket chain must replace two photocopiers.
They have two options:
• Purchase the machines at a cost of R40 000 each.
• Lease the equipment on a 24-month agreement at a cost
of R825 per month per machine. The agreement includes
a full maintenance plan and training for staff.

Unit 10.4
1. Calculate the cost of the lease of two machines for 24
months.
2. Is there an advantage to the company when leasing the
machines rather than buying them? Explain.
3. Is there a disadvantage for the company?
4. What is the advantage to the company that leases the
machines?

Mathematics NQF Level 4
Example 10.7 page 210 continued …
Unit 10.4
1. 2 machines × R825 × 24 months = R39 600
2. Yes. The cost of leasing the equipment for 2 years is less
than the cost of one machine. If the equipment breaks,
the company is protected by the maintenance plan.
Technicians will fix the problem at no extra charge.
3. Yes. They will not own the equipment. It belongs to the
company leasing the equipment. At the end of 24
months, the equipment will be removed unless the
company signs a new agreement.
4. They can lease the same machine to a different company
at the end of the lease agreement. If they maintain the
equipment carefully, they can lease the equipment for
many years.
