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 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Mathematics NQF Level 4
Example 10.7 page 210 Unit 10.4 A supermarket chain must replace two photocopiers.

The agreement includes a full maintenance plan and training for staff. Downloaded from hlayiso.com Mathematics NQF Level 4
Example 10.7 page 210 continued … 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? Downloaded from hlayiso.com 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.
