Re: Calculating Lease Costs and Effective Purchase Price W/O interest
You're getting good answers, but sometimes the third of fourth approach to answering the question helps. Not to imply that the previous answers are incorrect or incomplete. 1. "Lease Rate" is a convenience, given to you so that you can multiply your selling price by a number and end up with a payment acceptable to the lessor. 2. The "Short answer" from your leasing company is "We'll do that deal for 36 months at 0.0302". 3. The "Long answer" which they will seldom give you is: - We believe...

Here is the formula: (Machine Cost + Buyout + Profit) X rate factor = total monthly payment that should be (but does not need to be) less than CURRENT monthly payment for similar equipment. Define similar equipment? That means if they have a 20ppm unit...

Re: Big Tom Out as Prez at Ricoh

Re: Ricoh CPC Methodology
We do this all the time. 3500 B/w @ .011= $38.50 and 1500 Color @ $.066=$99 w/a Total count of $137.50... By doing this you lock the customer in with you for a lease when the lease comes up for the next term the competitor has to buyout the maintenance portion as well. As you all know.... This goes on all the time.
