Abstract
This study will take a look at this question from the perspective of the lessor and the lessee. In the final analysis, it will be argued that the decision to lease or purchase is largely dependent on the circumstances of the lessee. As such, there are lessons to be learned from the role of leasing in organizational finance. From the experience of firms, it can be concluded that smaller firms lease so that they can finance their growth, or simply allow them to remain solvent. For larger companies, however, leasing is generally a calculated decision used by sophisticated financial managers to minimize their after-tax cost of capital. Applied to automobile financing, some people will lease because they have no other choice; i.e., they cannot afford to purchase.

Abstract
The decision to lease equipment as opposed to buying it outright is a complex decision with benefits to both considerations. For companies that have a limited amount of capital or are constrained in their access to capital sources, leasing is the better option. For companies that have no capital issues and that are purchasing equipment that has a long life span, buying the equipment is the best option because the returns on the investment cover a longer period. This paper examines the positives and negatives of buying equipment and leasing equipment and discusses which option is best for different financial situations.
From the Paper
"Yet, there are considerations in both cases that might make the obvious choice the second option rather than the first depending on the individual conditions of each business. In very essential terms, leasing equipment and other capital investments preserves a company's capital position and allows the company to upgrade more often or to retool more rapidly and with less cost (Neely)."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the issue of buying or leasing company assets. The paper studies the company, Bonnesante Research, discussing both the option to lease and to buy certain assets for the company's use in its operations. The primary objective of this simulation is to determine which among the two options would be applicable and be effective in the given circumstances.
From the Paper
"In the simulation scenario, the initial requirement being considered by Bonnesante is the acquisition of a mainframe computer. This computer equipment would be useful for the company's objective to heighten its research for the first six months of its trial operations and support the requirement of the Food and Drug Administration. To acquire the equipment, Bonnesante must determine whether to purchase the computer mainframe outright or use the mainframe under an operating lease agreement. Based on the decisions made in the simulation, the company opted to lease the mainframe for 18 months. The decision to lease was employed in consideration of the rapid obsolesce of computer equipments and comparatively to advance high-end computer workstations which is functioning at par with mainframes. Purchasing it was not advisable. Since Bonnesante is still not a profitable company, the depreciation of such equipments shall affect the present cash flow situation due to the un-applicability of taxes if the mainframe is to be purchased. Operating lease is a good option for equipments with high rates of obsolesces."

Abstract
This paper discusses the various options and alternatives that Bonnesante, a medical production company, faces in deciding whether to lease or purchase capital equipment and facilities. Among some of the considerations it must account for are its cash flows and cash reserves as well as tax liability issues. For equipment that faces rapid obsolescence a lease finance package is likely best, while equipment with a long life-span it is better to purchase from the beginning. But in any event, these decisions are always subject to the individual circumstances of the company in question.
From the Paper
"The decision to lease equipment as opposed to buying it outright is a complex decision with benefits to both considerations. For the leasing option, companies that have a limited amount of capital or are constrained in their access to capital sources, leasing is the better option. For companies that have no capital issues and that are purchasing equipment that has a long life span, buying the equipment is the best option because the returns on the investment cover a longer period.

Determining Factors
The Role of Accounting and the Problem of Quantification
From the Paper
"One important decision that any business person must make is whether to buy or lease an asset that is needed to operate the business. Such assets can include almost every piece of property or equipment relevant the business, from real estate, to automobiles, to copiers. Business managers must make decisions about how to acquire these assets, and the two most common ways of doing so include: buying an asset outright (often with financed capital), or entering a termed lease. Because of the tax implications and concerns with the cost of ownership, it is important to quantify the advantages and disadvantages of each type of acquisition."

Abstract
This paper takes a close historical look at the event surrounding WWII and how in turn, it caused the U.S. to sign the Lend-Lease Act of 1941 with Britain, thereby triggering America's involvement in the war and bringing America out of its "isolated" state.
From the Paper
"After World War I and up until 1941, the prevailing foreign policy in America was isolation. This meant that the U.S. generally avoided political intrigue and conflict from European alliances. For the most part, the U.S. stayed out of the balance of power politics that European countries engaged in. This did not mean, however, that the U.S. avoided political, trade, and cultural activities with Europe. America did indeed have bi-lateral agreements with some European countries. In examining America's entrance in 1941 into a Lend- Lease agreement with Britain, and later with Russia, one can see that these particular bi-lateral agreements led to America's complete involvement in WWII, as well as to the future internationalist foreign policy that would go on to dominate the twentieth century. To understand how America came to the Lend-Lease agreements and why, it is important to understand the world's state of affairs prior to that point."
