Question

Perry Freight Co. leased a trailer to Harper Inc. for use in delivering inventory. The finance lease has a 3-year term, 5% implicit rate, and begins on January 1, 2018. The lease requires a down payment of $10,000 and two equal annual lease payments on December 31 of 2018 and 2019. The list price of the trailer on the inception date is $50,000. What is the dollar amount of each annual payment that Perry Freight Co. will receive

Answer 1

Answer: $21512

Explanation:

The dollar amount of each annual payment that Perry Freight Co. will receive will be calculated thus:

Lease Price of trailer = $50,000

Less: Down payment = $10,000

PV = $50,000 - $10,000 = $40,000

The present value will be the value of the annual installments multiplied by the annuity factor. Therefore,

$40,000 = Annual installment × 1.8594

Annual installment = $40,000 / 1.8594

Annual installment = $21512

The dollar amount of each annual payment that Perry Freight Co. will receive is $21512.
