Answer 1

Answer: $‭726,957.6‬0

Step-by-step explanation:

The debit to Lease Receivable is the present value of the payments to be made by B Corp. for the 8 years.

Payments are made twice a year so period is 16 periods.

Rate = 8% /2

= 4%

Present value = Payments * Present value of an annuity due factor, 16 periods, 4%

= 59,980 * 12.12

= $‭726,957.6‬0
