Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Annual lease payments = $210,000

Present value of the lease payments = $1,022,400

Interest rate = 10%

Lease period = 7 years

December 31, 2019:

Interest on lease = $102,240 ($1,022,400 * 10%)

Lease liability = $914,640 ($1,022,400 + $102,240 - $210,000)

December 31, 2020:

Interest on lease = $91,464 ($914,640 * 10%)

Lease liability = $796,104 ($914,640 + $91,464 - $210,000)
