Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine What is the amount of the aftertax lease payment

Using this formula

Aftertax lease payment=Leased equipment(1-Tax rate)

Let plug in the formula

Aftertax lease payment = $23,800 (1 - 0.34)

Aftertax lease payment=$23,800(.66)

Aftertax lease payment = $15,708

Therefore the amount of the aftertax lease payment is $15,708
