Question

Haystack, Inc. manufactures machinery used in the mining industry. On January 1, 2017 it leased equipment with a cost of $480,000 to Silver Point Co. The 5-year lease calls for a 10% down payment and equal annual payments at the beginning of each year. The equipment has an expected useful life of 5 years. If the selling price of the equipment is $780,000, and the rate implicit in the lease is 8%, what are the equal annual payments

Answer 1

$175,808

Step-by-step explanation:

P=R (1-(1+i)^-n)/i

Where P=780,000*90%=$702,000

R=?

i=8%

N=5 years

By putting above values in formula, we get

P=R(1-(1+.08)^-5)/.08

702,000=R*3.993

R=702,000/3.993

R=$175,808
