Solution

The lease expense for the current calendar year can be calculated as follows:

  1. Determine the start date of the lease payments: The lease payments start on October 1 of the current year.

  2. Determine the end date of the lease payments for the current year: Since the company has a calendar year-end, the lease payments for the current year would end on December 31.

  3. Calculate the number of months of lease payments for the current year: From October 1 to December 31 is 3 months.

  4. Calculate the total lease expense for the current year: The monthly lease payment is $28,900. Multiply this by the number of months of lease payments for the current year (3 months).

So, 28,9003=28,900 * 3 = 86,700

Therefore, the company's lease expense for the current calendar year is $86,700.

You are working for an equipment leasing company, and your boss has asked you to calculate the half-yearly lease payments for new equipment for a client. The cost of the equipment is $68,000 and the lease term is 8 years. The interest rate is 11.2% p.a. compounding semi-annually. The lease requires lease payments that are the same every half-year, except for the final payment which is a residual/lump sum payment of $9,000. Assuming the lump sum payment is made in the final half-year period (16), calculate the half-yearly lease amount for the other 15 periods.
