Irregular Example - EXAMPLE 2 (Lease) |
Mr. Larson, has decided to lease his next car and take advantage of the tax advantages that leases offer. He has seen an automobile that costs $36,000 and after showing the dealer an interest in leasing it, he was given the following lease contract. He can lease the $36,000 automobile for $850.00 per month. He has to make an initial down payment of $2,500 and has to pay some processing charges and Pre-delivery costs that add up to $235.00. The contract will be in effect for 48 months. At the end of this term, Mr. Larson can return the automobile or he can purchase it for $6,000. The terms and conditions all make sense, but what Mr. Larson needs to know is what is the interest rate the leasing company is charging him by leasing the car. In other words what is the Implicit interest rate in the lease contract? |

If you are continuing with this example after the last one, you will want to clear
all of the entries made last time. To clear all the transactions, right click on any
transaction entry and a menu will pop up, select the "DELETE ALL TRANSACTIONS" Item.
Once you clear all the transaction, you can enter in all the known data.
