Required:
Calculate the present value of the lease payments on January 1, 2010. Assume a 6% interest rate.
a.
Present value $500,000
b.
Present value of an ordinary annuity:
= $150,000 + C(Factor for POn,i), where n = 10, i = 12%
= $150,000 + $50,000(5.650223)
c.
Present value of an annuity due:
Table factor of n – 1 rents:

Converted table factor
4.604776
= $100,000(4.604776)
