    Sugar Co leased a machine from Spice Co. The terms of the lease are as follows:
    Inception of lease 1 January 20X1
    Lease term 4 years at $78,864 per annum payable in arrears
    Present value of future lease payments $250,000
    Useful life of asset 4 years

    required : calc the interest rate implicit in the lease using the table below

    the table shows the cumulative present value of $1 per annum, receivable or payable at the end of each year for n years

    years 6% 8% 10%
    1 0.943 0.926 .909
    2 1.833 1.783 1.736
    3 2.673 2.577 2.487
    4 3.465 3.312 3.170
    5 4.212 3.993 3.791

    the answer for this question goes

    PV = annuity x cumulative discount factor (CDF)

    i.e. :

    250000 = 78864 x CDF

    CDF = 250000/78864 = 3.170 so 10%

    my doubt is when using this formula doesnt it have to be like with like (one year figures)? how are we using the present value of all the lease payments (4yrs) and equating it to the payment for one single year,? i tried doing that and im not getting a value in the table

    is it because we only have the PV of payment of all 4 yrs therefore we are forced to make do with it ?
