Lassie acquired an asset under a finance lease arrangement, committing to pay five fixed annual instalments of $20,000 payable in arrears. The cash value of the asset in an outright sale would have amounted to $75,000. What is the lease interest expense to be recognised by Lassie in the third year of the contract?
What is the rate of interest?
We need to know the answer to CaptMario’s question – what is the rate of interest implicit in the lease
$5146
It looks to me, just a guess, that the rate of interest is 11.196412% and, if that estimate is correct, the interest expense in the third year would be $4,973.70
But I could be wrong
