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?

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
