Hello sir i have the answer at the back but why the $2million deposit has not been deduct in the present value?Hi,
You are probably told that the present value is that of the future lease payments and not the total lease payments. Given this the deposit being paid is not a future lease payment as it has already been paid and so it would not be included in the present value figure.
Thanks
