Lease NPV

YYolanda10y ago
I have tried to work back from the NPV in this question but I cannot make it to give me the correct anwer. The question is: A lease agreement has a net present value of 32,000 at a discount rate of 10%. The lease involves 5 equal payments, payable a the start of each year. What is the amount of the annual payment? I know the answer is 7,674 but I cannot get my workings to get this answer. I would appreciate your help. Thanks

As we are paying in start of the each year so 1st year lease will be paid in year 0. So 4 year's annuity factor is 3.170. 4 year annuity factor plus 1 equal to 4.170 then divide NPV by annuity factor 4.170. Then you'll find your answer.
