The lease payments occur at the start of each year. The start of the first year is time 0, and for four payments it is therefore time 0 to 4. The tax is payable one year in arrears and so the tax for the first year is calculated at the end of the first year (time 1) but paid one year later (i.e. time 2). $10,800 is the tax saving on the lease payments 30% x 36,000 = $10,800. This is all explained with examples in my free lectures. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FM and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well. Please watch them - you cannot expect me to type out all of my lectures here :-) :-)
