What is the amount that will be credited to the lease libility account on January 1,2018

Explanation / Answer

Monthly Lease payment at the beginning of each month = $1,650

Total no. of months in lease period = 5 years*12 months in a year = 60 months

Required rate of return per month = 0.5827%

Lease liabilty on January 1, 2018 will be equal to sum of present value of monthly lease payments and present value of residual value at the end of lease period.

Present Value of Monthly lease payments = First lease payment+[Monthly Lease Payments*PVAF(0.5827%, 59)]

= $1,650+($1,650*49.80547) = $1,650+$82,179 = $83,829

Present Value of residual Value = Residual Value*PVF(0.5827%, 60)

= $30,000*0.70567 = $21,170

Lease Liability = PV of Lease payments+PV of Residual Value

= $83,829+$21,170 = $104,999

After first lease payment, the lease liability on January 1, 2018 = $104,999 - $1,650 = $103,349
