Explanation / Answer

SOLUTION: Option(B) is correct.

The first payment will reduce the principle because interest has not started to accrue

= $135,000 - $20,000 = $115,000

Computation of interest that will be owned for 6 months:

Interest revenue for full year = $115,000*10% = $11,500

Therefore, the amount of interest revenue from the lease is = 11500*6/12 = $5,750 (from july to december)
