Calculation of annual lease payments; BPO
For each of the three independent situations below determine the amount of the annual lease payments. Each describes a capital lease in which annual lease payments are payable at the beginning of each year. Each lease agreement contains an option that permits the lessee to acquire the leased asset at an option price that is sufficiently lower than the expected fair value that the exercise of the option appears reasonably certain.
