Since the lease is a sale type of lease,it means that as soon as the machinery is delivered to the lessee,profit should be recognized on the lease transaction,which is computed below:
Profit on lease=present value of lease payments-costs
=$274149-$156000
=$118149

Interest=($274149-$44617)*8%

Conclusively, the increase in earnings is $118149+$18362.56
That is $136511.56
