Answer:
a. 6.36%
b. $378.02
Explanation:
a. The computation of Annual percentage rate is shown below:-
Annual percentage rate = Lease factor × 2,400
= 0.00265 × 2,400
= 6.36%
b. For computation of monthly lease payment first we need to find out the depreciation charge, finance charge and tax which is shown below:-
Depreciation charge = (Base cost + Other cost - Down payment - Residual value) ÷ Number of lease payment
= ($27,600 + $1,050 - $3,000 - $17,000) ÷ 36
= $8,650 ÷ 36
= $240.27
Finance charge = (Base cost + Other cost - Down payment - Residual value) × Lease factor
= ($27,600 + $1,050 - $3,000 - $17,000) × 0.00265
= $42,650 × 0.00265
= $113.0225
now,
Tax = (Depreciation charge + Finance charge) × Tax rate
= ($240.27 + $113.0225) × 7%
= $353.2925 × 7%
= $24.73
Monthly Lease payment = Depreciation charge + Finance charge + Tax
= $240.27 + $113.0225 + $24.73
= $378.02
