Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Lessee

A lessee is a person who is involved in the lease agreement in which the lessor transfers the rights to use the assets to the lessee. The lessee makes payment to the lessor for the asset he acquired as per the lease agreement.

02

Computation of annual Payments.

Cost (fair value) of the leased asset to the lessor Less: Present value of salvage value (residual value in this case)	$160,000 13,223
Amount to be recovered through lease payments	$146,777
Two periodic lease payments	$84,571

Working Notes:-

Calculation of present value of the salvage

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Present}\mathrm{value}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{salvage}=\mathrm{salvage}\mathrm{value}×\mathrm{present}\mathrm{value} \\ =\$16,000×0.82645 \\ =\$13,223 \end{gathered}$$

Note: Present value of 1 at 10% for 2 periods

Calculation of two periodic lease payments

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Two}\mathrm{periodic}\mathrm{lease}\mathrm{payments}=\frac{\mathrm{Amount}\mathrm{recovered}\mathrm{through}\mathrm{lease}}{\mathrm{present}\mathrm{value}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{annuity}} \\ =\frac{\$146,777}{1.73554} \\ =\$84,571 \end{gathered}$$

Note: Present value of an ordinary annuity of 1 for 2 periods at 10%
