Hi everyone, I'm having a hard time with Chapter 5 (Becker) and I was wondering if someone could please explain the answer to this question:

Glade co leases computer equipment to customers under direct-financing leases. The equipment has no residual value at the end of the lease and the leases do not contain bargain options. Glade wishes to earn 8% interest on a five-year lease of equipment with a fair value of $323,400. The present value of an annuity due of $1 at 8% for five years is 4.312. What is the total amount of interest revenue that Glade will earn over the life of the lease?

a. 51,600
b. 75,000
c. 129,360
d. 139,450

The answer to this is A..

The Fair value of the equipment = $323,400
This fair value is considered as its present value.

Present Value = 4.312 * Annual Lease Payments
323400 = 4.312 * Annual Lease payments
therefore, Annual Lease payments = 75,000

Lease is for 5 yrs. So 75,000 * 5 = 375,000

Interest portion = 375,000 - 323,400 = $51,600

I do  not undersatnd this at all..I feel so discouraged with F5 & F6.

Please If anyone can elaborate on this

The fair value of the equipment is $323,400, which means Glade could sell the equipment today for $323,400 and invest it in another investment earning 8% per year rather than leasing the equipment. The problem states it is a direct financing lease so we do not have to consider "normal profit" as in sales type leases. The present value for 5 years is 4.312, so we divide that into the 323,400 to determine the annual payment. The annual payment is 75,000; multiply that by 5 years, and the total proceeds equal 375,000. That means, $51,600 is the amount of interest revenue Glade earns over the life of the lease.

 

 Payment   Interest = (Balance x 8%)   Principal = (Payment - Interest)   Balance = (Balance - Principal) 
    323,500
 YR 1      75,000                   -          75,000     248,500
 YR 2      75,000          19,880        55,120     193,380
 YR 3      75,000          15,470        59,530     133,850
 YR 4      75,000          10,708        64,292       69,558
 YR 5      75,000            5,565        69,435            123
         51,623
