What is the balance in the lease payable account after the April 1,
2018, lease payment?
Total lease liability = $250,000
Balance in lease payable account after first lease payment on January 1, 2018 = $250,000 - $16,315 = $233,685
Interest included in the lease payment made on April 1, 2018 = $233,685 x 12% x 1/4 = $7,010.55
Principal amount included in the lease payment made on April 1, 2018 = $16,315 - $7,010.55 = $9,304.45
Therefore,
Balance in lease payable account after April 1, 2018 lease payment = $233,685 - $9,304.45 = $224,380.60
Thus, the correct answer is $224,381 (rounded up).
