The primary objective is to obtain long term income to finance ongoing projects 5 and 19 years from the present time. The engineering company makes a proposal to the mining company that it pay $55,000 per year for 30 years beginning 1 year from now, plus $173,000 5 years from now and $338,000 19 years from now.

Homework Answers

Present value of each lease payment = lease payment / (1 + required rate of return)n
where n = number of years after which the lease payment occurs
Amount to pay now = $670,432
