You just signed a five-year car lease. The lease requires you to make 5 equal annual payments of $14,000 with your first payment due immediately. Find the value of your lease if the interest rate is 5.2% p.a.
Value of Lease payments = Anuual Lease payment + Anuual Lease payment / (1 + interest rate)1 + ...+ Anuual Lease payment / (1 + interest rate)4
Value of Lease payments = $14000 + $14000 / (1 + 5.2%)1 + ...+ $14000 / (1 + 5.2%)4
Using present value interest factor of an annuity formula
Value of Lease payment = Annual lease payments * ((1 - (1 + interest rate)- no of periods)/ interest rate) * (1 + interest rate)
Value of Lease payment = $14000 * (1 - (1 + 5.2%)-5) / 5.2% * (1 + 5.2%)
Value of Lease payment = $63,413.54
