Answer: b. $93680
Explanation:
The cost of machine leased is $800000 with a required return of 10%, to calculate the Rental payments. We will use Loan repayment formula that calculates yearly required payments. the required payments represents rental payments Lane Co needs to make in order to earn a required return of 10%
cost = Present value = $800000
lease period = 20 years
required return (r) = 10%
Rental Payments = rPv/(1 - (1 + r)^-20
Rental Payments = (800000 x 0.10)/ (1 - (1 + 0.10)^-20) = 80000/(1 - (1.10)^-20)
Rental Payments = 93967.699815 = 93968
