Vehicle lease payments [LO 27.3] Vehicles are often leased, and several terms are unique to vehicle leases. Suppose you are considering leasing a car. The price you and the dealer agree on for the car is $41 900. This is the base capitalised cost. Other costs added to the capitalised cost price include the acquisition (bank) fee, insurance or extended warranty. Assume these costs are $850. Capitalisation cost reductions include any down payment, credit for trade-in or dealer rebate. Assume you make a down payment of $4 300, and there is no trade-in or rebate. If you drive 10 000 kilometres per year, the leaseend residual value for this car will be $30 500 after three years. The lease or ‘money’ factor, which is the interest rate on the loan, is the APR of the loan divided by 2 400.6 The lease factor the dealer quotes you is 0.00195. The monthly lease payment consists of three parts: a depreciation fee, a finance fee and administrative charge. The depreciation fee is the net capitalisation cost minus the residual value, divided by the term of the lease. The net capitalisation cost is the cost of the car minus any cost reductions plus any additional costs. The finance fee is the net capitalisation cost plus the residual, times the money factor, and the monthly administrative charge is the depreciation payment plus the finance fee, times the tax rate. What APR is the dealer quoting you? What is your monthly lease payment for a 36-month lease if the administrative charge is 7 per cent?
