Question:
Cardinal Ltd. is negotiating to lease a piece of equipment to MTBA plc. MTBA requests that the lease be for 9 years. The equipment has a useful life of 10 years. Cardinal wants a guarantee that the residual value of the equipment at the end of the lease is at least £5,000. MTBA agrees to guarantee a residual value of this amount though it expects the residual value of the equipment to be only £2,500 at the end of the lease term. If the fair value of the equipment at lease commencement is £70,000, what would be the amount of the annual rental payments Cardinal demands of MTBA, assuming payments will be made at the beginning of each year and Cardinal wishes to earn a rate of return on the lease of 8%?
