Computing Lease Liability

Lessee Company enters into a 6-year finance lease of non-specialized equipment with Lessor Company on January 1, 2020. Lessee has agreed to pay $28,000 annually beginning immediately on January 1, 2020. The lessor estimates the residual value of the equipment to be $5,000 at lease end, but the lessee has not guaranteed the residual value. The economic life of the asset is 7 years.

What is the value of the lease liability on January 1, 2020, assuming that the lease is properly classified as a finance lease?
