Federated Fabrications leased a tooling machine on January 1, 2024, for a three-year period ending December 31, 2026. The lease agreement specified annual payments of $36,000 beginning with the first payment at the beginning of the lease, and each December 31 through 2025. The company had the option to purchase the machine on December 30, 2026, for $45,000 when its fair value was expected to be $60,000, a sufficient difference that exercise seems reasonably certain. The machines estimated useful life was six years with no salvage value. Federated was aware that the lessors implicit rate of return was 12%. Note: Use tables, Excel, or a financial calculator. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1)
