On Jan. 1, 2021, Ford Motor Company leased a fleet of 50 vans to Amazon Corporation. The lease agreement specifies that Amazon will make six annual payments of $600,000 beginning Jan. 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and each December 31 from 2021 through 2025. The six-year lease term is equal to the estimated useful life of the vehicles. Ford manufactured the fleet of vehicles at a total cost of $2,500,000. Using an interest rate of 10%, Ford calculates the present value of the lease payments to be received as $2,874,474. (This amount was calculated by multiplying the $600,000 annual payments x 4.79079 which is the present value of an annuity due where n = 6, i = 10%).
