On January $1,2024,$ Rick's Pawn Shop leased a truck from Corey Motors for a six$-$year period with an option to extend the lease for

three years.

Rick's had no significant economic incentive as of the beginning of the lease to exercise the three$-$year extension option. Annual

lease payments are $$25,000$ due on December $31$ of each year, calculated by the lessor using a $4\%$ discount rate.

The expected useful life of the asset is nine years, and its fair value is $$187,500.$

Assume that at the beginning of the third year, January $1,2026,$ Rick's had made significant improvements to the truck whose

cost could be recovered only if it exercises the extension option, creating an expectation that extension of the lease was

"reasonably certain."

The relevant interest rate at that time was $5\%.$
