A contract requires lease payments of $900 at the beginning of every month for 7 years.
1-What is the present value of the contract if the lease rate is 3.25% compounded annually?
2- What is the present value of the contract if the lease rate is 3.25% compounded monthly?
1. Effective monthly rate, r = (1 + 0.0325)^(1/12) - 1
r = 0.002668808768
n = 7 * 12 = 84 months
PMT = 900
2. r = 3.25%/12 = 0.002708333333
PMT = 900
n = 84
