If you lease a $57,000 car with a $700 per month payment and its projected residual value is $37,000 at the end of the three year leasing period, what is the implied interest rate?
Calculating the implied interest rate on lease using the IRR technique:
First, we will calculate by taking Implied interest rate(r) as 3%
where, C= Loan AMount = $57000
F = Residual Value = $37000
n= no of period = 3 year*12 =36
r = periodic interest rate = 0.03/12 = 0.0025
Lease Payment = $ 674.12
- Then, we will calculate by taking Implied interest rate(r) as 4%
where, C= Loan AMount = $57000
F = Residual Value = $37000
n= no of period = 3 year*12 =36
r = periodic interest rate = 0.04/12 = 0.0033
Lease Payment = $ 713.84
Now, Calculating Implied Interest rate,
r = 3.65%
So, implied interest rate is 3.65%
