The first payment was made on January 1, 2020 when the lease agreement was finalized. The interest rate of 10% which was stipulated in the lease agreement is the implicit rate set by the lessor. The effective interest method is being used. Blade expects the machine to have a ten-year life with no residual value, and be depreciated on a straight-line basis. Collectibility of the rentals is reasonably assured, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the costs yet to be incurred by Galactus. Both entities are small private corporations that follow ASPE.
