The formula to calculate the lease discount rate is:
\[ DR = \frac{FV - PV}{FV \times n} \]
Where:
A lease discount rate, also known as the lease interest rate, is the interest rate used in the financial calculations to determine the present value of a lease. It is used to discount future cash flows from a lease to their present value, which is the amount that the lessee would need to invest currently to cover the lease payments in the future. This rate is often determined by the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate or the rate implicit in the lease.
Example 1:
Step 1: Calculate the lease discount rate:
\[ DR = \frac{10000 - 8000}{10000 \times 5} = \frac{2000}{50000} = 0.04 \]
Example 2:
Step 1: Calculate the lease discount rate:
\[ DR = \frac{15000 - 12000}{15000 \times 10} = \frac{3000}{150000} = 0.02 \]
