On January 1, 2021, Sauder Corporation signed a five-year noncancelable lease for equipment. The terms of the lease called for Sauder to make annual payments of $200,000 at the beginning of each year for five years beginning on January 1, 2021 with the title passing to Sauder at the end of this period. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years and no salvage value. Sauder uses the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its fixed assets. Sauder accordingly accounts for this lease transaction as a finance lease. The lease payments were determined to have a present value of $833,972 at an effective interest rate of 10%.

In 2022, Sauder should record interest expense of:

a. $43,397.

b. $49,737.

c. $69,737.

d. $63,397.

    d. $63397

    Explanation:

    Principal outstanding after first payment at beginning of Jan 1 2021 =

    833972 - 200000 (does not include interest as first payment made at beginning)

    = 633972

    interest expense = 633972 *.10 = $ 63397.20
