    Perry's earnings will be increased by $21,000 due to this lease.

    Explanation:

    Increase in earning is the difference of price of the lease and the cost incurred for the lease of asset.

    Fair value$155,000

    Cost = $134,000

    Profit on sale = $155,000 - $134,000

    Profit on sale = $21,000

    As equipment was leased on December 31 So, no interest is earned in year 2018. $21,000 will be added to the earnings of Perry in 2018 due to this lease.
