    The implied interest rate for the lease payments is 8%.

    Explanation:

    The implied interest rate (or interest rate implicit in lease) is the rate at which minimum lease payment is equal to current fair value (present value) of asset leased out. Using the following formula we can easily calculate implied interest rate for the lease payments. Detail calculation is given below.

    PV = MLPS (1 - (1+interest rate%) ^-period) / i

    39,927 = 10,000 (1 - (1+I) ^-5) / I

    3.9927 = Anuity factor

    (using annuity table)

    Interest = 8%
