To calculate the lease payments we use the excel function PMT as in = PMT (rate, nper, pv, fv, type)

Rate = 11.2% Compounded monthly

Rate = 11.2%/12 (Monthly rate)

NPER = 24 months = 24

PV = 2650

FV = 0

TYPE = 1 (Since the payments are due immediately meaning this is an annuity due)

So, monthly payment = PMT (11%/12,24,2650,0,1) = $122.39

Your monthly lease payments should be = $122.39
