Dr Right of use asset 57,277.20

    Cr Lease liability 57,277.20

Explanation:

we need to determine the present value of the lease contract + option to purchase

PVIF annuity due, 3 periods, 12% discount rate = 2.6901

present value of lease contract = annual lease payment x PVIF annuity due = $16,000 x 2.6901 = $43,041.60

PV of option to buy = $20,000 / 1.12%³ =  $14,235.60

PV of the contract = $57,277.20
