Expert Solution
Step 1

1) Incremental Rate of Borrowing = 11%

PV of Minimum Lease Payments when annuity due = Annul lease payments * Present value of annuity due factor

                                                                                  = $4500 * PVAD(3 years,11%]

                                                                                  = $4500 * 2.71252

                                                                                  = $12,206.34

Formula: P = PMT * [1 – [ (1 / 1+r)^n] / r]

As we can observe, the lease is a finance lease as its term covers more than 75% of its economic life (3 of 3 years).

Under Finance Lease, Lease Asset would be recognised at its fair value along with lease payable on the liabilities side.   
The leased asset shall be recorded at the present value of MLP (or fair value if it is lower)
