The City of Jamestown has agreed to acquire a new city maintenance building under a capital lease agreement. At the inception of the lease, a payment of $100,000 is to be made; nine annual lease payments, each in the amount of $100,000, are to be made at the end of the year after the inception of the lease. The total amount to be paid under this lease, therefore, is $1,000,000. The town could borrow this amount for nine years at the annual rate of 8%; therefore, the present value of the lease at inception, including the initial lease payment, is $724,689. Assume that the fair market value of the building at the inception of the lease is $750,000.
