Rhone-Metro Industries manufactures equipment that is sold or leased. On December 31, 2011, Rhone-Metro leased equipment to Western Soya Co. for a non cancelable stated lease term of four years ending December 31, 2015, at which time possession of the leased asset will revert back to Rhone-Metro. The equipment cost $300,000 to manufacture and has an expected useful life of six years. Its normal sales price is $365,760. The expected residual value of $25,000 at December 31, 2015, is not guaranteed. Western Soya Co. can exercise a bargain purchase option on December 30, 2014, at an option price of $10,000. Equal payments under the lease are $134,960 (including $4,000 annual executory costs) and are due on December 31 of each year. The first payment was made on December 31, 2011. Collectability of the remaining lease payments is reasonably assured, and Rhone-Metro has no material cost uncertainties. Western Soya's incremental borrowing rate is 12%. Western Soya knows the interest rate implicit in the lease payments is 10%. Both companies use straight-line depreciation.

1. Show how Rhone-Metro calculated the $134,960 annual lease payments.
