Sondheim Ltd. entered into a finance lease with New Age Leasing Corp. The lease is for new specialized factory equipment that has a fair value of $2,786,000. The expected useful life of the equipment is 10 years, although its physical life is far greater. The initial lease term begins on 1 April 20X2 and runs for 10 years. Annual lease payments are $372,000, payable at the beginning of each lease year. After the initial lease term, Sondheim has the option of renewing the lease on a year-by-year basis for as long as Sondheim wishes. Since the equipment will be obsolete by that time, the renewal is set at $18,000 per year, which is expected to be a fair rental value for equipment of that age. Other information is as follows: (Round time value factor to 5 decimal places, intermediate calculations and final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
