Explanation:

a. To calculate the annual lease payment we woud have to use the following formula:

Annual lease payment = [Fair value of each trailer * Number of trailer given in lease] / PVAF(8%,6 years)

Present Value Factor

0 1.000000

1 0.925926

2 0.857339

3 0.793832

4 0.735030

5 0.680583

Total 4.992710

Cost of each Tractor= $45,000

No. of Tractor=10

Therefore, Total Cost=45,000 ×10= $450,000

Therefore, annual lease payment=$450,00/4.992710

annual lease payment=$90,131

b. The journal entries for both the lessee and lessor for 2020 to record the lease agreement and the year-end entries would be as follows:
