On January 1, 20X0, a company leases equipment for 8 years, its entire life. Payments are $10,000 per year on January 1 with the first one made immediately. The present value of these payments at the lessee's incremental borrowing rate of 10 percent per year is assumed to be $58,000. The present value of these payments at the lessor's implicit interest rate (which is known by the lessee) of 8 percent is assumed to be $62,000. What amount of interest expense should the lessee recognize for 20X0?
