Step-by-Step Worked Example

Scenario: $35,000 cap cost with $3,000 down (Net Cap: $32,000), 58% residual ($22,040), 0.00208 MF over 36 months.

  1. Depreciation = ($32,000 - $22,040) / 36 = $276.67/mo.
  2. Rent Charge = ($32,000 + $22,040) * 0.00208 = $112.40/mo.
  3. Base lease = $389.07 + taxes.

Result: $416.30 / month (with 7% tax)
