You are currently thinking of leasing an apartment. The current lease rates quoted by the lessor on the lease contracts of $ 1000 is $ 18 per month and $ 12.50 per month for 3-year and 5-year terms respectively. While the monthly lease rentals on the 3-year contract are payable in arrears, those for the 5-year contract are payable in advance (Assuming 10 percent marginal cost of debt to the lessee)

Aside from leasing an apartment, you are also thinking of a hire purchase plan for your car. The plan requires you to pay $ 91.68 per month in arrear over a 12 month period. Assuming the purchase price of the car is $ 1000 and there is no salvage value at the end of the life.

-Calculate the present values of the lease payments for both contracts.
