Full Answer
C.$45,500✓ Correct
C
Lease Liability = PV of Lease Payments. Since payments are at the beginning, use Annuity Due factor. $10,000 * 4.55 = $45,500. (Note: The first payment reduces the liability immediately, but the initial recognition is the PV).
Common mistakes
Using Ordinary Annuity factor for advance payments.
