Amount of principal reduction recorded


Paul, Inc. leased equipment from Tower Company under a four-year lease requiring equal annual payments of $86,038, with the first payment due at lease inception. The lease does not transfer ownership, nor is there a bargain purchase option. The equipment has a 4 year useful life and no salvage value. Pisa, Inc.'s incremental borrowing rate is 10% and the rate implicit in the lease (which is known by Pisa, Inc.) is 8%. Assuming that this lease is properly classified as a capital lease, what is the amount of principal reduction recorded when the second lease payment is made in Year 2? Please show your calculations
