Answer:

$139,644

Explanation:

Calculation for the effect of the lease on the lessor's earnings during the first year

Effect on lessor's pretax earnings

Sales revenue 690,000

Less Cost of goods sold(575,000)

Less Selling expense(19,500)

Interest revenue 44,144

Income effect $139,644

Calculation for Interest revenue

Interest revenue=(8%*690,000)-(8%*$138,201)

Interest revenue =55,200-11,056

Interest revenue=44,144

Therefore the effect of the lease on the lessor's earnings during the first year will be $139,644
