Question - Metro Company, a dealer in machinery and equipment, leased equipment to Sands, Inc., on July 1, 2018. The lease is appropriately accounted for as a sales-type lease by Metro and as a finance lease by Sands. The lease is for a 10-year period (the useful life of the asset) expiring June 30, 2028.

Metro had purchased the equipment for €5,250,000 on January 1, 2018, and established a list selling price of €7,200,000 on the equipment. Assume that the present value at July 1, 2018, of the rent payments over the lease term discounted at 8% (the appropriate interest rate) was €6,000,000.
