Answer: $3,500
Explanation:
A payment of $12,000 had been made on the 1st of July already so the lease value would have reduced to;
= 82,000 - 12,000
= $70,000
Interest on this is;
= 10% * 70,000
= $7,000
However, only half a year have passed yet the $7,000 is for a year so by the accrual principle only the insurance for half a year should be recognized;
= 70,000 * 6/12 months
= $3,500
