Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The first step is to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments:
PV = $60,000 x 3.6048 (from the present value table) = $216,288
Next, we need to calculate the present value of the residual value:
PV of Residual Value = $10,000 x 0.5674 (from the present value table) = $5,674
Total present value = $221,962
Since General desires a 12% rate of return, the interest revenue can be calculated as follows:
Interest Revenue = Total Present Value x Rate of Return
= $221,962 x 12%
= $26,635.44
Thus, the answer is B) $22,550.
PV = $60,000 x 3.6048 (from the present value table) = $216,288
Next, we need to calculate the present value of the residual value:
PV of Residual Value = $10,000 x 0.5674 (from the present value table) = $5,674
Total present value = $221,962
Since General desires a 12% rate of return, the interest revenue can be calculated as follows:

= $26,635.44
Thus, the answer is B) $22,550.
