Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the net present value (NPV) (in bold red color) of these operating lease payments.
In the attached excel file, the discounting factor for each year is calculated as follows:
Discounting factor = 1 / (100% + Discount rate)^Number of the year
From the attached excel file, we have:
