    Total increase in pretax earnings on Summer's December 31, 2019, income statement is $20,253

    Explanation:

    Fair value of asset sold on lease = Present value of lease payments = $50,000 * Cumulative PV factor at 6% for 8 periods of annuity due

    = $50,000 * 6.20979

    = $310,490

    Interest income for 2019 = ($310490 - $50,000) * 6% = $15,629

    Total increase in pretax earnings on Summer's December 31, 2019, income statement = $310490 - $300,000 + $15,629 - 5866 = $20,253
