    There will be changes in both balance sheet and income statement:

    1. Balance sheet:

    At, January 1, 2018 both asset and liability will increase by the amount equal to present value of all lease payments:

    Present value of all lease payments = 33,000 + 33,000 / (1 + 8%) + ... + 33,000 / (1 + 8%) ^4 = 142,300.19

    2. Profit and loss statement:

    At, January 1, 2018 interest expense will increase by the amount equal to present value of all lease payments multiplied by the interest rate, or: 142,300.19 x 8% = 11,384.01
