Answer: $1554228

Explanation:

Calculation of the lease liability that Crane should report in its December 31, 2021 balance sheet goes thus:

Annual Lease payment = $410,000

The present value of an annuity due of 1 for 6 years at 10% = 4.7908

We multiply the lease rentals by the present value of an annuity due of 1 for 6 years at 10%. This will be:

= $410,000 * 4.7908

= $1964228

We then subtract the first lease payment of $410,000 from the value gotten above. This will be:

= $1,964,228 - $410,000

= $1,554,228.
