    Down payment

    Explanation:

    Down payment is a initial cash outlay at the time of purchasing any capital intensive item (house, machinery, vehicles etc.) through lease or mortgage.

    Down payment reduces the total amount of external financing required (Company financing the purchase) thus the down payment reduces the periodic installment and interest rate charge on the financing.
