    Answer: $86,822.50

    Explanation:

    GIVEN the following;

    Right-of-use asset = $100,000

    Annual payment = $16,275

    Interest rate = 10% = 0.1

    Calculate the balance in the Right-of-use asset after two years:

    We calculate the amortization expense for YEAR 1 and YEAR 2, and deduct each year's amortization expense from the Right-of-use asset balance

    Amortization expense = (Annual payment - interest on Right-of-use asset balance)

    Right-of-use asset balance = $100,000

    FIRST YEAR:

    10% * $100,000 = $10,000

    Annual payment = $16,275

    Amortization expense = $ (16,275 - $10,000) = $6,275

    Right-of-use asset balance after first year = $100,000 - $6,275 = $93,725

    YEAR 2:

    10% * $93,725 = $9,372.50

    Annual payment = $16,275

    Amortization expense = $ (16,275 - 9,372.50) = $6,902.50

    Right-of-use asset balance after second year = $93,725 - $6,902.50 = $86, 822.50
