You pay a lease "factor" that's not technically an interest rate.
To determine how much you pay each month, the leasing company calculates how much your car is worth (now and at the lease end), divides this by the months you'll have the car for and assigns a factors to this amount.
The leasing companies are in business to make money and they'd often rather have you lease the car than buy it - there's more profit there.
The lease factor is typically a monthly rate used to calculate lease payments based on the vehicle's value and residual value. To convert a lease factor to an annual interest rate, you can use the formula: Interest Rate = Lease Factor × 12 × 100. Therefore, if the lease factor is 0.0016, the equivalent annual interest rate would be approximately 1.92% (0.0016 × 12 × 100).
As the equipment lease arrangement is not a loan, there's no interest rate. You're paying rental for the use of the equipment over a pre-determined period. You aren't repaying a loan.
The interest rate at which they lend out money changes, which changes your interest rate. Banks are a buisness and if their interest rates are lower then your interest rates, they make no money on it. The interest rate taht banks pay is changed because the rate that banks pay to the govenrment changes. Whnever the federal reserve rate changes,your interest rates can change.
An interest rate as a percentage is the one flat rate you must pay. Interest rate per annum is a compound interest, determined every year that the loan (or whatever) has not been paid back. Say, if you owed me $100 with a 1% per annum interest rate. You have to pay me back $101. If you have not repaid the loan, the next year you would have to pay me an extra 1% of $101, and so on.

Imputed interest in a capital lease is accounted for by recognizing the lease obligation as a liability on the balance sheet and recording the right-of-use asset. The lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments, discounted using the implicit interest rate of the lease or the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. Over the lease term, the imputed interest is recognized as an expense in the income statement, typically using the effective interest method, which allocates interest expense over the lease term based on the declining balance of the liability. This ensures that the financial statements reflect the cost of financing the leased asset accurately.

BMW lease calculator is used to estimate a monthly payment you can be comfortable in making should you decide to lease a BMW. Four factors to include would be the manufactor's price, interest rate, value of the car, and the number of years to pay for the car.
The interest is calculated on the purchase price (not the msrp or the difference between the price and the residual) so negotiate as big a discount as you can to pay less interest.

No, bonds pay a fixed amount of interest on a regular schedule.
If you pay your home off faster than the note, you will pay less interest. The interest will accumulate at the same rate (your rate was set when you signed your note), but you will pay less money towards interest in the end. If you pay your house off in 15 years rather than 30, you will save 15 years worth of interest.

Yes, if you agree to it. In order to be charged interest, you must be borrowing money, even on a credit card. If your credit card company is raising your interest rate to 34.97%, you are given the option to pay off your balance to avoid the interest rate. If you do not pay off the balance, you are, in essence, agreeing to pay the interest rate.
When you book the capital lease, record the asset at its fair market value or the present value of minimum lease payments, whichever is less. The capital lease obligation is recorded at the same amount. Minimum lease payments include all rental payments required during the term of the lease plus any residual value guaranteed by the lessee. They also include any payment the lessee must make for not renewing or extending the lease, including a requirement to purchase the asset. They do not include any guarantee of the lessor's debt by the lessee, contingent rentals, or any penalty for which the term of the lease has been extended. They also do not include the portion of the rent payments which represent executory costs, such as insurance, taxes, and maintenance, and any related profit. The interest rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments is normally your incremental borrowing rate (the interest rate you would pay to borrow a similar amount of money for a similar length of time), unless you know the lessor's implicit interest rate for the lease and that is lower than your incremental borrowing rate.

To calculate the money factor in a lease agreement, you divide the annual interest rate by 2400. This will give you the money factor, which is used to determine the finance charge on the lease.
