Based on the monthly payments and the lease period, the implied monthly discount rate is 0.5%.

How can we find the implied monthly discount rate?

We can use the RATE function on spreadsheets.

NPER = 18 months

PMT = $1,100

PV = -$18,984

FV = 0

Type = 1 because payment is at the beginning of the month

The return would be 0.5%.

Reg should make the one time payment because he is earning less than the discount rate.
