Under which circumstances will a lessor likely charge higher lease rates?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the cost of borrowing increases, the lessor may charge higher lease rates to cover the increased cost of financing the asset. A higher cost of borrowing could be due to changes in market interest rates or the lessor's creditworthiness. The other choices are unlikely to result in higher lease rates, as an increase in the lessor's tax rate would decrease their after-tax returns and a higher residual value or lower purchase price of the asset would decrease their risk and cost of financing.
