Answer:

The answer is $2559.20

Explanation:

From the Question, we solve for the total expense over the term of the lease.

Given;

The amount of monthly lease payment = $ 309.32

The total number of monthly lease payment is = 60

Total lease of payment made over the term of lease = $ 309.32 * 60  =$18,559.20
