  3. On 1 May 2015, Dodoma Ltd. entered into two leasing contracts as explained below:

    Contract A 
    The contract was to lease motor vehicles for a two year period. The estimated useful life ofthe vehicles at the start of the lease was 5 years. It was the responsibility of the lessor to repair and insure the vehicles. The lease stated that Dodoma Ltd. should pay a deposit of Sh.600,000 at the start of the lease followed by monthly payments of Sh.200,000 in arrears. The lease rentals figure for the year ended 30 April 2016 includes Sh.3,000,000 in respect of this lease. The vehicles were to be used by office staff.

    Contract B 
    The contract was to lease a number of machines. The lease was for a four year period which was the estimated useful life of the machines. Dodoma Ltd. was required to repair and insure the machines which would have no residual value at the end of the lease. The lease rentals were set at Sh.10,000,000 every six months payable in advance. The lease rental figure for the year includes Sh.20,000,000 in respect of this lease. The rate of interest implicit in this lease was 5% per six months period.
