Yes, to both. The 4.2% annual interest rate is used to amortize the lease in much the same way that a loan is amortized. The Adjusted lease balance is comparable to its loan balance cousin and is easy to calculate. To find the interest rate, use the Excel RATE function which I’ve detailed in several other posts.
Honestly, I would be very reluctant to lease in Ill and NY because of taxes, especially if I’m going to purchase the vehicle within 30 days.
If you carry the lease to full term, you will owe the residual value which is shown in Section 11 in the amount of 26,833 plus tax and any applicable fees. If you buy the vehicle, you will pay the agreed upon value (sell price) of 50113 plus tax and other fees. However, there may be other discounts available only to purchasers which means your purchase price may be considerably less than 50133. This is something you should address with the dealer. I would also check Edmunds to see if there are other rebates/incentives. Buying within a month will probably cost about 51,300.

Thanks for the response and that’s why I’m considering not buying it out in a month given the MF for the 2023.
Not sure where you’re getting 4461. You may want to check out my post dealing with the lease v, buy decision…

This was my back of the napkin math here (was wrong about the 4461):
- Buyout in 1 month: 26833 (Residual value) + 21000 (Depreciation amount minus the first month payment already made) = 47833 * 1.07 (lake county, IL tax) = 51181. The 0 DAS includes the tax already paid for the full 36 months. Toyota gives 6500 lease cash only for leases, no purchase offers, and of that 6500 (4171 goes towards the 0 DAS (first month, reg, doc fee, tax on reductions, 36 month tax, and dmv tax), the remaining 2300 goes towards CCR.
Cash Purchase price: 51,353 * 1.07 = 54,948
Full 36 month lease + Lease buyout = (26833 * 1.07) + 26316 = 28711 + 26316 = 55027 (Residual * 7% tax + Full lease payments).
If my math above is correct, leasing and buying out immediately saves me $3767 (54948 - 51181). However, given the “low” MF, and the near no difference between leasing the car for 3 years and then buying out vs buying with cash outright, it almost appears that I’m getting a 0% loan on the vehicle for 3 years (and I could keep the future lease amounts and cash buyout amount in a HYSA or similar and gain the interest). I know it’s not a great situation but it’s better than having no deal at all (assuming my math is correct).
