Sarasota Corporation leased equipment to Metlock, Inc. on January 1, 2020. The lease agreement called for annual rental payments of $893 at the beginning of each year of the 4-year lease. The equipment has an economic useful life of 8 years, a fair value of $8,500, a book value of $6,500, and Sarasota expects a residual value of $6,000 at the end of the lease term. Sarasota set the lease payments with the intent of earning a 4% return, though Metlock is unaware of the rate implicit in the lease and has an incremental borrowing rate of 6%. There is no bargain purchase option, ownership of the lease does not transfer at the end of the lease term, and the asset is not of a specialized nature.

What is the amount of the rental payments used in the lease agreement? (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
