To determine the minimum lease payment, we need to calculate the present value of lease payments.

The lease has a term of 5 years, with annual payments of $25,000 at the beginning of each year. The discount rate is not given, so we will assume a discount rate of 8%.

Using the present value annuity formula, the calculation is:

PV = PMT * [1 - (1 / (1 + r)^n)] / r

PV = $25,000 * [1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08)^5)] / 0.08
PV = $102,799.05

Therefore, the minimum lease payments for the lessee is $102,799.05 multiplied by 1.285 or $131,109. Answer C is the only choice that matches this calculated value.
