Question

On December 31, 2016, Yard Art Landscaping leased a delivery truck from Branch Motors. Branch paid $36,000 for the truck. Its retail value is $67,371. The lease agreement specified annual payments of $21,500 beginning December 31, 2016, the inception of the lease, and at each December 31 through 2019. Branch Motors’ interest rate for determining payments was 14%. At the end of the four-year lease term (December 31, 2020) the truck was expected to be worth $10,000. The estimated useful life of the truck is five years with no salvage value. Both companies use straight-line depreciation. Yard Art guaranteed a residual value of $6,000. Guarantor Assurance Corporation was engaged to guarantee a residual value of $9,000, but with a deductible equal to any amount paid by the lessee ($9,000 reduced by any amount paid by the lessee). Yard Art’s incremental borrowing rate is 12%. A $3,000 per year maintenance agreement was arranged for the truck with an outside service firm. As an expediency, Branch Motors agreed to pay this fee. It is, however, reflected in the $21,500 lease payments. Collectibility of the lease payments by Yard Art is reasonably predictable and there are no costs to the lessor that are yet to be incurred. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

It is a capital lease because lease term equal to 75% or more of the expected economic life of the asset (4 yrs > 75% of 5 yrs).

2. Present value of periodic lease payments                    35,313

Excluding executor costs of $1,000

($10,000 x 3.53129*)

Add: Present value of lessee-guaranteed                       4,251

Residual value (6,000 x 0.70843**)

Present value of minimum lease payments                  39,562  

*PVIFA @ 9%, 4

(1.09^4-1)/(0.09*1.09^4) = 3.53129

**PVIF @ 9%, 4

1/1.09^4 = 0.70843

3. Option A is correct.

It is a capital lease because lease term equal to 75% or more of the expected economic life of the asset (4 yrs > 75% of 5 yrs) and present value of the minimum lease payments equal to or greater than 90% of the fair value of the asset.
