Prepare Journal Entries Bramble would make in 2017 and 2018

Prepare Journal Entries Vaughn would make in 2017 and 2018

1. The term of the lease is 7 years with no renewal option, and the machinery has an estimated economic life of 9 years. 2. The cost of the machinery is $575,000, and the fair value of the asset on January 1, 2017, is $755,000. 3. At the end of the lease term, the asset reverts to the lessor and has a guaranteed residual value of $103,000. Bramble depreciates all of its equipment on a straight-line basis. 4. The lease agreement requires equal annual rental payments, beginning on January 1, 2017. 5. The collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the amount of costs yet to be incurred by the lessor. 6. Vaughn desires a 9% rate of return on its investments. Bramble’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%, and the lessor’s implicit rate is unknown.

Explanation / Answer

1. Calculation fo Annual rental Payment Annual Rental payment = $755,000 - ($103,000 x 0.54073)/5.48592                                                   = $127,473 Present value of $1 at 9% for 7 years = 0.54073 Present value of annuity due at 9% for 7 years = 5.48592 2. Calculation of Present value of minimum lease payment (Period = 7 years, rate = 10%) Present value of annual rental payment ($127473 x 5.35526) $682,651 Present value of guaranteed residual value ($103000 x 0.51316) $52,855 Present value of minimum lease payement $735,506 3.
