Question

Stellar Leasing Company leases a new machine that has a cost and fair value of $88,000 to Sharrer Corporation on a 3-year noncancelable contract. Sharrer Corporation agrees to assume all risks of normal ownership including such costs as insurance, taxes, and maintenance. The machine has a 3-year useful life and no residual value. The lease was signed on January 1, 2017. Stellar Leasing Company expects to earn a 9% return on its investment. The annual rentals are payable on each December 31. Prepare an amortization schedule that would be suitable for both the lessor and the lessee and that covers all the years involved.

Explanation / Answer

Cost of machine = 88000

Life of lease = 3 years

Annual return on investment = 9%

Annual lease rental = 88000/Present value annuity factor (9%, 3)

= 88000/2.5313

= 34764.75
