Question

Rumsfeld Corporation leased a machine on December 31, 2016, for a 3-year period. The lease agreement calls for annual payments in the amount of $16,000 on December 31 of each year beginning on December 31, 2016. Rumsfeld has the option to purchase the machine on December 31, 2019, for $20,000 when its fair value is expected to be $30,000. The machine's estimated useful life is expected to be five years with no residual value. Rumsfeld uses straight-line depreciation for this type of machinery. The appropriate interest rate for this lease is 12%.

Explanation / Answer

a)

Amount to be recorded as a leased asset and the associated lease liabiility = Annual payments*PVAD(12%,3) + Maturity Payment*PV(12%,3)

Amount to be recorded as a leased asset and the associated lease liabiility = 16000*2.69005 + 20000*0.71178

Amount to be recorded as a leased asset and the associated lease liabiility = $ 57,276.40
