Question

Amirante SA manufactures a CT scanner with an estimated life of 12 years and leases it to Chambers Medical Center for a period of 10 years. The normal selling price of the machine is $2,000,000, and its guaranteed residual value at the end of the lease term is $300,000. The hospital will pay equal rentals at the beginning of each year starting January 1, 2019. The machine has a cost of $1,200,000 on Amirante’s books on January 1, 2019. Amirante has determined that collectability of the lease payments is probable, and the implicit interest rate is 5%. The lease contains no renewal options, and the CT scanner reverts to Amirante upon termination of the lease. Chambers Medical Center has an incremental borrowing rate of 6% and an expects the residual value of the CT scanner at the end of the lease will be around $200,000. Chambers Medical Center is unaware that the Amirante used an implicit rate of 5% in setting the amount of annual rental.
