On the first day of its fiscal year, Lessor, Inc.,
leased certain property at an annual rental of
$100,000 receivable at the beginning of each year for 10 years. The
first payment was received immediately. The
leased property is new, had cost $650,000, and has an estimated
useful life of 13 years with no salvage value. The
rate implicit in the lease is 8%. The present value of an annuity
of $1 payable at the beginning of the period at 8%
for 10 years is 7.247. Lessor had no other costs associated with
this lease. Lessor should have accounted for this
lease as a sales-type lease but mistakenly treated the lease as an
operating lease. Lessor depreciates all of its
properties using the straight-line depreciation method. Ignoring
tax effects, what was the effect on net earnings
during the first year of treating this lease as an operating lease
rather than as a sale? why answer is :: Understatement of $74,676.
