If the lease is an operating lease, what will be the initial value of the right-of-use asset? 2. If the lease is an operating lease, what will be the initial value of the lease liability? 3. If the lease is an operating lease, what will be the lease expense shown on the income statement at the end of year 1?
Answer :
1) Here,
Initial value of the right-of-use asset = Present value of lease payments
= $81,556
2) Here,
Initial value of lease liability = Present value of lease payments
= $81,556
3) Here,
Lease expense = [ $17,000 + $22,000 + $27,000 + $32,000 ] / 4
= $24,500
