A. Boeing,being the lessor, should classify the lease as direct financing lease
Sothwest,being the lessee, should classify the lease as capital lease since the lease period (20 years) is more than 75% of useful life of the equipment (20 years)
B. Present value of minimul lease payment:
$
Annual lease payment 25000000
Present value at implicit rate of 10% for 20 years
(Implicit rate of interest is considered here
since it is less than incremental borrowing
rate of 12%) 9.3649 *
Present value of minimul lease payment 234122500
*
lease is payable at the beginning of the period
Hence, while computing present value,PV factor for the first period will be 1.
For the next priod will be PV factor for first year
For the next priod will be PV factor for second year and so on
