Brief Exercise 15-6 Sales-type lease; lessor; income statement effects [LO15-3]
A lease agreement that qualifies as a finance lease calls for
annual lease payments of $50,000 over a four-year lease term (also
the asset’s useful life), with the first payment at January 1, the
beginning of the lease. The interest rate is 7%. The lessor’s
fiscal year is the calendar year. The lessor manufactured this
asset at a cost of $144,000. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of
$1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the
tables provided.)
Required:
a. Determine the price at which the lessor is “selling” the asset
(present value of the lease payments).
b. Create a partial amortization through the first payment on
January 1, 2017.
c. What would be the amounts related to the lease that the lessor
would report in its income statement for the year ended December 31
(ignore taxes)?
