A lease agreement that qualifies as a finance lease calls for
annual lease payments of $50,000 over a six-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 5%. (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 present value of the lease upon
the lease's inception.
b. Create a partial amortization through the first
payment on January 1, 2017.
c. If the lessee’s fiscal year is the calendar
year, what would be the pretax amounts related to the lease that
the lessee would report in its income statement for the first year
ended December 31?
