Question

ANTM Lease and BHP Ltd. sign a lease agreement dated 1 January 2019, that calls for ANTM
to lease a backhoe to BHP beginning January 1, 2019. The agreement asks ANTM Lease give
the right use of a backhoe to BHP for the periods of 1 January 2019 to 1 January 2022.
The terms and provisions of the lease agreement and other pertinent data are as follows:

requiring equal rental payments of $17,500 at the beginning of each year (annuity-
due basis).

2. The backhoe has a fair value at the commencement of the lease of ?????, an
estimated economic life of five years, and a guaranteed residual value of $3,500.
(BHP expects that it is probable that the expected value of the residual value at
the end of the lease will be greater than the guaranteed amount of $3,500.)
3. The lease contains no renewal options. The backhoe reverts to ANTM Lease at the
termination of the lease.
4. BHP incremental borrowing rate is 5 percent per year.
5. BHP depreciates its equipment on a straight-line basis.
