Was this entry correct? If not, provide the correct entry.
a) To arrive at a decision, we have to calculate present value of future lease payments. The formula for PV is
PV(Rte, Nper, PMT,FV,Type) where rate = interest rate
Nper = Period
PMT = Payment
FV = Future value
Type = 1 as it is annuity due
Present value of first 10 payments of $ 350,000 = PV(5%,10,350000,0,1) = $28,37,737.59
Present value of remaining 10 payments of $300,000 = PV(5%,10,300000,0,1) = $ 24,32,346.50
Todays value of present value of last 10 payments = 2432346.50/(1+5%)^10 = $ 14,93,249.76
Total payment with lease option = $ 28,37,737.59+ $ 14,93,249.76 = $ 43,30,987.35
No, The CFO has not made the right decision, as present value of lease option is less than the purchase price of the building of $ 4,500,000.
b) We have to calculate present value of 5 annual payments in order to correct the journal entry.
Here rate = 4%, Nper = 5, PMT = $20,000 and FV = 0
Present value of annual payments = PV(4%,5,20000,0) = $89036.45 (present value of land)
So the correct journal entry is
Notes receivable(present value) Dr $ 89,036.45
Loss on sale of land Dr $ 963.55
Land A/c Cr $ 90,000
