Gustav Leasing Company agrees to lease equipment to Julliard Corporation on January 1, 2017. The

following information relates to the lease agreement.

1. The term of the lease is 6 years with no renewal option, and the machinery has an estimated

economic life of 8 years.

3. At the end of the lease term, the asset reverts to the lessor and has a guaranteed residual value of

$35,000. Julliard estimates that the expected residual value at the end of the lease term will be $35,000.

Julliard amortizes all of its leased equipment on a straight-line basis.

4. The lease agreement requires equal annual rental payments, beginning on January 1, 2017.

5. The collectability of the lease payments is probable.

6. Gustav desires a 6% rate of return on its investments. Julliard’s incremental borrowing rate is 8%, and

the lessor’s implicit rate is unknown.

(Assume the accounting period ends on December 31)

(a) Discuss the nature of this lease for both the lessee and the lessor.

(b) Calculate the amount of the annual rental payment required.

(c) Compute the value of the lease liability to the lessee.

(d) Prepare the journal entries Julliard would make in 2017 and 2018 related to the lease arrangement.

Rebeca Pérez is the Controller of the firm Pérez Martínez & Asociados. She has been evaluating inventory reports over the past few months and thinks that one or more employees have been stealing large amounts of inventory that was for sale. Quickly, Rebeca asked the staff that manages the information systems to look for data that would help her solve this situation, however, they indicated that, mysteriously, much of the inventory information had been lost and they had no explanation for it. Rebeca talked to the company's internal auditors to ask about the missing reports and they were not aware of the situation either.

Based on the above, answer the following questions in paragraph form (5 to 6 sentences each):

1. What should Rebecca do? Should she call the police or should she hire an outside forensic accountant?

2. How can a forensic accountant help you solve this case? Look for outside information to elaborate on your answer.

3. What things can the forensic accountant do that an internal auditor cannot do?
