Suppose that Ramos contributes $5500/year into a traditional IRA earning interest at the rate of 5%/year compounded annually, every year after age 37 until his retirement at age 67. At the same time, his wife Vanessa deposits $3850/year (the amount after paying taxes at the rate of 30%) into a Roth IRA earning interest at the same rate as that of Ramos. Suppose that Ramos withdraws his investment upon retirement at age 67 and that his investment is then taxed at 30%. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

Problem 21-1

Monty Leasing Company agrees to lease machinery to Flounder Corporation on January 1, 2017. The following information relates to the lease agreement.

1. The term of the lease is 7 years with no renewal option, and the machinery has an estimated economic life of 9 years.
2. The cost of the machinery is $541,000, and the fair value of the asset on January 1, 2017, is $760,000.
3. At the end of the lease term, the asset reverts to the lessor and has a guaranteed residual value of $90,000. Flounder depreciates all of its equipment on a straight-line basis.
4. The lease agreement requires equal annual rental payments, beginning on January 1, 2017.
5. The collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the amount of costs yet to be incurred by the lessor.
6. Monty desires a 10% rate of return on its investments. Flounder’s incremental borrowing rate is 11%, and the lessor’s implicit rate is unknown.


(Assume the accounting period ends on December 31.)

Part 1:

Calculate the amount of the annual rental payment required. (Round present value factor calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and the final answer to 0 decimal places e.g. 58,971.)

My answer for Part 1 (INCORRECT): 133,805

Part 2:

Compute the present value of the minimum lease payments. (Round present value factor calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and the final answer to 0 decimal places e.g. 58,971.)

My answer for Part 2 (INCORRECT): 716,561

Part 3:

Prepare the journal entries Monty would make in 2017 and 2018. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Round answers to 0 decimal places e.g. 58,971.)

To record the lease, on 1/1/17

An order has been received from a chain of yoga studios for 12,000 straps at a special price of $10 per strap. If the special order is accepted, the unit variable manufacturing costs will increase by $0.20 per strap due to the addition of a special label the studio has requested be included on the straps. Additionally, the total fixed product costs will increase by 5%. Variable period costs consist solely of sales commissions, which will not be paid on the special order. Fixed period costs will not be affected by acceptance of the special order.
