Mid-South Auto Leasing leases vehicles to consumers. The attraction to customers is that the company can offer competitive prices due to volume buying and requires an interest rate implicit in the lease that is one percent below alternate methods of financing. On September 30, 2018, the company leased a delivery truck to a local florist, Anything Grows.
The lease agreement specified quarterly payments of $3,000 beginning on September 30, 2018, the beginning of the lease, and each quarter (December 31, March 31, and June 30) through June 30, 2021 (three-year lease term). The florist had the option to purchase the truck on September 29, 2020, for $6,000 when it was expected to have a residual value of $10,000. The estimated useful life of the truck is four years. Mid-South Auto Leasing's quarterly interest rate for determining payments is 3% (approximately 12% annually). Mid-South paid $25,000 for the truck. Both companies use straight-line depreciation or amortization. Anything Grows' incremental interest rate is 12%.
Hint: A lease term ends for accounting purposes when an option becomes exercisable if it's expected to be exercised (i.e. a BPO).
1. Calculate the amount of selling profit that Mid-South would recognize in this sales-type lease. (Be careful to note that, although payments occur on the last calendar day of each quarter, since the first payment was at the beginning of the lease, payments represent an annuity due.)
2. Prepare the appropriate entries for Anything Grows and Mid-South on September 30, 2018.
3. Prepare an amortization schedule(s) describing the pattern of interest expense for Anything Grows and interest revenue for Mid-South Auto Leasing over the lease term.
4. Prepare the appropriate entries for Anything Grows and Mid-South Auto Leasing on December 31, 2018.
5. Prepare the appropriate entries for Anything Grows and Mid-South on September 29, 2020, assuming the purchase option was exercised on that date.

Cantel Company produces cleaning compounds for both commercial and household customers. Some of these products are produced as part of a joint manufacturing process. For example, GR37, a coarse cleaning powder meant for commercial sale, costs $2.40 a pound to make and sells for $2.50 per pound. A portion of the annual production of GR37 is retained for further processing in a separate department where it is combined with several other ingredients to form SilPol, which is sold as a silver polish, at $4.00 per unit. The additional processing requires 1/5 pound of GR37 per unit; additional processing costs amount to $2.60 per unit of SilPol produced. Variable selling costs for SilPol average $0.40 per unit. If production of SilPol were discontinued, $5,500 of costs in the processing department would be avoided. Cantel has, at this point, unlimited demand for, but limited capacity to produce, product GR37.
Required
1. Calculate the minimum number of units of SilPol that would have to be sold in order to justify further processing of GR37. 2. Assume that the cost data reported for GR37 are obtained at a level of output equal to 5,100 pounds, which is the maximum that the company can produce at this time. What is the expected operating income (loss) under each of the following scenarios: (a) all available capacity is used to produce GR37, but no SilPol; (b) 9,000 units of SilPol are produced, with the balance of capacity devoted to the production and sale of GR37; (c) 11,000 units of SilPol are produced, with the balance of capacity devoted to the production and sale of GR37; and (d) 13,000 units of SilPol are produced, with the balance of capacity devoted to the production and sale of GR37.
