Suppose on 31-Dec-2019 you entered into a forward contract to buy one share of stock XYZ for delivery price = L = $50 with delivery date 31-Dec-2020.  You enter t and S(t) into your formula for V(S,t) to figure out today’s value of the contract.  Now suppose you learn to your surprise that interest rates are not constant; they can change in an uncertain way over the time period from today to 31-Dec-2020.

[A]  Assume that today’s stock price and the interest rates that prevail today have not changed.   Will the forward price that you compute today (for delivery date 31-Dec-2020) change because of your revised view that future interest rates are uncertain?

[B]  Will V(S,t), the value of the forward contract, change?  Why or why not?

Cullumber Corporation, which uses ASPE, enters into a 6-year lease of equipment on September 1, 2020, that requires 6 annual payments of $38,000 each, beginning September 1, 2020. In addition, Cullumber guarantees the lessor a residual value of $27,000 at lease end. The equipment has a useful life of seven years.

Using (1) tables, (2) a financial calculator, or (3) Excel functions, calculate the amount of the capital lease and prepare Cullumber’s September 1, 2020 journal entry assuming an interest rate of 12%. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the 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 factor values to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)

Mac Leasing Company (lessor) and Ash Corporation (lessee) signed a four-year lease on January 1, 2020. The underlying asset has an estimated life of six years, and the property reverts to Mac at the end of the lease term. Lease payments of $34,577 are payable on January 1 of each year and were set to yield Mac a return of 8%, which was known to Ash. The estimated residual value at the end of the lease term is $29,000 and is guaranteed by Ash Corporation. Ash expects the estimated residual value at the end of the lease term to be $29,000. The lease contains no purchase option.

a) Prepare an amortization schedule of the lease liability.

b)Prepare the entries for Ash Company for 2020.

c)Let’s now assume that Ash Corporation expects the estimated residual value at the end of the lease term to be $10,150 instead. Prepare the entries for Ash Corporation for 2020.

A. Assuming no §83(b) election was made, indicate the amount of income, if any, that would be taxable in each year: (Put a $0 on the line if no income needs to be reported.) 2019 Taxable Income ________________ 2020 Taxable Income ________________

B. Assuming T made the §83(b) election, indicate the amount of income, if any, that would be taxable in each year: (Put a $0 on the line if no income needs to be reported.) 2019 Taxable Income_______________ 2020 Taxable Income_______________

Computing Partial Period Depreciation under Multiple Depreciation Methods

To demonstrate the computations involved in several methods of depreciating a fixed asset, the following information is provided.

Required

Compute the annual depreciation using each of the following methods assuming that the asset was purchased on August 1, 2020.

a. Sum-of-the-years’-digits method: Compute the depreciation amount for each year.

b. Double-declining-balance method: Compute the depreciation amount for each year.

At 30 June 2019, Boxes Ltd reported the following assets.

All assets are measured using the cost model.
At 30 June 2019, the recoverable amount of the entity, considered to be a single CGU, was $272 000.
For the period ending 30 June 2020, the depreciation charge on plant was $18 400. If the plant had not been impaired the charge would have been $25 000.
At 30 June 2020, the recoverable amount of the entity was calculated to be $13 000 greater than the carrying amount of the assets of the entity. As a result, Boxes Ltd recognised a reversal of the previous year’s impairment loss.

Required

Prepare the journal entries relating to impairment at 30 June 2019 and 2020.
