Renter’s Dilemma

Adam's, Inc., a publicly traded corporation, plans to lease equipment from Jackson Co. (Jackson) on January 1, 2020, for a period of three years. Lease payments of $100,000 are due to Jackson each year. Other expenses (e.g., insurance, taxes, and maintenance) are also to be paid by Adams and amount to $2,000 per year. Jackson will not incur any initial direct costs. The lease contains no purchase or renewal options and the equipment reverts back to Jackson on the expiration of the lease. The remaining useful life of the equipment is four years. The fair value of the equipment at lease inception is $265,000. Adams has guaranteed $20,000 as the residual value at the end of the lease term. The $20,000 represents the expected value of the leased equipment to Adams at the end of the lease term. The salvage value of the equipment is expected to be $2,000 after the end of its economic life. Adam’s incremental borrowing rate is 11 percent (Jackson’s implicit rate is 10 percent and is calculable by Adams from the lease agreement).

The junior accountant of Adams analyzed the assets under lease, determined whether the lease was an operating lease or finance lease, and prepared the applicable journal entries. The senior accountant of Adams reviewed the junior accountant’s analysis and prepared a separate analysis. As the finance controller, you were given both analyses to determine the correct accounting treatment. Calculations and journal entries performed by your junior and senior accountant follow:

Present Value of the Lease Obligation

Using the rate implicit in the lease (10 percent), the present value of the guaranteed residual value would be $15,026 ($20,000 x 0.7513), and the present value of the annual payments would be $248,685 ($100,000 x 2.4869).

Using the incremental borrowing rate (11 percent), the present value of the guaranteed residual value would be $14,624 ($20,000 x 0.7312), and the present value of the annual payments would be $244,371 ($100,000 x 2.4437).

Junior accountant analysis:

Since the equipment reverts back to Jackson, it is an operating lease. 840

Entry to be posted in years 1, 2, and 3:

Dr. Rent expense                        $100,000

Dr. Insurance expense                   $2,000

              Cr. Cash                                                        $102,000

        (Operating lease rental paid to Jackson)

Senior accountant analysis:

Step 1 – Lease classification

The lease term is for three years. The useful life of the equipment is four years. Since the lease term is for a major part of the useful life of the equipment, it is a finance lease.

Step 2 – Computation of the lease asset and obligation

Since Adam’s incremental borrowing rate is greater than the implicit rate in the lease, compute the present value of the minimum lease payments using the 11 percent rate.

Present value of the minimum lease payments = $100,000 x 2.4437 = $244,371.

Step 3 – Allocation of payments between interest and lease obligation

Since interest has to be charged on the straight-line method, the following is the allocation of the interest and the reduction in the lease liability.

Entry to be posted in year 1 for capitalization of equipment:

Db. Equipment                            $244,371

              Cr. Lease obligation                                 $244,371

Entry to be posted in years 1, 2, and 3 for payment:

Dr. Rent expense                             $2,000

Dr. Interest expense                    $26,881

Dr. Lease obligation                     $73,119

              Cr. Cash                                                        $102,000

        (Finance lease rental paid to Jackson)

Are either of the above analyses correct? If so, which one? If not, why not and what would need to be changed? Please provide appropriate codification support for your conclusions. ( Use answers according FASB Codifications)

1. A small mattress company recently started its operations and currently does not have enough resources to utilize high-tech forecasting software. The manager wants to utilize traditional methods of forecasting to estimate demand. The following recent data on monthly sales are available from the past year. Use this information to answer the following set of questions.

1. If the manager uses a naïve forecasting method. What is the forecast for Jan 2020? (2 pts.)

1. Use the three-period moving average method and estimate forecast beginning from Aug-19 to Jan-20. Use 0.4, 0.3, and 0.2 as weights with highest weights given to the most recent periods (8 pts.)
   
2. Calculate the Mean Absolute Deviation of forecasts from the three-period moving average. (5 pts.)
   

              2. Use the same date from Q1. to answer the following questions. (10 pts.)

1. Use the exponential smoothing method to calculate forecast from Aug-19 to Jan-20. Use an α value of 0.3.

You need a beginning forecast of Jul-19 to start this. Use the naïve forecast for estimating Jul-19, and then use the answer to start the exponential smoothing method.

An industrial engineer at an appliance repair company compared a new strategy for dispatching its service technicians to its usual way. The new strategy consisted of using software to solve the vehicle routing problem (a mathematical program) each morning after several service calls came in. The old way was to simply wait for a service request, then send any available technician. Each of the thirty-six technicians was assigned to either the old or new way, so that there were exactly eighteen in each group. The company carried out this experiment over 40 working days, and the average daily mileages for the thirty-six repairpersons are below.

9. The American novelist James Baldwin wrote, "Words like freedom, justice, democracy are not common concepts; on the contrary, they are rare. People are not born knowing what these are. It takes enormous and, above all, individual effort to arrive at the respect for other people that these words imply." Ask students to define the terms freedom, justice, and democracy. How did the students derive their own meaning for these words?

Write a complete C++ program to implements a Min-heap.

Each node will contain a single integer data element. Initialize the Min-heap to contain 5 nodes, with the values 8, 12, 24, 32, 42.

The program should allow for the insertion and deletion of nodes while maintaining a Min-Heap.

The program should allow the user to output data in Preorder, Inorder and Postorder.

The program should loop with menu items for each of the above objectives and the choice to quit

Here's the code:
