$20,000 for twenty years beginning on December 31, 2004. The interest rate on the lease is 10%. 
Assume the lease qualifies as a capital lease. 

 1. Calculate the amount of the lease liability at December 31, 2005 that would be classified as a current liability.
2. Calculate the balance in the lease liability account on december 31, 2005 after the second lease payment is made.  

 Thank you! 

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Present value of lease payment as on Dec. 31, 2004:

= Annual Lease payment * PVAF (10%, 20 Years)

= $20000 * 8.5136 = $170272

Interest Expense for year 1 = 170272 *10% = 17027.2

Current lease liability for year 2014 = $20000
