Question 3

On January 1, 2014, Bensen Company leased equipment to Flynn Corporation. The following information pertains to this lease. The term of the noncancelable lease is 6 years, with no renewal option. The equipment reverts to the lessor at the termination of the lease. Equal rental payments are due on January 1 of each year, beginning in 2014. The fair value of the equipment on January 1, 2014, is $192,900, and its cost is $148,533. The equipment has an economic life of 8 years, with an unguaranteed residual value of $11,270. Flynn depreciates ail of its equipment on a straight-line basis. Bensen set the annual rental to ensure an 10% rate of return. Flynn's incremental borrowing rate is 11%, and the implicit rate of the lessor is unknown. Collectibility of lease payments is reasonably predictable, and no important uncertainties surround the amount of costs yet to be incurred by the lessor. (Both the lessor and the lessee's accounting period ends on December 31.)

Explanation / Answer

1)

Amount of annual rental payment =( Fair Value - PV of Unguaranted Residual Value)/PVA Factor (10%,6)

Amount of annual rental payment = (192900-11270*0.56447)/4.79079

Amount of annual rental payment = 38,937
