Explanation / Answer

a. PV of lease obligations = $108 million

Explanations: PV @ 11%, 15 years = 7.191

Present value of lease payments = $15,000,000 * 7.191 = $107,865,000 or $108 million rounded.

b. Revised balance sheet

c. Asset Ratio:

Original:

Total debt = $55 million

Total asset = $150 million

Original Asset Ratio = $55 / $150 * 100 = 36.67%

Revised:

Total debt = $163 million

Total asset = $258 million

Revised Asset ratio = $163 / $258 * 100 = 63.18%

Equity Ratio:

Original:

Total debt = $55 million

Total equity = $95 million

Original Equity ratio = $55 / $95 * 100 = 57.89%

Revised:

Total debt = $163 million

Total equity = $95 million

Revised Equity ratio = $163 / $95 * 100 = 171.58%

Balance Sheet (In $ millions) Current Assets 75 Current Liabilities 35 Fixed Assets 75 Long term liabilities 20 Leased property under capital lease 108 Obligations under capital lease 108 Total Liabilities 163 Stockholder's equity 95 Total Assets 258 Total liabilities and Stockholder's equity 258
