Explanation / Answer

1. The type of lease is direct finance lease in lessor's (Marcos,inc) point of view because of the followng reasons

a) the lessee (Oriental Airlines) has an option to purchase the leased asset for $16,000,000 while the expected fair value on the date of purhase is $27,000,000, so lessee is going to purchase the lease asset for much lower price than its fair value (it is one of the condiitons for finance lease)

b) Most of the asset useful life is under lease with the lessee i.e 8 years lease out of 14 years asset's life

c) All the risks are being born by the lessee

d) the predictability that the payments are collectible with certainity

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Date    Lease Payment Lease Receivable    Recovery    Closing Lease rereceivable

1-1-2018 --    --    --    $68,000,000   

1-1-2018 $9,563,671    0 9,563,671    58,436,329

1-1-2019 9,563,671    4,674,906    4,888,765    53,547,564   

Note: Lease receivable is the rate of return on investment ie 8% to be calculated on closing lease receivable

On 1- 1- 2018, lease receivable is zero as the payment is made in the beginning of the year, so no time period to calculate the return

On 1-1-2019, lease receivable is $ 4,674,906 (ie. 8% of 58,436,329)

Lease Recovery is the difference between Lease payment and Lease receivable

Closing lease receivable is the difference between previous year closing balance and lease recovery of current year

Lease payment = (Cost of the asset - Present value of purchase price of leased asset after 8 years)/PVAF8%, 8yers x (1+r)

   = $68,000,000 - (16,000,000 x PVF8%, 8 years )/ 5.7466 x (1+0.08)

   = $68,000,000 - (16,000,000 x 0.54027)/6.20637

   = $68,000,000 - 8,644,320/6.2067

   = 59,355,680/6.20637 = $9,563,671
