Solution 15-5:

Requirement 1

Lessor’s Calculation of Rental Payments

   of each of eight quarters:                  ($107,866 ÷ 10.7866**)         $10,000

                                       ** present value of an annuity due of $1: n=12, i=2%

Requirement 2

January 1, 2016

Lease receivable ($10,000 x 12)................................ 120,000
Cost of goods sold (lessor’s cost)............................... 90,000
    Sales revenue (fair market value)........................................ 107,866

                         ($205,542 x 7.49236**)            $1,540,000

                                 ** present value of an annuity due of $1: n=13, i=11%

     The lease meets at least one (actually 3 of 4 in this case) criteria for classification as a capital lease.

January 1, 2016

Cash (given)................................................................       1,540,000
    Helicopter (carrying value).........................................                       1,240,000

Leased helicopter (present value of lease payments)...............       1,540,000

Depreciation expense ($1,540,000 ÷ 15 years*)...............          102,267
    Accumulated depreciation.....................................                        102,267

Deferred gain on sale-leaseback ($300,000 ÷ 20 years).....            15,000
    Depreciation expense ...........................................                          15,000

* The helicopter is depreciated over its remaining useful life rather than the lease term because title transfers to the lessee.
