The present value related to these payments is £3,200,000. Explain how this transaction should be accounted for at January 1, 2022, and at December 31, 2022. Prepare the journal entries to record all appropriate entries related to the ship in 2022. Bruegger uses the straight-line method of depreciation and assumes no residual value for the ship.
