The company accountant tells you the asset will be fully depreciated over its useful life and will have zero residual value. You are also told that the machine is integral to a project that management has already decided the company will proceed with. (a) What is the maximum lease payment that the company should be willing to pay? (b) If the lease payment required was greater than the amount documented in (a) what would be your advice to the company?

Referring to PA7 where Kenzie Company purchased a 3-D printer for $450,000, consider how the purchase of the printer impacts not only depreciation expense each year but also the assets book value. What amount will be recorded as depreciation expense each year, and what will the book value be at the end of each year after depreciation is recorded?
Big Sky Mining Company must install 1.5 million of new machinery in its Nevada mine. It can obtain a bank loan for 100% of the purchase price, or it can lease the machinery. Assume that the following facts apply. (1) The machinery falls into the MACRS 3-year class. (2) Under either the lease or the purchase, Big Sky must pay for insurance, property taxes, and maintenance. (3) The firms tax rate is 25%. (4) The loan would have an interest rate of 15%. It would be nonamortizing, with only interest paid at the end of each year for four years and the principal repaid at Year 4. (5) The lease terms call for 400,000 payments at the end of each of the next 4 years. (6) Big Sky Mining has no use for the machine beyond the expiration of the lease, and the machine has an estimated residual value of 250,000 at the end of the 4th year. a. What is the cost of owning? b. What is the cost of leasing? c. What is the NAL of the lease?
Problem: A leasing company is planning to purchase an asset for $15,000 with a 6-year life and assume no salvage value. The company can depreciate the asset over its useful life using a straight-line depreciation method. The company has just issued five-year notes at an interest rate of 10% per year. Tax rate = 21%. Maintenance (and other) costs = $1,350 per year for years 1-4, $2,200 per year for years 5-6. What is the after-tax break-event rent for this lease if payments occur at the beginning of the periods? (Hint: Use an excel sheet to solve this problem. You need to draw the lease cash flow table.)
2. On Sept 30, 2020, ABC acquired a building to earn rent through operating leases. The investment property was initially measured at P20,000,000. It has an estimated useful life of 25 years and a residual value of P400,000. It has a fair value of P22,000,000 and P23,000,000 as of the end of 2020 and 2021 respectively. a. Using the fair value model, what is the carrying value on Dec. 31, 2020? b. Using the fair value model, what is the gain or (loss) from change in fair value?
Company A purchases P200,000 of equipment in year zero. It decides to use straight line depreciation over the expected 20 year life of the equipment. The interest rate is 14%. If its average tax rate is 40%, what is the present worth of the depreciation tax held?
An economic analysis is being performed in real (not actual) dollars. The company’s combined MARR is 10%, and the inflation rate is 4%. The asset has a first cost of $10,000. It will be depreciated as MACRS 3-year property using rates of 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. What depreciation amount will be shown in year 3 of the analysis?
An asset that cost $20,000 and on which depreciation of $15,000 has been recorded is traded in on a new replacement asset. The sales price, also the fair value, of the new asset is $27,000. The owner of the old asset was given an allowance of $7,000 for the old asset and paid $20,000 in cash. For financial accounting purposes, what is the amount of gain or loss recorded? Question 5 options: a. a gain of $2,000 b. no gain or loss c. a loss of $2,000 d. a gain of $7,000
QUESTION 1 Assume a company (lessee) signs a lease for a forklift with the following predicates: Fair value of the forklift is $16,000 Lease term is 3 years Monthly payments of $500/month paid in advance $50 of the monthly payment is related to the maintenance Interest rate a bank would charge this company for a $16,000 loan over 3 years is 4% of the Useful Life of the forklift is 5 years Required: At the end of the lease term, the company can purchase the forklift for $1,000, which is the estimated fair value at the end of the lease
1. Lease or Sell Astro Company owns a equipment with a cost of $365,000 and accumulated depreciation of $52,200 that can be sold for $275,000, less a 4% sales commission. Alternatively, Astro Company can lease the equipment to another company for three years for a total of $285,800, at the end of which there is no residual value. In addition, the repair, insurance, and property tax expense that would be incurred by Astro Company on the equipment would total $16,300 over the three years. 2.
