Introduction:
Present value of lease payments:
• Leasing is an arrangement between two parties whereby one party known as the lessor, rents goods or right to use goods for a period of time that is predetermined and the other party, known as the lessee, pays a rent called Lease Rent.
• The present value of lease payments is calculated to analyze the cost borne to lease the goods or services and is a calculation of the lease rent paid over the lifetime translated into equivalent costs as if it was paid today.
To Determine:
Present value of lease payments.
Answer to Problem 11BPSB
Solution:
The present value of lease payments is $ 75,816.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Annual Lease Rent = $20,000
Number of years = 5 years
Interest rate = 10% per annum
Formula used:
Calculation:
• The present value is calculated to analyze the cost of leasing the asset and computing its value as if the lease payments were to be made today.
• Usually the fair value of the assets matches the present value of the lease payments, and this is an indicator of whether the lease rent is fair or overvalued.
• The lease rents comprise of interest component and hence while calculating the present value of lease payments, the interest rate is used to discount the lease rent.
Hence the present value of lease rent is computed.

Introduction:
Journal Entries
• Journal entries are the first step in recording financial transactions and preparation of financial statements.
• These represent the impact of the financial transaction and demonstrate the effect on the accounts impacted in the form of debits and credits.
• Assets and expenses have debit balances and Liabilities and Incomes have credit balances and according to the business transaction, the accounts are appropriately debited / credited to reflect the effect of business transactions and events.
To Determine:
Journal entry to record Capital Lease at inception.
Answer to Problem 11BPSB
Solution:
Date | Particulars | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
12.31.XXXX | Office Equipment | 75,816 | |
Lease liability Payable | 75,816 | ||
(Being capital lease on office equipment recorded at inception) |
Explanation of Solution
• The present value of lease payments is recorded as the value of the assets taken on lease. This is the fair value / cost of acquisition of right to use of the assets.
• The lease liability is the present value of lease calculated using the following formula:
• Assets and Expenses have debit balances and must be debited in order to increase their balance and credited in order to decrease their balance.
• Liabilities and Incomes have credit balances and must be debited in order to decrease their balance and credited in order to increase their balance.
• Office equipment is an asset and must be debited in order to establish the asset. Lease liability is a liability and hence must be credited in order to record the liability at inception.
Hence the transaction of recording the capital lease at inception is journalized.

2022 | $ 18,182.21 | $ 1,818.22 | - | $ 20,000.00 | - |
Explanation of Solution
• Beginning Balance of Lease Liability is the present value of the lease payments over the lifetime of the lease agreement. It is computed based on the interest rate and annual lease payments.
• Interest on Lease Liability is computed by calculating the interest rate on the beginning balance of the lease liability outstanding. The interest reduces over time as the principal reduces.
• Reduction of Lease Liability is the difference between the Cash lease payment and the Interest on lease liability. It signifies the principal portion of the lease liability repaid.
• Cash Lease Payment is the annual cash lease rent paid. It consists of both interest and principal.
• Ending Balance of Lease Liability is the difference between the opening balance of the lease liability and the Reduction of Lease Liability. It signifies the principal portion of the lease liability outstanding.
Hence the lease repayment schedule is prepared.

Introduction:
Depreciation
• Depreciation is the expense of wear and tear of assets owing to their usage over the lifetime of the assets. It signifies the reduction in value of assets over the useful life of the asset.
• There are two methods of calculating depreciation Straight line method where the asset is depreciated equally over its useful life.
• The other method is the written down value or reducing balance method, whereby the assets are depreciated over their useful life by a fixed percentage every year calculated on the opening balance.
Journal Entries
• Journal entries are the first step in recording financial transactions and preparation of financial statements.
• These represent the impact of the financial transaction and demonstrate the effect on the accounts impacted in the form of debits and credits.
• Assets and expenses have debit balances and Liabilities and Incomes have credit balances and according to the business transaction, the accounts are appropriately debited / credited to reflect the effect of business transactions and events.
To Determine:
Journal entry to record depreciation of the assets on straight line basis.
Answer to Problem 11BPSB
Solution:
Date | Particulars | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
12.31.2019 | Depreciation Expense | 15,163 | |
Accumulated Depreciation | 15,163 | ||
(Being depreciation expense on office equipment recorded) |
Explanation of Solution
• The present value of lease payments is recorded as the value of the assets taken on lease. This is the fair value / cost of acquisition of right to use of the assets.
• Assets are depreciated over a period of 5 years on a straight line basis. Depreciation is calculated as follows:
• Assets and Expenses have debit balances and must be debited in order to increase their balance and credited in order to decrease their balance.
• Liabilities and Incomes have credit balances and must be debited in order to decrease their balance and credited in order to increase their balance.
• Depreciation Expense is an expense and has a debit balance and must be debited to indicate increase in expense. Accumulated Depreciation is a liability and must be credited to indicate increase in liability.
Hence the transaction to depreciate the assets has been journalized.

- FISH CHIPS INC, PART I LEASE ANALYSIS Martha Millon, financial manager for Fish it Chips Inc., has been asked to perform a lease-versus-buy analysis on a new computer system. The Computer costs 1,200,000, and if it is purchased. Fish Chips could obtain a term loan for the full amount at a 10% cost. The loan would be amortized over the 4-year life of the computer, with payments made at the end of each year The computer is classified as special purpose; hence, it falls into the MACRS 3-year class. The applicable MACRS rates are 33%. 45%. 15%, and 7%. If the computer is purchased, a maintenance contract must be obtained at a cost of 25,000, payable at the beginning of each year. After 4 years, the computer will be sold. Millons best estimate of its residual value at that time is 125,000. Because technology is changing rapidly however, the residual value is uncertain. As an alternative. National Leasing is willing to write a 4-year lease on the computer, including maintenance, for payments of 340,000 at the beginning of each year. Fish 4c Chipss marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. Help Millon conduct her analysis by answering the following questions. a. 1. Why is leasing sometimes referred to as "off-balance-sheet" financing? 2. What is the difference between a capital lease and an operating lease? 3. What effect does leasing have on a firms capital structure? b. 1. What is Fish Chips's present value cost of owning the computer? (Hint: Set up a table whose bottom line is a time line" that shows the cash flows over the period t = 0 to t = 4. Then find the PV of these cash flows, or the PV cost of owning.) 2. Explain the rationale for the discount rate you used to find the PV. c. 1. What is Fish Chipss present value cost of leasing the computer? (Hint: Again, construct a time line.) 2. What is the net advantage to leasing? Does your analysis indicate that the firm should buy or lease the computer? Explain. d. Now assume that Millon believes that the computers residual value could be as low as 0 or as high as 250,000, but she stands by 125,000 as her expected value. She concludes that the residual value is riskier than the other cash flows in the analysis, and she wants to incorporate this differential risk into her analysis. Describe how this can be accomplished. What effect will it have on the lease decision? e. Millon knows that her firm has been considering moving its headquarters to a new location, and she is concerned that these plans may come to fruition prior to the expiration of the lease. If the move occurs, the company would obtain new computers; hence, Millon would like to include a cancellation clause in the lease contract. What effect would a cancellation clause have on the risk of the lease?arrow_forwardLeased Assets Koffman and Sons signed a four-year lease for a forklift on January 1, 2016. Annual lease payments of $1,510, based on an interest rate of 8%, are to be made every December 31, beginning with December 31, 2016. Required Assume that the lease is treated as an operating lease. Will the value of the forklift appear on Koffmans balance sheet? What account will indicate that lease payments have been made? Assume that the lease is treated as a capital lease. Prepare any journal entries needed when the lease is signed. Explain why the value of the leased asset is not recorded at $6,040 (1,5104). Prepare the journal entry to record the first lease payment on December 31, 2016. Calculate the amount of depreciation expense for the year 2016.

The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $216,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 13 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $76,131.) Crescent seeks a 10% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease. Required:1. What will be the effect of the lease on Café Med’s earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?
