Answer: D) present value of the remaining lease payments.
Explanation:
When recording a capital lease in the balance sheet of the lessee, the amount recorded is the<em> lower amount </em>between the present value of the remaining lease payments or the cost of the leased asset.
As the <em>cost</em> of the leased asset is <em>equal</em> to the <em>initial</em> present value of the payments, the cost will therefore be higher than the current present value of the remaining payments so the appropriate amount to put in the balance sheet will be the current present value of the remaining lease payments.
Solution:
Q MC FC VC TC AFC AVC ATC
0 NA 50 0 50 NA NA NA
1 50 50 50 105 50 50 105
2 19 50 64 104 20 32 52
3 85 40 149 189 13.33 49.67 63.00
4 223 40 372 412 10 93 103
TC=FC+VC
FC=40
VC=TC-FC
MC=change in TC
AFC=FC/Q
AVC=VC/0
ATC=TC/0
a) TC when 0=0 = 40 because FC = 40 remains constant and the firm still incurs a total cost equal to its FC when it produces zero output.
b) MC for first unit = 45
c) ATC of 3rd unit = 63
d) AVC for 4th unit = 93
