Business
1 answer:
Aliun [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Reliability over relevance

Explanation:

The historical cost principle states that assets must be recorded at purchase cost, disregarding any change in their market value. E.g. you purchased a land lot 10 years ago for $100,000 and now it is worth $500,000. It must be recorded at $100,000 since that was its original purchase cost.

Accounting tries to be as exact as possible, and if the carrying values started to change every period or even month by month because the accountant believed that the market value changed, then it would be a mess. Accountancy is not supposed to be a game of guessing, it is supposed to be as exact and reliable as possible.

Assume that on December 31, 2019, Kimberly-Clark Corp. signs a 10-year, non-cancelable lease agreement to lease a storage buildi
Anika [276]

Answer:

a) the journal entry to record the signing of the lease agreement:

December 31, 2019, lease agreement signed

Dr Right of use 483,360

   Cr Lease liability 483,360

the lease liability must record the present value of the 10 annual lease payments: $68,099 and 8% discount rate:

present value of an annuity due = payment + {payment x [1 - (1 + r)⁻⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾]/r}

  • payment = 66,699
  • r = 8%
  • n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

PV annuity due = 66,699 + {66,699 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = 66,699 + 416,661 = $483,360

the journal entries to record the annual lease payments:

December 31, 2019, first annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 66,699

   Cr Cash 66,699

December 31, 2020, second annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 33,366

Dr Interest expense 33,333

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $416,661 x 8% = $33,333

December 31, 2020, depreciation expense

Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

December 31, 2021, third annual lease payment

Dr Lease liability 36,035

Dr Interest expense 30,664

   Cr Cash 66,699

interest expense = $383,295 x 8% = $30,664

December 31, 2021, depreciation expense

 Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 48,336

   Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 48,336

b) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= -$5,000 + $1,000 = $4,000

c) this would increase the right to use asset and lease liability by:

= 5,000 + {5,000 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁻⁹]/0.08} = $36,234
