Question

At January 1, 2021, Café Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 12 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 $94,113.) Crescent seeks a 12% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be a finance lease. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Required:
1. What will be the effect of the lease on Café Med's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)? (Enter decreases with negative sign.)
2. What will be the balances in the balance sheet accounts related to the lease at the end of the first year for Café Med (ignore taxes)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$11,750

$189,750

Explanation:

1: Calculation for the effect of the lease on Café Med's earnings for the first year

Based on the information given we were told that the lease agreement has annual payments of the amount $29,000 which means that Corporation will recognized a rental revenue of the amount $29,000 each year

Now let Compute for the depreciation to be charged on equipment using this formula

Annual depreciation = Cost of equipment / Useful life

Let plug in the formula

Annual depreciation= $207,000 / 12

Annual depreciation= $17,250

Second step is to Compute for Crescent Effect on earnings using this formula

Crescent Effect on earnings = Rental revenue - Depreciation expense

Let plug in the formula

Crescent Effect on earnings= $29,000 - $17,250

Crescent Effect on earnings= $11,750

2. Calculation for the balances in the balance sheet accounts

Using this formula

Equipment balance at the end of 2021 = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Let plug in the formula

Equipment balance (net) at the end of 2021= $207, 000 - $17, 250

Equipment balance (net) at the end of 2021= $189,750

Deferred lease revenue will be the Rental amounts that was received in advance on 31. DEC.2021 for 2019 year = $29,000
