Question

On June 30, 2021, Georgia-Atlantic, Inc. leased a warehouse equipment from IC Leasing Corporation. The lease agreement calls for Georgia-Atlantic to make semiannual lease payments of $468,683 over a five-year lease term, payable each June 30 and December 31, with the first payment at June 30, 2021. Georgia-Atlantic's incremental borrowing rate is 10%, the same rate IC uses to calculate lease payment amounts. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis at the end of each fiscal year. The fair value of the equipment is $3.8 million.
Required:
a. Determine the present value of the lease payments at June 30, 2021 that Georgia-Atlantic uses to record the right-of-use asset and lease liability.
b. What pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021

Answer 1

Answer:

1. $3,799,988

2. $3,419,989

Explanation:

1. Semiannual lease payment = $468,683

Total semiannual payments = 5*2 = 10

Incremental borrowing rate = 10%, 5% semiannual

Present value of minimum lease payments used to record right to use assets = Semi Annual lease payments * Cumulative PV Factor of annuity due for 10 periods at 5%

= $468,683 * 8.1078 = $3,799,988.0274 ≈ $3,799,988

2. Semiannual payment on 30.06.2021 = $468,683

Pretax amount of liability on 30.06.2021 = ($ 3,799,988.0274 - $468,683) = $3,331,305.0274

Interest expense for 31.12.2021 = $3,331,305.0274 * 5% = $166,565.25137

Semiannual lease payment on 31.12.2021 = $468,683

Pre tax amount for liability December 31, 2021 = $3,331,305.0274 + $166,565.25137 - $468,683 = $3,029,187.2788

Depreciation on right to use assets for 2021 = ($3,799,988.0274 ÷ 5) * (5/10)= $379,998.80274

Pre tax amount of right to use asset to be reported for 2021 = $3,799,988.0274 - $379,998.80274 = $3,419,989.2247 ≈ $3,419,989
