Question

Short Company purchased land by paying $11,000 cash on the purchase date and agreed to pay $11,000 for each of the next six years beginning one-year from the purchase date. Short's incremental borrowing rate is 7%. On the balance sheet as of the purchase date, after the initial $11,000 payment was made, the liability reported is closest to: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Answer 1

Answer: $‭52,431.5‬0

Explanation:

The liability reported will be the present value of the six payments of $11,000.

Since this is a constant amount, it will be an annuity:

= 11,000 * Present value interest factor of an annuity, 6 years, 7%

= 11,000 * 4.7665

= $‭52,431.5‬0

Any difference between this and any options given is down to rounding errors. Pick the closest figure.
