Answer 1

Answer:

$89,350

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the outstanding balance of the lease liability in Lone Star's December 31, 2018, balance sheet

First step is to calculate the Balance after first payment

Initial lease liability $130,000

Less: First payment $23,000

Balance after first payment $107,000

Second step is to calculate the Interest expense for June 30,2021

Interest expense for June 30,2021= $107,000*5%

Interest expense for June 30,2021=$5,350

Third step is to calculate the Principal payment for June 30,2021

Principal payment for June 30,2021=$23,000-$5,350

Principal payment for June 30,2021=$17,650

Now let calculate the Outstanding balance on June

Balance after first payment. $107,000

Less: Principal payment for June $17,650

Outstanding balance on June $89,350

Therefore the outstanding balance of the lease liability in Lone Star's December 31, 2018, balance sheet is $89,350
