Question 1 (3 pointsâ30 minutes)
On January 1, 2014, A&O Corp. leases equipment to PVP Company under a
six-year non-cancelable lease agreement. The fair value of the equipment is $700,000
and the cost of equipment to A&O is $600,000. Economic life of the leased equipment is ten years with no residual value and title
to the equipment passes to PVP at the end of the lease. Equal annual payments of 151,421 are due on
December 31 each year. The implicit
interest rate is 8%. Collectibility of
the lease payments is reasonably predictable and there are no additional costs
yet to be incurred by A&O Corp.
