Question

Short Company purchased land by paying $22,000 cash on the purchase date and agreed to pay $22,000 for each of the next seven years beginning one-year from the purchase date. Short's incremental borrowing rate is 10%. On the balance sheet as of the purchase date, after the initial $22,000 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

The liability reported is closest to $107,105.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value or the the liability reported =?

P = Annuity payment = $22,000

r = Student's desired return rate = 10%, or 0.10

n = number of years = 7

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $22,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^7) / 0.10)

PV = $22,000 * 4.86841881769293

PV = $107,105.21

Therefore, the liability reported is closest to $107,105.21.
