Question

Federated Fabrications leased a tooling machine on January 1, 2021, for a three-year period ending December 31, 2023. The lease agreement specified annual payments of $48,000 beginning with the first payment at the beginning of the lease, and each December 31 through 2022. The company had the option to purchase the machine on December 30, 2023, for $57,000 when its fair value was expected to be $72,000, a sufficient difference that exercise seems reasonably certain. The machine's estimated useful life was six years with no salvage value. Federated was aware that the lessor’s implicit rate of return was 10%.

Required:
a. Calculate the amount Federated should record as a right-of-use asset and lease liability for this finance lease.
b. Prepare an amortization schedule that describes the pattern of interest expense for Federated over the lease term.
c. Prepare the appropriate entries for Federated from the beginning of the lease through the end of the lease term.

Answer 1

All requirements solved

Step-by-step explanation:

we can calculate the right of use asset and lease liability by determining the present value of all future cash flows and after calculating present values sum them up

Requirement 1: Right of use asset and lease liability

Present value (year 0) = 48,000 / (1+10%)^0 = 48,000

Present value (year 1) = 48,000 x 1/(1+10%)^1

Present value (year 1) = 48,000 x 0.909 = 43,636

Present value (year 2) = 48,000 x 1/(1+10%)^2

Present value (year 2) = 48,000 x 0.826 = 39,670

Present value (year 3) = 57,000 x 1/(1+10%)^3

Present value (year 3) = 57,000 x 0.751 = 42,825

Total present value = 48,000 + 43,636 + 39,670 + 42,825

Total present value = 174,131

Right of use asset and lease liability = 174,131

Requirement 2: Amortization schedule

Date payments effective interest Decrease Outstanding

12/31/23 48,000 5,182 51,818

Requirement 3: Journal entries

Amortization expense = 174,131/6
