On June 30, 2021, Georgia-Atlantic, Inc. leased warehouse equipment from IC Leasing Corporation. The lease agreement calls for Georgia-Atlantic to make semiannual lease payments of $562,907 over a three-year lease term, payable each June 30 and December 31, with the first payment at June 30, 2021. Georgia-Atlantic's incremental borrowing rate is 10%, the same rate IC uses to calculate lease payment amounts. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis at the end of each fiscal year. The fair value of the equipment is $3 million.

Required:
a. Determine the present value of the lease payments at June 30, 2021 that Georgia-Atlantic uses to record the right-of-use asset and lease liability.
b. What pretax amounts related to the lease would Georgia-Atlantic report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021

Answer:

1. $3,000,000

2. Liability $1,996,041

Asset$2,500,000

Explanation:

1. Calculation to Determine the present value of the lease payments at June 30, 2021

Present value of lease payments will be calculated as : $562,907 × 5.32948

(Present value of an annuity due of $1:

n = 6, i = 5% is 5.32948)

Present value of lease payments = $3,000,000

Therefore the Present value of lease payments will be $3,000,000

2. Calculation to Determine the pretax amounts related to the lease that Georgia-Atlantic would report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021

Liability at December 31, 2021

Initial balance, June 30, 2021 3,000,000

June 30, 2021 Reduction(562,907)

Dec. 31, 2021 reduction (441052)

[562,907-(3,000,000-562,907)*5%]

December 31, 2021 NET LIABILITY $1,996,041

ASSETS at December 31, 2021

Initial balance, June 30, 2021 3,000,000

Accumulated depreciation at Dec. 31, 2021 (500,000)

(3000000/3*1/2)

December 31, 2021 ASSETS $2,500,000

Therefore the pretax amounts related to the lease that Georgia-Atlantic would report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021 will be : Liability $1,996,041

Asset$2,500,000

Definition of economic costs
Darnell lives in Philadelphia and runs a business that sells pianos. In an average year, he receives $842,000 from selling pianos. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $452,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $38,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Darnell does not operate this piano business, he can work as an accountant and receive an annual salary of $48,000 with no additional monetary costs. No other costs are incurred in running this piano business.
Identify each of Darnell's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling pianos.

Mattola Company is giving each of its employees a holiday bonus of $200 on December 13, 20-- (a nonpayday). The company wants each employee's check to be $200. The supplemental tax percent is used.


Nobody has capped for OASDI prior to the bonus check.


a. What will be the gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% (besides the other payroll taxes)? You may need to add one penny to the gross so that net bonus exactly equals $200. Round your calculations and final answers to the nearest cent.

The Titanic Shipbuilding Company has a noncancelable contract to build a small cargo vessel. Construction involves a cash outlay of $273,000 at the end of each of the next two years. At the end of the third year the company will receive payment of $650,000. Assume the IRR of this option exceeds the cost of capital. The company can speed up construction by working an extra shift. In this case there will be a cash outlay of $595,000 at the end of the first year followed by a cash payment of $650,000 at the end of the second year. Use the IRR rule to show the (approximate) range of opportunity costs of capital at which the company should work the extra shift.

The company should work the extra shift if the cost of capital is between ___________ % and ___________ %

Many assets provide a series of cash inflows over time; and many obligations require a series of payments. When the payments are equal and are made at fixed intervals, the series is an annuity. There are three types of annuities: (1) __________ (2)_________, and (3) __________-. One can find an annuity's future and present values, the interest rate built into annuity contracts, and the length of time it takes to reach a financial goal using an annuity.
