Reynolds Construction (RC) needs a piece of equipment that costs $150,000. The equipment has an economic life of 3 years and no residual value. The equipment will not require maintenance because its useful life is so short. RC can borrow the full cost of the equipment at an interest rate of 7% with payments due at the end of the year. Alternatively, RC can lease the equipment for $55,000 with payments due at the end of the year. Assume RC chooses the lease, which is a finance lease for financial reporting purposes. Answer the following questions. (Hint: See Table 19-1.) What will RC report as an amortization expense at Year 1? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Enter your answer as a positive value. $ What will RC report as the lease liability at Year 1? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Enter your answer as a positive value. $ What will RC report as the right-of-use asset at Year 1? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Your company is currently replacing some of its aging stamping machines. Equipment can be purchased for $300,000; it has a useful life of 10 years and will be depreciated straight-line to zero. After 10 years it can be sold for $25,000. Another option for your company is to lease this Equipment at $36,000 per year. Your company can deduct lease payments as an operating expense when they are paid as this will be an operational lease. Your company borrowing rate is 8% and your tax rate is 25%. Should you lease or purchase equipment? Why?
Nu-Tek is considering leasing some equipment for 4 years with equal annual lease payments. The equipment would cost $74,000 to buy and would be depreciated straight-line over 4 years to a zero-salvage value. The actual salvage value is zero. The applicable pretax borrowing rate is 7.3 percent. The lessee does not expect to owe taxes for several years while the lessor's tax rate is 21 percent. What is the minimum lease payment that will be acceptable to both parties? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round only your final answer up to 2 decimal places, if necessary. Note: Your final answer must be in dollars without the $ sign at the beginning)
ABC Inc. is considering leasing some equipment for 10 years with equal lease payments at the end of each year. The equipment would cost $200,000 to buy and would be depreciated straight-line over 10 years to a zero-salvage value. The applicable cost of debt is 10%. The lessee does not expect to owe taxes for the next 15 years while the lessor's tax rate is 21%. What is the Lessor's minimum acceptable lease payment? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Company C is considering a leasing arrangement for an asset that has no value after its use for 3 years. It can borrow the value of the asset, at a 3-year simple interest loan of 10% with payments at the end of the year and buy the asset, or the company can make 3 equal end-of-year lease payments of $2,100,000 each and lease them. Annual maintenance costs associated with ownership are estimated at $240,000, but this cost would be borne by the lessor if it leases. What is the net advantage to leasing (NAL), if the firm's tax rate is 25%? (round to the nearest integer)(The Depreciation rate is 33.33% for Year 1, 33.33% for Year 2, and 33.33% for Year 3. The value of the asset $4,800,000)
Kohers Inc is considering a leasing arrangement to finance some manufacturing tools that it needs for the next 3 years. The tools will be obsolete and worthless after 3 years. The firm will depreciate the cost of the tools on a straight-line basis over their 3 year life. It can borrow $4,800,000, the purchase price, at 10% and buy the tools, or it can make 3 equal end-of-year lease payments of $2,100,000 each and lease them. The loan obtained from the bank is a 3-year simple interest loan, with interest paid at the end of the year. The firm's tax rate is 40%. Annual maintenance costs associated with ownership are estimated at $240,000 but this cost would be borne by the lessor if it leases. What is the net advantage to leasing(NAL), in thousands? (Suggestion:Delete 3 zeros from dollars and work in thousands)
Paragon Leasing has been approached by Mid-America Trucking Company (MATC) to provide lease financing for a fleet of new tractors. Each tractor will cost $140,000 and will be leased by MATC for 7 years with lease payments made at the beginning of each year. Paragon will depreciate the tractors on a straight-line basis to $0 but the actual market value at the end of 7 years is estimated to be $25,000. What are the required annual beginning-of-year lease payments if Paragon desires to earn a 14% after-tax rate of return? Assume a marginal tax rate of 40%.
Carolina Trucking Company (CTC) is evaluating a potential lease agreement on a truck that costs $40,000 and falls into the MACRS 3-year class. The applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 0.33, 0.45, 0.15, and 0.07. The loan rate would be 10 percent, if CTC decided to borrow money and buy the asset rather than lease it. The truck has a 4-year economic life, and its estimated residual value is $10,000. If CTC buys the truck, it would purchase a maintenance contract that costs $1,000 per year, payable at the end of each year. The lease terms, which include maintenance, call for a $10,000 lease payment at the beginning of each year. CTC’s tax rate is 40 percent. Should the firm lease or buy?
