1. From 415 F02 Assume that you are working for a leasing company. The boss asks you to compute the annual lease payment that the company should charge to earn a 12% return on the following lease: Fair market value of leased asset $100,000. The first payment on the lease will be made immediately. The lease term is 5 years. The property should be worth 30,000 at the end of the lease but the lessee can buy it for $15,000. [15 points]

2. from 1992 302 exam Standard Corporation wants to accumulate $500,000 on December 31, Year 10 to retire preferred stock. The company deposits $125,000 in a savings account on January 1, Year 1 which will earn interest at 8% compounded quarterly. Standard Corporation wants to know what additional amount it has to deposit at the end of each quarter for 10 years to have $500,000 available at the end of Year 10. The periodic deposits will also earn interest at 8% compounded quarterly. [15 points]


3. Gleim #: 14.1.30 -- Source: CPA 592 I-34 from Exam 2 F04 Acct415
Lease accounting [10 points]. Law Co. leased a machine from Order Co. The lease qualifies as a capital lease and requires 10 annual payments of $10,000 with the first payment to be made upon signing the lease. The lease specifies an interest rate of 12% and a purchase option of $5,000 at the end of the tenth year, even though the machine's estimated value on that date is $20,000. The fair value of the machine is $66,500 at the inception of the lease. Law's incremental borrowing rate is 14%. What amount should Law record as the leased asset at the beginning of the lease term?

4. from 415 f05 Troubled debt restructuring. [20 points] A debtor owes $50,000 plus $5,000 in accrued interest on a note payable. The original interest rate on the loan was 10%. The debtor is unable to make any payments toward principal or interest at this time. The creditor agrees to modify the terms of the agreement as follows: (1) The total amount due is reduced to $40,000. (2) The interest rate on the debt will be lowered to 8%. (3) The term of the restructured debt is four years with interest only due during the first three years. Principal and interest will be due at the end of the fourth year. Compute the creditor’s LOSS from this troubled debt restructuring.


5. Modified Problem from 1996 302 exam Troubled debt restructuring. [30 points]
Colfax Combines (CC) had signed a $100,000 note to Pullman First Bank and Trust (PFBT). The note specified annual payments of $20,000 per year plus 12% interest on the unpaid balance. Colfax Combines finds itself unable to make its loan payments. The bank has agreed to restructure the terms of the loan. The balance due at October 1, 2006, the date of the troubled debt restructuring, was $100,000 plus $12,000 in unpaid accrued interest. The new agreement specifies an interest rate of 10% on a reduced principal balance of $80,000. The debtor will pay interest only for 4 years. On October 1, 2011, the entire principal balance will be due with the final interest payment.

Required: Prepare any necessary journal entries for Colfax Combines (debtor) for 2006 including year end accruals at December 31, 2006.

The coupon rate is 10% per annum. An investment banker handled the transaction and you have just received a check for $1,840,669. (Hint: If you decide to use the effective interest method, the effective simple interest rate per year is either 8% or 14%.)

SOLUTIONS

[1] Annuity due, n=5, i=12%, PV = -100,000 (negative), FV = 15,000 (positive), PMT= 22,660.56

[2] Ordinary annuity, n=40 quarters, i=2%, PV=125,000, FV=(500,000), solve for PMT = 3,708.41

[3] annuity due, n=10, PMT=10,000, FV=5,000 , i=12% (lower of two rates since both are known)
Solve for PV= $64,892.36

[4] Step 1 – find PV of cash flows under new terms using historical interest rate:
ordinary annuity, n=4, i=10%, PMT=3200, FV=40,000, PV=37,464.11.
Step 2 – the loss is the difference between carrying value ($55,000) and the PV computed in step 1:
$55,000 - $37,464 = $17,536

[5] Debtor accounting. The carrying value of the debt is $112,000. The total future cash flows is only $120,000 (80,000 + [80,000 * .10]*5). Therefore, the difference will be recognized as interest expense over the 5 years of the new term and no gain will be recognized. The interest rate is found on a financial calculator: PV=(112,000), PMT=8,000, FV=80,000, n=5, solve for interest = 1.61%

10/1/06 (to reorganize accounts)
Note payable (old) 100,000
Accrued interest payable 12,000
Note payable - restructured 112,000

12/31/06 (end of fiscal year)
Interest expense ($112,000 * 1.61% * 3/12) 451
Note payable – restructured 451

[6a] From 1996 302 exam Essay: There is no title transfer or bargain purchase option, and the lease term is only 71% of economic life. The residual value is not guaranteed and is therefore irrelevant to the lessee. The present value of the minimum lease payment is 96% of fair market value (429,801 > 405,000). Therefore, the lessee has a capital lease. The lessor uses a different interest rate to find the present value of the minimum lease payments but $437,001 is 97% of fair market value so the lessor meets one of the four necessary criteria. The lessor has a direct financing lease because the two extra criteria for lessors (collectibility and no cost uncertainties) are met and there is no dealer or manufacturers profit since the cost of the leased asset is equal to its fair market value.
