Compute the present value of the minimum lease payments


Problem

Bridgeport Leasing Company agrees to lease machinery to Indigo Corporation on January 1, 2017. The following information relates to the lease agreement.

1. The term of the lease is 7 years with no renewal option, and the machinery has an estimated economic life of 9 years.

2. The cost of the machinery is $502,000, and the fair value of the asset on January 1, 2017, is $739,000.

3. At the end of the lease term, the asset reverts to the lessor and has a guaranteed residual value of $102,000. Indigo depreciates all of its equipment on a straight-line basis.

4. The lease agreement requires equal annual rental payments, beginning on January 1, 2017.

5. The collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the amount of costs yet to be incurred by the lessor.

6. Bridgeport desires a 11% rate of return on its investments. Indigo's incremental borrowing rate is 12%, and the lessor's implicit rate is unknown.

Calculate the amount of the annual rental payment required. (Round present value factor calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and the final answer to 0 decimal places e.g. 58,971.)

Compute the present value of the minimum lease payments. (Round present value factor calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and the final answer to 0 decimal places e.g. 58,971.)
