(a) A property lease includes a requirement that the premises are to be repainted every five years and the future cost is estimated at $100,000. The lessee prefers to spread the cost over the five years by charging $$20,000 against profits each year. Thereby creating a provision of $100,000 in five years’ time and affecting profits equally each year. Requirement: Was it correct for the lessee to provide for this cost? Explain your decision (b) A retail store has a policy of refunding purchases by dissatisfied customers, even though it is under no legal obligation. Its policy of making refunds is generally known. Requirements: Should a provision be made at year end

Suppose that in addition to the $67,299 annual rental payments, Kimberly-Clark is also required to pay $5,000 for insurance costs each year on the building directly to the lessor, Sheffield Storage. How would this executory cost affect the initial measurement of the lease liability and right-of-use asset?
1) Turquoise Inc. leased a large machine from Teal Co for four years. The lease contract provided that at the end of the term of the lease Turquoise may opt to purchase the machine for an amount significantly less than its fair value to be, and it is highly probable that Turquoise would purchase it. The machine is estimated to have two additional years of economic use after the purchase. How would Turquoise figure how much to amortize its right-of-use asset? A Lease expense minus interest on the initial carrying value of the lease liability B Lease expense minus interest on the current carrying value of the lease liability C Initial carrying value of the lease liability divided by six years D Initial carrying value of the lease liability divided by four years 2) As of December 31, 2024, Maroon Inc. had 50,000 shares of its common stock outstanding and reported net income for the year $350,000.

Use the following Information for the following question. On January 1, 2021, Yancey, Inc. signs a 10-year noncancelable lease agreement to lease a storage building from Holt Warehouse Company. Collectibility of lease payments is reasonably predictable and no important uncertainties surround the amount of costs yet to be incurred by the lessor. The following Information pertains to this lesse agreement. (a) The agreement requires equal rental payments at the beginning each year. (b) The fair value of the building on January 1, 2021 is $6,000,000; however, the book value to Holt is $4,950,000. (c) The building has an estimated economic life of 10 years, with no residual value. Yancey depreciates similar buildings using the straight-line method. (d) At the termination of the lease, the title to the building will be transferred to the lessee. (e) Yancey's incremental borrowing rate is 11% per year. Holt Warehouse Co. set the annual rental to insure a 10% rate of return. The implicit rate…

Rent will be $32 per square foot each year with the lessor responsible for payment of all operating expenses.

An owner of the ATRIUM Tower Office Building is currently negotiating a five-year lease with ACME Consolidated Corporation for 20,000 rentable square feet of office space. ACME would like a base rent of $17 per square foot with step-ups of $1 per year beginning one year from now. Required: a. What is the present value of cash flows to ATRIUM under the above lease terms? (Assume a 10 percent discount rate.) b. The owner of ATRIUM believes that the base rent of $17 per square foot in (a) is too low and wants to raise that amount to $21 with the same $1 step-ups. However, now ATRIUM would provide ACME a $51,400 moving allowance and $114,000 in tenant Improvements (TIS). What would be the net present value of this alternative to ATRIUM? c. ACME Informs ATRIUM that it is willing to consider a $20 per square foot with the $1 annual step-ups. However, under this proposal, ACME would require ATRIUM to buyout the one year remaining on its existing lease in another building. That lease is $12…

Burns, Inc. (lessor) agreed to lease a delivery van to Wilmore Corp. (lessee). The lease was classified as a finance/sales-type lease, but the van will be turned back over to Burns at the end of six years. Which of the following is true regarding the proper treatment of the delivery van's estimated residual value? Multiple Choice In a lease that includes selling profit, the lessor will add the present value of the estimated residual value to sales revenue in the initial entry. U In establishing the initial lease payable, Wilmore will include the present value of the full estimated residual value, but only if it is guaranteed. Estimated residual values are ignored by both parties when initially recording a lease. In calculating the required lease payments, Burns will consider the estimated residual value regardless of whether it is guaranteed or unguaranteed by Wilmore.
