Lessee and lessor; lessee guaranteed residual value
• LO15–2, LO15–7
On January 1, 2018, Nguyen Electronics leased equipment from Nevels Leasing for a four-year period ending December 31, 2021, at which time possession of the leased asset will revert back to Nevels. The equipment cost Nevels $824,368 and has an expected economic life of five years. Nevels expects the residual value at December 31, 2021, will be $100,000. Negotiations led to the lessee guaranteeing a $140,000 residual value.
Equal payments under the lease are $200,000 and are due on December 31 of each year with the first payment being made on December 31, 2018. Nguyen is aware that Nevels used a 5% interest rate when calculating lease payments.
Required:
1. Prepare the appropriate entries for both Nguyen and Nevels on January 1, 2018, to record the lease.
2. Prepare all appropriate entries for both Nguyen and Nevels on December 31, 2018, related to the lease.
Suppose you take out a five-year car loan for $14000, paying an annual interest rate of 4%. You make
monthly payments of $258 for this loan.

What is the total amount paid in interest over this first year of the loan?
Suppose you take out a five-year car loan
for $12000, paying an annual interest rate
of 3%. You make monthly payments of $216
for this loan.
mocars
Getting started (month 0): Here is how the process works. When you buy the car, right at month 0, you owe
the full $12000. Applying the 3% interest to this (3% is "3 per $100" or "0.03 per $1"), you would owe
0.03*$12000 = $360 for the year. Since this is a monthly loan, we divide this by 12 to find the interest
payment of $30 for the month. You pay $216 for the month, so $30 of your payment goes toward interest
(and is never seen again...), and (216-30) = $186 pays down your loan.
(Month 1): You just paid down $186 off your loan, so you now owe $11814 for the car. Using a similar
process, you would owe 0.03* $11814 = $354.42 for the year, so (dividing by 12), you owe $29.54 in interest
for the month. This means that of your $216 monthly payment, $29.54 goes toward interest and $186.46
pays down your loan.
The values from above are included…
Suppose you have an investment account that earns an annual 9% interest rate, compounded monthly. It
took $500 to open the account, so your opening balance is $500. You choose to make fixed monthly
payments of $230 to the account each month.
