Iterest expense and depreciation


On January 1, 2008, Carley Corporation signed a five-year non-cancelable lease for equipment. The terms of the lease called for Carley to make annual payments of $60,000 at the end of each year for five years with title to pass to Carley at the end of this period. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years and no salvage value. Carley uses the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its fixed assets. Carley accordingly accounts for this lease transaction as a capital lease. The minimum lease payments were determined to have a present value of $227,448 at an effective interest rate of 10%.
