Question - Mullen Equipment Company both lease and sell its equipment to its customers. The most popular line of equipment includes a machine that costs $280,000 to manufacture. The standard lease terms provide for five annual payments of $110,000 each (excluding executaory cost), with the first payment due when the lease is signed and subsequent payments due on Dec 31 of each year. The implicit rate of interest in the contract is 10% per year. Walton Tool Co. leases one of these machines on Jan 2, 2011, to obtain the lease. Walton's incremental borrowings rate is determined to be 12%. The equipment is very specialized, and it is assumed it will have no salvage value after 5 years. Assume that the lease qualifies as a capital lease and a sale-type lease for lessee and lessor, respectively. Also assume that both the lessee and the lessor are on a calendar-year basis and that the lesee is aware of the lessor's implicit interest rate.
