No8: Link leased construction equipment under a 7-year capital lease requiring annual year-end payments of $100.000.Link's incremental borrowing rate is 9%,while the lessor's implicit rate,which is not known to Link,is 8%.Present value factors for an ordinary annuity for seven periods are 5.21 at 8% and5.03 at 9%. Fair value of the equipment is $515.000.

 

  What amount should Robbins records as lease obligation at the beginning of the lease term?

 

  解题思路:这题的关键在于是使用Interest rate应该使用8%还是9%的问题,书上给的公式是 Uses the lower(lesser)of the ①Rate implicit in the lease(if known) or②Lessee's incremental borrowing rate(the rate available in the market to the lessee(not prime))  注意If known. 而题目里,while the lessor's implicit rate,which is not known to Link,is 8%.  很明显,不符合定义要求, 所以还是要使用9%的数据

 

  解答: 100.000 × 5.03=$503.000

 

  Present value of minimum lease payment 作为资产以及负债科目记录,并且不可超过租赁资产的公允价值。

 

  $503.000<$515.000

 

  ∴答案是 $503.000
