Blossom Leasing Company leases a new machine to Sharrer Corporation. The machine has a cost of $65,000 and fair value of $90,500. Under the 3-year, non-cancelable contract, Sharrer will receive title to the machine at the end of the lease. The machine has a 3-year useful life and no residual value. The lease was signed on January 1, 2020. Blossom expects to earn an 8% return on its investment, and this implicit rate is known by Sharrer. The annual rentals are payable on each December 31, beginning December 31, 2020.

Prepare an amortization schedule that would be suitable for both the lessor and the lessee and that covers all the years involved

Answer:

Note: See the attached excel file for the amortization schedule.

Explanation:

In the attached excel file,since the annual rentals are payable on each December 31, the annual Receipt/Payment is calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value or fair value of the machine = $90,500

P = Annual Receipt/Payment = ?

r = Expected return rate = 8%, or 0.08

n = number of years = 3

Substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for P, we have:

$90,500 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08))^3) / 0.08)

$90,500 = P * 2.57709698724788

P = $90,500 / 2.57709698724788

P = $35,177.03
