1. Determine the price at which the lessor is "selling the asset (present value of the lease payments).
2. What would be the amounts related to the lease that the lessor would report in its income statement for the year ended December 312(Ignore taxes)?

Answer:

1. The price at which the lessor is "selling the asset is $280,000.05.

2. These are the following:

Sales revenue = $280,000.05

Cost of goods sold = $230,000

Interest revenue = $11,373.10

Explanation:

1. Determine the price at which the lessor is "selling the asset (present value of the lease payments).

Since the first payment is at the beginning of the lease, this can be determined using the formula for calculating the present value of an annuity due as follows:

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

Where;

PV = Present value of the lease payments or the price at which the lessor is "selling the asset = ?

P = Annual lease payments = $52,538

r = Interest rate = 5%, or 0.05

n = number of years of the lease term = 6

Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:

PV = $52,538 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.05))^6) / 0.05) * (1 + 0.05)

PV = $280,000.05

Therefore, the price at which the lessor is selling the asset is $280,000.05.

2. What would be the amounts related to the lease that the lessor would report in its income statement for the year ended December 312(Ignore taxes)?

These are the following:

Sales revenue = The price at which the lessor is selling the asset = $280,000.05

Cost of goods sold = $230,000

Interest revenue = (Sales revenue - First annual lease payments) * Interest rate = ($280,000.05 - $52,538) * 5% = $11,373.10

When auditing the existence assertion for an asset, auditors proceed from the: Multiple Choice General ledger back to the supporting original transaction documents. Financial statement amounts back to the potentially unrecorded items. Potentially unrecorded items forward to the financial statement amounts. Supporting original transaction documents to the general ledger.

Statute of frauds is used as a defense to a lawsuit and not as an offense. For example, S owns a lot that B wishes to purchase. They enter into a verbal contract whereby B will deliver $6,000 at noon on Friday to S, and S will provide B with the deed to the property. If either party breaches the contract for the sale of the real estate lot and is sued by the other party, the defendant may raise statute of frauds as a defense, saying that there is nothing in writing or signed by the defendant.
