Kingbird Company is negotiating to lease a piece of equipment to MTBA, Inc. MTBA requests that the lease be for 9 years. The equipment has a useful life of 10 years. Kingbird wants a guarantee that the residual value of the equipment at the end of the lease is at least $4,000. MTBA agrees to guarantee a residual value of this amount though it expects the residual value of the equipment to be only $2,000 at the end of the lease term. If the fair value of the equipment at lease commencement is $60,000, what would be the amount of the annual rental payments Kingbird demands of MTBA, assuming each payment will be made at the beginning of each year and Kingbird wishes to earn a rate of return on the lease of 6%? (

Answer:

$ 7,994

Explanation:

Fair Value of lease 60,000

Less Present value of garanteed residual value$ 2,368

($4000*1/1.06^9)

Amount to be recovered through periodic payment $ 57,632

PVAD (9 years ,6%) 7.20979

Minimum Lease at the beginning of each year (C/D) $ 7,994

Therefore the amount of the annual rental payments Kingbird demands of MTBA, assuming each payment will be made at the beginning of each year and Kingbird wishes to earn a rate of return on the lease of 6 $7,994
