An appraiser is looking for comparable sales and finds a property that recently sold for $224, 000. She finds that the buyer was able to assume the seller's fully amortizing mortgage, which had monthly payments based on a 7 percent interest. The balance of the loan at the time of sale was $148, 000 with a remaining term of 15 years (monthly payments). The appraiser determines that if a $148, 000 loan was obtained on the same property, monthly payments at the market rate for a 15-year fully amortizing loan would have been 8 percent with no points. Required: a. Assume that the buyer is expected to benefit from the interest savings on the assumable loan for the entire loan term. What is the cash equivalent value of the property? b. What is the cash equivalent value of the property if you assumed that the buyer is only expected to benefit from interest savings for five years because he would probably sell or refinance after five years?

Grygiel Company leases a nonspecialized machine with a fair 20 value of $50,000 to Baker Company. The lease has a life of 6 years and requires a $10,000 payment at the end of each year. The lease does not include a transfer of ownership nor a bargain purchase option, and life of the lease is less than a major part of the expected economic life of the machine. It is probable at Grygiel will collect lease payments plus any amount necessary to satisfy a residual value guarantee. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. 1. Next Level If the interest rate implicit lease is 10%, compute the machine's expected residual value. 2.

Next Level If the residual value is not guaranteed by Baker but is instead guaranteed by a third party,how would each company classify the lease?

On January 1, 2024, Rick's Pawn Shop leased a truck from Corey Motors for a six-year period with an option to extend the lease for three years. • Rick's had no significant economic incentive as of the beginning of the lease to exercise the three-year extension option. Annual lease payments are $30,000 due on December 31 of each year, calculated by the lessor using a 4% discount rate. The expected useful life of the asset is nine years, and its fair value is $225,000. • Assume that at the beginning of the third year, January 1, 2026, Rick's had made significant improvements to the truck whose cost could be recovered only if it exercises the extension option, creating an expectation that extension of the lease was "reasonably certain." • The relevant interest rate at that time was 5%. Note: Use tables, Excel, or a financial calculator. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) Required: 1.

COL Inc. can either purchase an equipment for $650,000 or lease it from LEN Inc. by making 12 annual lease payments (paid at the beginning of the year) of $89,600.
