Question
Sliver Limited leases an equipment from Tesco Limited under the following lease terms.
The lease term is 4 years, non-cancelable and requires equal annual rental payments at the
beginning of each calendar year starting 1 January 2021.
Tesco Limited wants a guarantee that the residual value of the equipment at the end of the lease is
at least $26,000. Sliver Limited agrees to guarantee a residual value of this amount though it expects
the residual value of the equipment to be only $10,000 at the end of the lease term.
The cost of an equipment is $230,000 and the fair value of the equipment is $350,000 on 1 January
2021. The equipment has an economic life of 5 years.
Both companies depreciate all their equipment on a straight-line basis.
Tesco Limited wants to earn a return of 6% on the lease and collectability of the payment is
probable. Sliver Limited's incremental borrowing rate is 8%, and the implicit rate of the lessor is
unknown.
Required: (Round all amounts to the nearest dollar.)
