Question 226

On January 2, 2002, Heather Ltd. signed a ten-year noncancelable lease for a passenger ferry. The lease stipulated annual payments of $70,000 starting at the end of the first year, with title passing to
Heather at the expiration of the lease. Heather treated this transaction as a capital lease.
The ferry has an estimated useful life of 15 years, with no residual value. Heather uses straight-line amortization for all of its capital assets. Aggregate lease payments were determined to have a present value of $420,000, based on implicit interest of 10%.
In its 2002 income statement, what amount of amortization expense should Heather report from this lease transaction?

  • Question 228

    Agency Rent-A-Car reports cash flows from acquisitions and sales of Rental Automobiles (RA) as investing activities. It provides an unclassified balance sheet, with RA reported under Property and
    Equipment and amounting to at least 49% of total assets in 2010; car rentals are 77% of total revenue.
    Net cash received on RA transactions of $5.751 million ($68.96 million realized on sales less $63.21 million spent on purchases) is highly material to Agency's net $9.06 million investing cash outflow, less so to the $83.15 million reported operating cash flow. Agency's rental fleet turns over about every other year.
    The predominance of rental revenues and low RA turnover supports investing activity classification. The classification has a material effect on reported operating cash flow and investing cash flow. Reclassifying
    Agency's $5.75 million RA net cash inflow from investing to operating will ______ its net investing cash flow by 63% percent while ______ operating cash flow by 7%.
