A company leased an airplane under the following terms: The lease is a 10-year capital lease The present value of the lease payments discounted at the appropriate interest rate (10%) is $5,000,000 The company uses the straight-line depreciation method. The company does not own the asset or have a purchase option at the end of the lease. In the first year, the reported lease related expense is: A $1,000,000.00 B $500,000.00 C $50,000.00 D $0.00
B
I’m saying A. Isn’t it dep + int expense?
I think it’s A Depreciation = $500,000 per YR interest = $500,000 Total $1,000,000
A it is!

Can you run through the AMORT function…I used to use it and now I have a total brain fart on it.

First based on this information you calculate the FV of the lease payment (you need it in order to use the AMORT function) N=10 PV= 5000000 I/Y=10% Then: 2nd AMORT p1=1 p2=1 and scroll to find PRN boom!
Okay, so if asked for year 2, would p1 and p2 = 2? Those Ps get me for some reason. I always feel like I should put in a range. Thanks!
