Answer

For Luv company, it is a capital lease. The following tests are met: Lease payments $18,000
PV of annuity due i=10%, n=5 years 4.16987
It has a bargain-purchase option. Present value of lease payments $75,057.66
Economic test (75%): The lease term (5 years) is greater than 75% than the economic life of the leased equipment (5 years). The economic test in this case is 100%.
Recovery test (90%): The present value of the lease payments (present value annuity factor for n=5 years, i=10% is 4.16987. You can use present value annuity tables to find this factor): Bargain option $4,000
PV of i=10% , n =5 years 0.621
$18,000 (annual lease payment) x 4.16987 (present value annuity factor) = 75,058, which is 107% of the fair value ($75,058 / $70,000 = 107%) Present value of the bargain option $2,484
For Soap Company, because there is a bargain-purchase option and payments are guaranteed without much uncertainty of payment, it is also an operating lease. However, because the fair value of the lease is $70,000, and the present value of the lease payments is $75,000—which is greater than the fair value of $70,000—it is a sales-leaseback lease. Present value of lease payments $75,057.66
Present value of bargain option $2,484
Prepare the amortization schedule for Luv Company for the 5-year term: Total lease liability $77,541.66
