66shahir10y ago
Owl Co Leases an asset under a finance lease. The lease has primary period of 5 yrs and a secondary period of 2 yrs during which a nominal rental will be payable. The asset has an estimated useful life of 6 yrs and a currrent cash value of $89k. The PV of the minimum lease payment is $87k. What is the CV of the asset at the end of the second yr of the lease? Based on the steps pf my lecturer 1) FV-89000 2) MLPayment-87k 3) interest in supense- 87k-89k cant be nah?********* First doubt over here. Secondly lease asset must be depreciated over lease period ryt, kaplan answer is wrong I think???

Heaven knows what "Interest in suspense" is! I would depreciate over shorter of lease term and useful life - I would depreciate over 5 years
