The following information pertains to a sale and leaseback

of equipment by Mega Co. on December 31, 2003:

Sales price $400,000

Carrying amount $300,000

Monthly lease payment $3,250

Present value of lease payments $36,900

Estimated remaining life 25 years

Lease term 1 year

Implicit rate 12%

What amount of deferred gain on the sale should Mega report

at December 31, 2003?

a. $0

b. $ 36,900

c. $ 63,100

d. $100,000

 

Can anyone answer to this questionalong with explaination?

I believe, minor portion of asset right has been retained n hence no deferral of gain(entire gain has to be recognized in full immediately)...n hence answer zero.....but answer to this is $100000.

Kindly help!!!

The PV of lease payment is less than 10% of FMV of lease back property. As a result, a full gain of 100,000 is recognized, none is deferred.

The answer is A (zero)
