  Upon full payment, the trucks become town property. The agreement is based on an interest rate of 7. (The present value of an annuity of 1 for 4 periods at 7 is 3.3872 .) The lease agreement is accounted for in the General Fund.
 
  Required:

Answer to Question 1

(a) Record lease agreement
Expenditures - capital outlay 338,720
Other financing sources - capital leases 338,720

(b) Lease payment at end of first year
Expenditures - capital lease principal 76,289
Expenditures - capital lease interest 23,711
Cash 100,000

(c) Lease payment at end of second year
Expenditures - capital lease principal 81,630
Expenditures - capital lease interest 18,370
Cash 100,000

Note - The present value of the lease is 100,000 x 3.3872 or 338,720 . Interest for the first year is 338,720 x .07 = 23,711; and payment on principal is the difference between the 100,000 cash payment and the interest of 23,711 . After the payment, the outstanding debt is the difference between the original debt of 338,720 and payment of 76,289, or 262,431 . Therefore, the second year's interest is 262,431 x .07= 18,370, and the payment on principal is 81,630 . (This problem could be varied by asking the student to prepare a schedule showing the principal and interest payments for the life of the lease.)

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
