ACC208: Intermediate Financial Accounting:

CCC Ltd is in the business of manufacturing bricks. It has entered into a lease agreement on 1 January 20x1 to lease a standard brick-cutting machine from a leasing company, EEE Ltd, over a non-cancellable lease period of five years commencing 1 January 20x1. Annual lease payments are to be paid at the beginning of each of the five years with the first payment commencing on 1 January 20x1. On 1 January 20x1, the fair value of the machine is $500,000. The machine has a useful life of ten years and no residual value at the end of its useful life. Both companies adopt the cost model and the straight-line depreciation policy with respect to their property, plant and equipment under FRS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. CCC Ltd has an incremental borrowing rate of 9% but knows the interest rate implicit in the lease of 8%. CCC Ltd guarantees EEE Ltd a sum of $210,000, which is the expected residual value, at the end of the lease term.

On 1 January 20x1, CCC Ltd also issues a $10 million 4% convertible bond for $11 million. Assume that the effective interest rate was 6% per annum and that a plain vanilla bond with a face value of $10 million and coupon rate of 4% could be sold for $9 million on the same day. FFF Ltd purchased 10% of the convertible bonds issued by CCC Ltd on 1 January 20x1.
