Required

1. Calculate the present value of the company's operating leases assuming an interest rate of 6%.

Hint - Assume any "thereafter" amount is straight-lined over the remaining lease period using the 5th year (2016) lease payment, with the final year amount as a plug figure to reconcile to the total future minimum lease payments. Use Excel or a financial calculator for your computations. Do not round until your final answer. Round your answer to the nearest million dollars.

2. Restate the company's balance sheet assuming that all operating leases are capitalized. Use Excel or a financial calculator for your computations. Do not round until your final answer for each account balance. Round your answers to the nearest million dollars.
