How an acquisition is financed may dictate the annual reported expenditure The Mainor School District is about to establish a 30-machine computer lab. It is considering four alternative means of acquiring and financing the machines: 1. Buy the machines outright; cost will be $60,000. 2. Buy the machines and finance them with a $60,000, three year, 10 percent interest term note. The district will repay the note and pay the entire interest with a single payment of $79,860 when the note matures. 3. Buy the machines and finance them with a $60,000, three-year, 10 percent interest, installment note. The district will repay the note (plus interest) in three end of-year installments of $24,127 each. 4. Lease the equipment structured so that the lease sat- isfies the criteria of a capital lease. The district will make three $24,127 end-of-year lease payments. The district estimates that the equipment has a useful life of three years. a. Prepare a table in which for each alternative you indicate the net expenditure that the district would record in its general fund in the year of purchase and the following two years. Ignore any expenditures that are offset by other financ ing sources." b. Determine the present value (using a discount rate of 10 percent) of the cash payments under each option e. Comment on any incentives that district officials might have either to spread out the payments over the three-year period (either by a lease or borrowing arrangement) or to postpone the full payment until the third year, rather than to pay for the computers entirely in the year of acquisition d. Comment on any significant differences in how the four options would be accounted for in government-wide statements instead of govern- mental fund statements. How would each year's reported expense be determined
