question 2:

Johnstone Company is facing several decisions regarding investing and financing activities. Address each decision independently. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) 1. On June 30, 2021, the Johnstone Company purchased equipment from Genovese Corp. Johnstone agreed to pay Genovese $30,000 on the purchase date and the balance in five annual installments of $7,000 on each June 30 beginning June 30, 2022. Assuming that an interest rate of 12% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation, at what amount should Johnstone value the equipment? 2. Johnstone needs to accumulate sufficient funds to pay a $600,000 debt that comes due on December 31, 2026. The company will accumulate the funds by making five equal annual deposits to an account paying 8% interest compounded annually. Determine the required annual deposit if the first deposit is made on December 31, 2021. 3. On January 1, 2021, Johnstone leased an office building. Terms of the lease require Johnstone to make 20 annual lease payments of $140,000 beginning on January 1, 2021. A 12% interest rate is implicit in the lease agreement. At what amount should Johnstone record the lease liability on January 1, 2021, before any lease payments are made? Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Machine A could be purchased for $60,500. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $2,100 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $6,050. Machine B could be purchased for $55,000. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $8,400 in year three, $10,500 in year six, and $12,600 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value. Required: Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Ignore income tax considerations. Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
