Sondheim Ltd. entered into a lease with New Age Leasing Corp. The lease is for new specialized factory equipment that has a fair value of $3,362,000. The expected useful life of the equipment is 10 years, although its physical life is far greater. The initial lease term begins on 1 April 2012 and runs for 10 years. Annual lease payments are $398,000, payable at the beginning of each lease year. After the initial lease term, Sondheim has the option of renewing the lease on a year-by-year basis for as long as Sondheim wishes. Since the equipment will be obsolete by that time, the renewal is set at $8,000 per year, which is expected to be a fair rental value for equipment of that age. Other information is as follows: (Round intermediate calculations and final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

a) The interest rate implicit in the lease is 5%; Sondheims incremental borrowing rate is 4%.

b) Sondheim will amortize the equipment on a straight-line basis over the lease term and has a 31 December fiscal year-end.

c)Assume that Sondheim is a private enterprise that has chosen to use ASPE.
