Stone Company is facing several decisions regarding investing and financing activities. Address each decision independently.

On June $30,2024,$ the Stone Company purchased equipment from Paper Corporation. Stone agreed to pay $$28,000$ on the purchase date and the balance in five annual installments of $$5,000$ on each June $30$ beginning June $30,2025.$ Assuming that an interest rate of $10\%$ properly reflects the time value of money in this situation, at what amount should Stone value the equipment?

Stone needs to accumulate sufficient funds to pay a $$580,000$ debt that comes due on December $31,2029.$ The company will accumulate the funds by making five equal annual deposits to an account paying $5\%$ interest compounded annually. Determine the required annual deposit if the first deposit is made on December $31,2024.$

On January $1,2024,$ Stone leased an office building. Terms of the lease require Stone to make $10$ annual lease payments of $$138,000$ beginning on January $1,2024.$ A $10\%$ interest rate is implicit in the lease agreement. At what amount should Stone record the lease liability on January $1,2024,$ before any lease payments are made?
