Essay

To raise operating funds, Combs Corporation sold a piece of equipment on January 1, 2009, to a finance company for $600,000. Combs immediately leased the equipment back for a 10-year period. After that time ownership will transfer to Combs. The equipment has a fair value of $624,000. Its cost and its carrying value were $480,000. Its useful life is 12 years.

The appropriate interest rate is 7%. The present value of an annuity due of $1 for 10 years at 7% is 7.5
