The payments made under a capital lease are split between interest paid and principal. The latter is charged to cash flow from financing.

The agreement requires equal annual payments of $36,285.90, with the first payment on 1 January 2005. Kachelmeyer’s incremental borrowing rate is 12 percent. Henderson’s implicit rate is 10 percent and is known to Kachelmeyer. The prime rate is 8 percent. The discount rate that Kachelmeyer should use to capitalize the lease is: A) 8%. B) 12%. C) 10%. D) Can choose any of the above rates, as long as Kachelmeyer can justify it to its auditors. The correct answer was C) The lower of the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate or the lessor’s implicit rate, if know to the lessee is used as the discount rate. Hence, 10 percent is the correct answer. The prime rate is inconsequential for this problem.
