79) B
Before entering into the lease, Sandy’s long term debt-to-equity ratio was ($1,700,000 / ($600,000 +
$4,600,000) =) 0.327. The printing press lease is a capital lease because the lease period is at least 75
percent of the asset’s life (8 / 10 > 0.75). The minimum interest rate between the lease’s implicit rate (seven
percent) and the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate (six percent) is used to capitalize the lease. The
present value of the lease payments is (PV annuity N = 8, I / Y = 6, PMT = 1,000) $6,209,794. This amount
is added to the asset side as Net Leased Asset, and to the liabilities and equity side as Lease Liability.
Sandy’s revised long-term debt-to-equity ratio is ($1,700,000 + $6,209,794) / ($600,000 + $4,600,000) =
