On January 2, 2008, Lexmark leased color-laser printers costing $450,000

1. On January 2, 2008, Lexmark leased color-laser printers costing $450,000 to Toyota for 3 years in
a non-cancellable term. The rental cost was $180,000 payable in advance on January 2 each year,
plus $3,000 annual executory-cost. At the end of the lease-term, Toyota can exercise a bargain
purchase option (BPO) of $40,000 for the printers. The estimated economic life is 5 years. The
salvage value will be $5,000 at the end of the economic life. Lexmark normally sells the same
laser printers to its customers for $575,000 cash. The implicit interest rate is 5 percent. This rate
is the same as the incremental borrowing rate for Toyota. Since Lexmark is in the business of
selling and financing printers, any lease contracts that are qualified for capital leases must be
classified as sales-type leases. Toyota is financial strong; it will fulfill any contractual
agreements. There are no hidden costs or surprises over the life of the lease-term.
