In December 2018, AMBC Bhd increased the operating capacity of its business. Due to a lack of liquid funds AMBC Bhd was unable to buy the required machine which had a cost of RM370,000. On the recommendation of the finance director, on 1 January 2019, AMBC Bhd entered into an agreement to lease the machine from PEDANG Bhd.
The following information relates to this agreement:
1. The term of the non-cancelable lease is 3 years with no renewal option.
2. The fair value of the machine on 1 January 2019 is equal to its cost. The machine has an estimated useful life of 4 years.
3. The agreement requires equal annual rental payments of RM116,000 to PEDANG Bhd, beginning on 31 December 2019.
4. AMBC Bhd has guaranteed a residual value of RM38,500 to PEDANG Bhd.
5. AMBC Bhd's incremental borrowing rate is 5%. PEDANG Bhd's implicit rate is 4% and is known to AMBC Bhd.
The machine has an estimated residual value of RM33,500 at the end of the lease term. Its residual value after 4 years is expected to be only RM12,100. The machine will revert to PEDANG Bhd at the end of the lease term. Both companies depreciates similar assets on a straight-line basis.
