| isida | executory costs are not included in calculating the PV of the lease payments!!! |
| skonko | why are executory costs excluded in the calculation? |
| mtcfa | What exactly are executory costs? |
| wuyi | Executory Cost: utilities, insurance, maintenance, and taxes included in the periodic payment, but not for the 'leasing' or rental expense. Such costs paid separately to the lessor or to another party, are not executory costs. |
| o123 | ...and it seems these executory costs occur in every period aswell. |
| steved333 | They do occur, but they are separate from the actual lease payment. They would be accounted for in addition to the pmts, and they are a flat pmt, so there is no imputed interest on the executory costs, only the capitalized lease pmts. |
| Gpcurve | n=5 i=8 PMT=115000 PV |
| johntan1979 | So where do executory costs go on Eagle's books? |
| Shaan23 | I made this a bit trickier. Thought the first lease payment was at time = 0 --- that's how the textbook question was and how it would be in most real life scenerios. Annuity due = Annuity Immediate * (1 + i) if the question was like that |
I am using your study notes and I know of at least 5 other friends of mine who used it and passed the exam last Dec. Keep up your great work!
