Question 1 is about Leasing. It has two parts. You need to do both. Part A: This will be marked out of 115 and converted to a score out of 10 grade points. Please read the following and then follow the instructions: On 1 July 2013, Rogers Ltd acquired a new motor vehicle. The manager of Rogers Ltd, Sam Richards, went to the local car yard called by the name of Dodgy Motors and discussed a price on a new Mercedes vehicle with the manager Rodney Dodgy. Sam and Rodney agreed on a price of $87,000. In discussing the financial arrangements in relation to the car, Sam decided that a lease with a duration of 3 years was the most suitable commercial arrangement. Rodney agreed to arrange for Leasing Experts, a local finance company, to set up a lease agreement. Dodgy Motors then sold the car to Leasing Experts for $87,000.
 
Leasing Experts then wrote a lease agreement, incurring initial direct costs of $1,812 in the process.
 
The agreement contained the following terms and conditions and was signed by both Sam and Rodney:  $20,000 initial Payment on 1 July 2013.  $20,000 payment of 1 July 2004 and another on 1 July 2015.  Interest rate implicit in the lease of 7%.  The lease was cancellable by Rogers Ltd at any stage. However, if the lease was cancelled, Rogers Ltd agreed to lease, on similar terms, another car from Leasing Experts.  Rogers Ltd was not required to guarantee the payment of any residual value. At the end of the lease term, 30 June 2016, or if cancelled earlier, the car would automatically revert to the lessor with no payments being required from the lessee. The vehicle had an expected economic life of 12 years. On 1 July 2013 the expected fair value of the vehicle at 30 June 2016 was $40,000. Because of concern over the residual value, Leasing Experts required Sam to sign a side letter which gave Leasing Experts the right to sell the car to Rogers Ltd for $30,000 if the fair value of the car at the end of the lease term was less than $30,000. In addition, the parties agreed that Leasing Experts would pay the insurance and maintenance expenses of the vehicle directly to the service vendors and that a flat fee of $3,000 would be invoiced to Rogers Ltd for each year the vehicle was leased, with the first payment due on 1 July 2013. This amount was to be over and above the $20,000 annual lease payment.

 

 
The actual expenses for insurance and maintenance turned out to be as follows
 
 During 2013-14 $2,810
 During 2014-15 $3,020  During 2015-16 $2 750 On 30 June 2016, Sam returned the vehicle to Leasing Experts. The fair value of the car was determined to be $25,000. Leasing Experts invoked the side letter and with the consent of Rogers Ltd sold the car to Dodgy Motors for a price of $25,000 on 5 July 2016. It then invoiced Rogers Ltd $5,000. Rogers Ltd paid this amount on 13 July 2016.
