On June 30, 2021, Georgia-Atlantic, Inc. leased warehouse equipment from Builders, Inc. The lease agreement calls for Georgia-Atlantic to make semiannual lease payments of $512,709 over a five-year lease term (also the asset’s useful life), payable each June 30 and December 31, with the first payment at June 30, 2021. Georgia-Atlantic's incremental borrowing rate is 12%, the same rate Builders used to calculate lease payment amounts. Builders manufactured the equipment at a cost of $3.5 million. Required:
a. Determine the price at which Builders is "selling" the equipment (present value of the lease payments) at June 30, 2021.
b. What amount related to the lease would Builders report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021 (ignore taxes)?
