FAR Testlet 1
The beginning PC of the lease did not include the PV of the WPO. A written purchase option payment is included as part of the minimum lease payments to be discounted to the date of inception of the lease because it is a future cash flow that is considered certain. When the spreadsheet showed zero at the bottom, Cott, Inc. still was required to make the WPO payment, yet there was no liability left on the books to pay. The $2,000 should have been capitalized as part of the cost of the finance lease.
Cott, Inc. prepared an interest amortization table for a five-year lease payable with a written purchase option of $2,000 which the lessee is reasonable certain to exercise.

Only one error was made on the spreadsheet. Which of the following statements represents the best explanation for this error?
