Basic Finance and Accounting

Finance The gross amount for property and equipment is $777,739. The net amount for property and equipment is $484,641. The gross amount for assets acquired under capital leases is $3,612. The net amount for assets acquired under capital leases is $1,600 The amount for capital leases is not material. It represents less than 1% of total debt obligations. The Westinghouse bonds are worth $1,520,674, and the capital lease obligation is only $400, so the capital lease obligation is not material for the total debt. The total minimum future lease payment is $359,382 as at 2010.

The principal, using the 2/3 rule, would be $239,587. The operating leases are very much material compared to the capital leases. The capital leases are less than 1% of the total leases.
