Rolex Ltd leased a highly specialised machine with a ten- year useful life on January 1, 2020. The lease agreement is for an initial three-year period with the option to extend the lease for a further two years. Based on discussions had with the lessor, the likelihood of exercising the lease extension option is very high. Rolex has agreed to make payments of $7.8 million per year in arrears, a fifth of which relates to annual insurance premiums. The agreement also entails Rolex guaranteeing that the machine will have a residual value of $1.5 million at the end of the lease. The company generally depreciates similar assets using a straight line basis down to the asset's residual value. The incremental borrowing rate is 14%, while the interest rate implied in the lease is two percent lower. On the date of signing the agreement, Rolex received a lease incentive of $500,000 in the form of a cash rebate. Legal fees of $980,000 were incurred for the drafting of the lease agreement.
