Question: Lessee Entries; Capital Lease with Unguaranteed Residual Value) On January 1, 2017, Burke Corporation signed a 5-year noncancelable lease for a machine. The terms of the lease called for Burke to make annual payments of \(8,668 at the beginning of each year, starting January 1, 2017. The machine has an estimated useful life of 6 years and a \)5,000 unguaranteed residual value. The machine reverts back to the lessor at the end of the lease term. Burke uses the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its plant assets. Burke’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%, and the lessor’s implicit rate is unknown.

Answer

Burke Corporation has a Capital lease.

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Lessee

When a lessor gives the right to use an asset on an agreement to a person known as a lessee. A lessee is not the owner but has the right to use the leased asset and, in return, the lessee makes payments to the lessor.

02

Explaining the type of lease

Burke has a capital lease because the term of the lease (5 years) exceeds 75% of the economic life (6 years) of the leased asset. The lease term is longer (5÷6 ) 831/3% of the economic life of the asset.

Annual lease payment due at the beginning of each year, beginning with October 1, 2017

The collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the costs yet to be incurred by the lessor. The lessee assumes responsibility for all executory costs, which amount to \(5,500 per year and are to be paid each October 1, beginning October 1, 2017. (This \)5,500 is not included in the rental payment of \(62,700.) The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term. The straight-line depreciation method is used for all equipment.

The following amortization schedule has been prepared correctly for use by both the lessor and the lessee in accounting for this lease. The lease is to be accounted for properly as a capital lease by the lessee and as a direct-financing lease by the lessor.

Instructions

(a) Assuming the lessee’s accounting period ends on September 30, answer the following questions with respect to this lease agreement.


(2) What items and amounts will appear on the lessee’s balance sheet at September 30, 2018?

Assume that on January 1, 2017, Elmer’s Restaurants sells a computer system to Liquidity Finance Co. for \(680,000 and immediately leases the computer system back. The relevant information is as follows.

  1. The computer was carried on Elmer’s books at a value of \)600,000.
  2. The term of the noncancelable lease is 10 years; title will transfer to Elmer.
  3. The lease agreement requires equal rental payments of \(110,666.81 at the end of each year.
  4. The incremental borrowing rate for Elmer is 12%. Elmer is aware that Liquidity Finance Co. set the annual rental to ensure a rate of return of 10%.
  5. The computer has a fair value of \)680,000 on January 1, 2017, and an estimated economic life of 10 years.
  6. Elmer pays executory costs of $9,000 per year.

Instructions

Prepare the journal entries for both the lessee and the lessor for 2017 to reflect the sale and leaseback agreement. No uncertainties exist, and collectibility is reasonably certain.

Use the information for Indiana Jones Corporation from BE21-9. Assume that for Lost Ark Company, the lessor, collectibility is reasonably predictable, there are no important uncertainties concerning costs, and the carrying amount of the equipment is \(202,921. Prepare Lost Ark’s January 1, 2017, journal entries.

Indiana Jones Corporation enters into a 6-year lease of equipment on January 1, 2017, which requires 6 annual payments of \)40,000 each, beginning January 1, 2017. In addition, Indiana Jones guarantees the lessor a residual value of $20,000 at lease-end. The equipment has a useful life of 6 years. Prepare Indiana Jones’ January 1, 2017, journal entries assuming an interest rate of 10%.
