(Lessee Entries and Balance Sheet Presentation, Capital Lease) Ludwick Steel Company as lessee signed a lease agreement for equipment for 5 years, beginning December 31, 2017. Annual rental payments of \(40,000 are to be made at the beginning of each lease year (December 31). The taxes, insurance, and the maintenance costs are the obligation of the lessee. The interest rate used by the lessor in setting the payment schedule is 9%; Ludwick’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%. Ludwick is unaware of the rate being used by the lessor. At the end of the lease, Ludwick has the option to buy the equipment for \)1, considerably below its estimated fair value at that time. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years, with no salvage value. Ludwick uses the straight-line method of depreciation on similar owned equipment.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the journal entry or entries, with explanations, that should be recorded on December 31, 2017, by Ludwick.

Assume that on January 1, 2017, Kimberly-Clark Corp. signs a 10-year noncancelable lease agreement to lease a storage building from Sheffield Storage Company. The following information pertains to this lease agreement. 1. The agreement requires equal rental payments of \(72,000 beginning on January 1, 2017. 2. The fair value of the building on January 1, 2017, is \)440,000. 3. The building has an estimated economic life of 12 years, with an unguaranteed residual value of \(10,000. Kimberly-Clark depreciates similar buildings on the straight-line method. 4. The lease is nonrenewable. At the termination of the lease, the building reverts to the lessor. 5. Kimberly-Clark’s incremental borrowing rate is 12% per year. The lessor’s implicit rate is not known by Kimberly-Clark. 6. The yearly rental payment includes \)2,471 of executory costs related to taxes on the property.

Instructions

Prepare the journal entries on the lessee’s books to reflect the signing of the lease agreement and to record the payments and expenses related to this lease for the years 2017 and 2018. Kimberly-Clark’s corporate year-end is December 31.

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.
