Answer

Perriman should account for the sale portion of the sale-leaseback transaction.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Meaning of sale-leaseback

When a seller sells an asset to a buyer and subsequently leases it back from the buyer, this is known as a sale and leaseback deal. This arrangement is most prevalent when the seller needs the cash connected with the asset being sold while also requiring the space to be occupied.

02

Explaining the Perriman account for the sale portion of the sale-leaseback transaction on January 1, 2017

On January 1, 2017, Perriman should account for the sale portion of the sale-leaseback transaction by recording cash for the sale price, decreasing equipment at the equipment's undepreciated cost (net carrying amount), and establishing a deferred gain on sale-leaseback for the excess of the equipment's sale price over its undepreciated cost (net carrying amount).

(Lessor and Lessee Accounting and Disclosure) Sylvan Inc. entered into a noncancelable lease arrangement with Breton Leasing Corporation for a certain machine. Breton’s primary business is leasing; it is not a manufacturer or dealer. Sylvan will lease the machine for a period of 3 years, which is 50% of the machine’s economic life. Breton will take possession of the machine at the end of the initial 3-year lease and lease it to another, smaller company that does not need the most current version of the machine. Sylvan does not guarantee any residual value for the machine and will not purchase the machine at the end of the lease term.

Sylvan’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%, and the implicit rate in the lease is 9%. Sylvan has no way of knowing the implicit rate used by Breton. Using either rate, the present value of the minimum lease payments is between 90% and 100% of the fair value of the machine at the date of the lease agreement.

Sylvan has agreed to pay all executory costs directly, and no allowance for these costs is included in the lease payments. Breton is reasonably certain that Sylvan will pay all lease payments. Because Sylvan has agreed to pay all executory costs, there are no important uncertainties regarding costs to be incurred by Breton. Assume that no indirect costs are involved.

Instructions

(a) With respect to Sylvan (the lessee), answer the following.

  1. What type of lease has been entered into? Explain the reason for your answer.

Assume that IBM leased equipment that was carried at a cost of \(150,000 to Sharon Swander Company. The term of the lease is 6 years beginning January 1, 2017, with equal rental payments of \)30,044 at the beginning of each year. All executory costs are paid by Swander directly to third parties. The fair value of the equipment at the inception of the lease is $150,000. The equipment has a useful life of 6 years with no salvage value. The lease has an implicit interest rate of 8%, no bargain-purchase option, and no transfer of title. Collectibility is reasonably assured with no additional cost to be incurred by IBM. Prepare IBM’s January 1, 2017, journal entries at the inception of the lease.

(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

(c) Prepare the journal entry or entries, with explanations, that should be recorded on December 31, 2019, by Ludwick.
