Chapter 21: Q10P_a(1) (page 1248)

(Lessor Computations and Entries, Sales-Type Lease with Unguaranteed Residual Value) George Company manufactures a check-in kiosk with an estimated economic life of 12 years and leases it to National Airlines for a period of 10 years. The normal selling price of the equipment is \(278,072, and its unguaranteed residual value at the end of the lease term is estimated to be \)20,000. National will pay annual payments of \(40,000 at the beginning of each year and all maintenance, insurance, and taxes. George incurred costs of \)180,000 in manufacturing the equipment and $4,000 in negotiating and closing the lease. George has determined that the collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, that no additional costs will be incurred, and that the implicit interest rate is 10%.

Instructions

(a) Discuss the nature of this lease in relation to the lessor and compute the amount of each of the following items.

  1. Lease receivable.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The lease is a sale-type lease.

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Lease Receivable

Any rents, payments, and other amounts (including, without limitation, any sales or use taxes, supplementary rent payments, additional rent payments, rental stores, engine stores, maintenance stores, and maintenance) under or in connection with the lease are known as a lease receivable.

02

Explaining the nature of the lease in relation to the lessor

The lease is a sales-type lease because:

1) The lease period exceeds 75% of the asset's expected economic life

(10/12 = 83%),

2) Payment collectability is fairly ensured, and no further expenditures are paid, and

3) George Company made a profit in addition to the financing fee.

03

Winston Industries and Ewing Inc. enter into an agreement that requires Ewing Inc. to build three diesel-electric engines to Winston’s specifications. Upon completion of the engines, Winston has agreed to lease them for a period of 10 years and to assume all costs and risks of ownership. The lease is noncancelable, becomes effective on January 1, 2017, and requires annual rental payments of \(413,971 each January 1, starting January 1, 2017.

Winston’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%. The implicit interest rate used by Ewing Inc. and known to Winston is 8%. The total cost of building the three engines is \)2,600,000. The economic life of the engines is estimated to be 10 years, with residual value set at zero. Winston depreciates similar equipment on a straight-line basis. At the end of the lease, Winston assumes title to the engines. Collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably certain; no uncertainties exist relative to unreimbursable lessor costs.

Instructions

(d) Prepare the journal entries for both the lessee and lessor to record the first rental payment on January 1, 2017.

(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.

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.

Geiberger Corporation manufactures replicators. On January 1, 2017, it leased to Althaus Company a replicator that had cost \(110,000 to manufacture.
