(Accounting for an Operating Lease) On January 1, 2017, Doug Nelson Co. leased a building to Patrick Wise Inc. The relevant information related to the lease is as follows.

  1. The lease arrangement is for 10 years.
  2. The leased building cost \(4,500,000 and was purchased for cash on January 1, 2017.
  3. The building is depreciated on a straight-line basis. Its estimated economic life is 50 years with no salvage value.
  4. Lease payments are \)275,000 per year and are made at the end of the year.
  5. Property tax expense of \(85,000 and insurance expense of \)10,000 on the building were incurred by Nelson in the first year. Payment on these two items was made at the end of the year.
  6. 6. Both the lessor and the lessee are on a calendar-year basis.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the journal entries that Nelson Co. should make in 2017.

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.
