(Lessee Computations and Entries, Capital Lease with Guaranteed Residual Value) Assume the same data as in P21-13 and that Chambers Medical Center has an incremental borrowing rate of 10%.

Lessor Computations and Entries, Sales-Type Lease with Guaranteed Residual Value) Amirante Inc. manufactures an X-ray machine with an estimated life of 12 years and leases it to Chambers Medical Center for a period of 10 years. The normal selling price of the machine is \(411,324, and its guaranteed residual value at the end of the noncancelable lease term is estimated to be \)15,000. The hospital will pay rents of \(60,000 at the beginning of each year and all maintenance, insurance, and taxes. Amirante Inc. incurred costs of \)250,000 in manufacturing the machine and $14,000 in negotiating and closing the lease. Amirante Inc. has determined that the collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, that there will be no additional costs incurred, and that the implicit interest rate is 10%.

Instructions

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Capital lease

The transfer of ownership rights of property to the lessee is known as a capital lease. The lease is treated as a loan (debt finance), and interest payments are deducted from the income.

02

Explaining the nature of the lease in relation to the lessee.

The non-cancelable lease is a capital lease because of the following condition

1) The lease term is for 83 percent (1012) of the economic life of the leased asset and

2) The present value of the minimum lease payments exceeds 90 percent of the leased asset's fair market value, the non-cancelable lease is a capital lease.

03

Computation of the amount of the initial liability

Initial Lease Liability:

PV of lease payments

$405,541

PV of guaranteed residual value

5,783

Initial lease liability

(Lessor Entries; Sales-Type Lease) Crosley Company, a machinery dealer, leased a machine to Dexter Corporation on January 1, 2017. The lease is for an 8-year period and requires equal annual payments of \(35,013 at the beginning of each year. The first payment is received on January 1, 2017. Crosley had purchased the machine during 2016 for \)160,000. Collectibility of lease payments is reasonably predictable, and no important uncertainties surround the amount of costs yet to be incurred by Crosley. Crosley set the annual rental to ensure an 11% rate of return. The machine has an economic life of 10 years with no residual value and reverts to Crosley at the termination of the lease.

Instructions

(b) Prepare all necessary journal entries for Crosley for 2017.

(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.

Morgan Leasing Company signs an agreement on January 1, 2017, to lease equipment to Cole Company. The following information relates to this agreement.

  1. The term of the noncancelable lease is 6 years with no renewal option. The equipment has an estimated economic life of 6 years.
  2. The cost of the asset to the lessor is \(245,000. The fair value of the asset at January 1, 2017, is \)245,000.
  3. The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term, at which time the asset is expected to have a residual value of $43,622, none of which is guaranteed.
  4. Cole Company assumes direct responsibility for all executory costs.
  5. The agreement requires equal annual rental payments, beginning on January 1, 2017.
  6. Collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable. There are no important uncertainties surrounding the amount of costs yet to be incurred by the lessor.

Instructions

(Round all numbers to the nearest cent.)

(c) Prepare all of the journal entries for the lessor for 2017 and 2018 to record the lease agreement, the receipt of lease payments, and the recognition of income. Assume the lessor’s annual accounting period ends on December 31.

Jana Kingston Corporation enters into a lease on January 1, 2017, that does not transfer ownership or contain a bargain-purchase option. It covers 3 years of the equipment’s 8-year useful life, and the present value of the minimum lease payments is less than 90% of the fair value of the asset leased. Prepare Jana Kingston’s journal entry to record its January 1, 2017, annual lease payment of $35,000.

On January 1, 2017, Irwin Animation sold a truck to Peete Finance for \(33,000 and immediately leased it back. The truck was carried on Irwin’s books at \)28,000. The term of the lease is 5 years, and title transfers to Irwin at lease-end. The lease requires five equal rental payments of $8,705 at the end of each year. The appropriate rate of interest is 10%, and the truck has a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. Prepare Irwin’s 2017 journal entries.
