(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.

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.

Question: (Lessee Entries and Balance Sheet Presentation, Capital Lease) On January 1, 2017, Cage Company contracts to lease equipment for 5 years, agreeing to make a payment of \(137,899 (including the executory costs of \)6,000) at the beginning of each year, starting January 1, 2017. The taxes, the insurance, and the maintenance, estimated at \(6,000 a year, are the obligations of the lessee. The leased equipment is to be capitalized at \)550,000. The asset is to be depreciated on a double-declining-balance basis, and the obligation is to be reduced on an effective-interest basis. Cage’s incremental borrowing rate is 12%, and the implicit rate in the lease is 10%, which is known by Cage. Title to the equipment transfers to Cage when the lease expires. The asset has an estimated useful life of 5 years and no residual value.

Instructions

(d) Prepare the journal entry to record the interest expense for the year 2017.

  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.
