The residual value is the estimated fair value of the leased property at the end of the lease term.
(b) Of what significance is (1) an unguaranteed and (2) a guaranteed residual value in the lessor’s accounting for a direct-financing lease transaction?
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.
Use the information for Indiana Jones Corporation from BE21-9. Assume that for Lost Ark Company, the lessor, collectibility is reasonably predictable, there are no important uncertainties concerning costs, and the carrying amount of the equipment is \(202,921. Prepare Lost Ark’s January 1, 2017, journal entries.
Indiana Jones Corporation enters into a 6-year lease of equipment on January 1, 2017, which requires 6 annual payments of \)40,000 each, beginning January 1, 2017. In addition, Indiana Jones guarantees the lessor a residual value of $20,000 at lease-end. The equipment has a useful life of 6 years. Prepare Indiana Jones’ January 1, 2017, journal entries assuming an interest rate of 10%.
(Lessor Entries; Direct-Financing Lease with Option to Purchase) Castle Leasing Company signs a lease agreement on January 1, 2017, to lease electronic equipment to Jan Way Company. The term of the noncancelable lease is 2 years, and payments are required at the end of each year. The following information relates to this agreement:
Instructions
Question: (Balance Sheet and Income Statement Disclosure—Lessee) The following facts pertain to a noncancelable lease agreement between Alschuler Leasing Company and McKee Electronics, a lessee, for a computer system.
Inception date | October 1, 2017 |
Lease term | 6 years |
Economic life of leased equipment | 6 years |
Fair value of asset at October 1, 2017 | \(300,383 |
Residual value at end of lease term | –0– |
Lessor’s implicit rate | 10% |
Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate | 10% |
Annual lease payment due at the beginning of each year, beginning with October 1, 2017 | \)62,700 |
The collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the costs yet to be incurred by the lessor. The lessee assumes responsibility for all executory costs, which amount to \(5,500 per year and are to be paid each October 1, beginning October 1, 2017. (This \)5,500 is not included in the rental payment of \(62,700.) The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term. The straight-line depreciation method is used for all equipment.
The following amortization schedule has been prepared correctly for use by both the lessor and the lessee in accounting for this lease. The lease is to be accounted for properly as a capital lease by the lessee and as a direct-financing lease by the lessor.
Date | Annual lease payments/Receipt | Interest (10%) On Unpaid liability/Receivable | Reduction of Lease Liability? Receivable | Balance of Lease Liability/Receivable |
10/01/17 | \)300,383 | |||
10/01/17 | \(62,700 | \)62,700 | 237,683 | |
10/01/18 | \(62,700 | \)23,768 | 38,932 | 198,751 |
10/01/19 | \(62,700 | 19,875 | 42,825 | 155,926 |
10/01/20 | \)62,700 | 15,593 | 47,107 | 108,819 |
10/01/21 | \(62,700 | 10,882 | 51,818 | 57,001 |
10/01/22 | \)62,700 | 5,699* | 57,001 | 0 |
\(376,200 | \)75,817 | \(300,383 |
*Rounding error is \)1.
(b) Assuming the lessee’s accounting period ends on December 31, answer the following questions with respect to this lease agreement.
(4) What items and amounts will appear on the lessee’s balance sheet at December 31, 2018?
