Question: (Balance Sheet and Income Statement Disclosure鈥擫essee) 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 | \(300,383 |
Residual value at end of lease term | 鈥�0鈥� |
Lessor鈥檚 implicit rate | 10% |
Lessee鈥檚 incremental borrowing rate | 10% |
Annual lease payment due at the beginning of each year, beginning with October 1, 2017 | \)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.
Instructions
(a) Assuming the lessee鈥檚 accounting period ends on September 30, answer the following questions with respect to this lease agreement.
(4) What items and amounts will appear on the lessee鈥檚 balance sheet at September 30, 2019?
The following are four independent situations.
(d) On January 1, 2017, Sondgeroth Co. sold equipment with an estimated useful life of 5 years. At the same time, Sondgeroth leased back the equipment for 2 years under a lease classified as an operating lease. The sales price (fair value) of the equipment was \(212,700, the carrying amount is \)300,000, the monthly rental under the lease is \(6,000, and the present value of the rental payments is \)115,753. For the year ended December 31, 2017, determine which items would be reported on its income statement for the sale-leaseback transaction.
The residual value is the estimated fair value of the leased property at the end of the lease term.
(a) Of what significance is (1) an unguaranteed and (2) a guaranteed residual value in the lessee鈥檚 accounting for a capitalized-lease transaction?
(Accounting for an Operating Lease) On January 1, 2017, a machine was purchased for \(900,000 by Young Co. The machine is expected to have an 8-year life with no salvage value.

Instructions
(b) What amount should St. Leger Inc. report for rent expenses for 2017 on this lease?
(Lessee Accounting and Reporting) On January 1, 2017, Evans Company entered into a noncancelable lease for a machine to be used in its manufacturing operations. The lease transfers ownership of the machine to Evans by the end of the lease term. The term of the lease is 8 years. The minimum lease payment made by Evans on January 1, 2017, was one of eight equal annual payments.
