Question: (Lessee-Lessor Entries; Sales-Type Lease) On January 1, 2017, Bensen Company leased equipment to Flynn Corporation. The following information pertains to this lease.

  1. The term of the noncancelable lease is 6 years, with no renewal option. The equipment reverts to the lessor at the termination of the lease.
  2. Equal rental payments are due on January 1 of each year, beginning in 2017.
  3. The fair value of the equipment on January 1, 2017, is \(150,000, and its cost is \)120,000.
  4. The equipment has an economic life of 8 years, with an unguaranteed residual value of $10,000. Flynn depreciates all of its equipment on a straight-line basis.
  5. Bensen set the annual rental to ensure an 11% rate of return. Flynn鈥檚 incremental borrowing rate is 12%, and the implicit rate of the lessor is unknown.
  6. Collectibility of lease payments is reasonably predictable, and no important uncertainties surround the amount of costs yet to be incurred by the lessor.

Instructions

Short Answer

Answer

There is a Capital Lease to Bensen and Flynn.

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Lease

A lease is alegally binding contract between a lessor and a lessee. The lessee has been given the right to use certain property owned by the lessee for the period specified under this agreement. The lessee pays the lessee rent payments over the term of the lease in exchange for the use of the asset.

02

Discussing the nature of the lease to Bensen and Flynn

Since the term of the lease is 75 percent ( 6/8) of the economic life of the asset, it is a capital lease for Flynn. In addition, the present value of the minimum lease payment exceeds 90% of the fair value of the asset.

Since lease payments are generally approximate, there is no significant uncertainty surrounding the lessee's future expenses, and the lease term is 75 percent of the economic life of the asset, this is a capital lease for Benson. The lease is a sale-type lease because the fair value of the equipment ($150,000) exceeds the lessor's cost ($120,000).
