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%.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The lease is a sale-type lease.

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Lease

In exchange for one or more payments, a lessor agrees to allow a lessee to have authority over the use of specific property, plant, and equipment for a specified length of time. Depending on whether an entity is a lessee or the lessor, there are different sorts of lease designations.

02

Explaining the nature of the lease in relation to the lessor

The lease is a sale-type lease because of the following condition:

  1. the lease term is for 83 percent (10÷12) of the economic life of the leased asset,
  2. the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeds 90 percent of the fair value of the leased property,
  3. the collectability of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no uncertainties as to reimbursable costs yet to be incurred by the lessor, and
  4. The lease provides the lessor with manufacturing capabilities.
03

Computation of amount of the sale price

The sales price is the same as the present value of minimum lease payments.

(b) Prepare a 10-year lease amortization schedule.

Winston Industries and Ewing Inc. enter into an agreement that requires Ewing Inc. to build three diesel-electric engines to Winston’s specifications. Upon completion of the engines, Winston has agreed to lease them for a period of 10 years and to assume all costs and risks of ownership. The lease is noncancelable, becomes effective on January 1, 2017, and requires annual rental payments of \(413,971 each January 1, starting January 1, 2017.

Winston’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%. The implicit interest rate used by Ewing Inc. and known to Winston is 8%. The total cost of building the three engines is \)2,600,000. The economic life of the engines is estimated to be 10 years, with residual value set at zero. Winston depreciates similar equipment on a straight-line basis. At the end of the lease, Winston assumes title to the engines. Collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably certain; no uncertainties exist relative to unreimbursable lessor costs.

Instructions

(f) Show the items and amounts that would be reported on the balance sheet (not notes) at December 31, 2017, for both the lessee and the lessor.

(Lessee-Lessor Accounting for Residual Values) Goring Dairy leases its milking equipment from King Finance Company under the following lease terms.

  2. The equipment has a fair value and cost at the inception of the lease (January 1, 2017) of \)220,404, an estimated economic life of 10 years, and a residual value (which is guaranteed by Goring Dairy) of $20,000.
  3. The lease contains no renewable options, and the equipment reverts to King Finance Company upon termination of the lease.
  4. Goring Dairy’s incremental borrowing rate is 9% per year. The implicit rate is also 9%.
  5. Goring Dairy depreciates similar equipment that it owns on a straight-line basis.
  6. Collectibility of the payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the costs yet to be incurred by the lessor.

Instructions

(a) Evaluate the criteria for classification of the lease, and describe the nature of the lease. In general, discuss how the lessee and lessor should account for the lease transaction.

Jennifer Brent Corporation owns equipment that cost \(80,000 and has a useful life of 8 years with no salvage value. On January 1, 2017, Jennifer Brent leases the equipment to Donna Havaci Inc. for 1 year with one rental payment of \)15,000 on January 1. Prepare Jennifer Brent Corporation’s 2017 journal entries.

  2. The term of the noncancelable lease is 10 years; title will transfer to Elmer.
  3. The lease agreement requires equal rental payments of \(110,666.81 at the end of each year.
  4. The incremental borrowing rate for Elmer is 12%. Elmer is aware that Liquidity Finance Co. set the annual rental to ensure a rate of return of 10%.
  5. The computer has a fair value of \)680,000 on January 1, 2017, and an estimated economic life of 10 years.
