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%.

(c) Prepare all of the lessor’s journal entries for the first year.
(Lessee Entries, Capital Lease with Monthly Payments) Shapiro Inc. was incorporated in 2016 to operate as a computer software service firm with an accounting fiscal year ending August 31. Shapiro’s primary product is a sophisticated online inventory-control system; its customers pay a fixed fee plus a usage charge for using the system.
Shapiro has leased a large, Alpha-3 computer system from the manufacturer. The lease calls for a monthly rental of \(40,000 for the 144 months (12 years) of the lease term. The estimated useful life of the computer is 15 years.
Each scheduled monthly rental payment includes \)3,000 for full-service maintenance on the computer to be performed by the manufacturer. All rentals are payable on the first day of the month beginning with August 1, 2017, the date the computer was installed and the lease agreement was signed. The lease is noncancelable for its 12-year term, and it is secured only by the manufacturer’s chattel lien on the Alpha-3 system.
This lease is to be accounted for as a capital lease by Shapiro, and it will be depreciated by the straight-line method with no expected salvage value. Borrowed funds for this type of transaction would cost Shapiro 12% per year (1% per month). Following is a schedule of the present value of \(1 for selected periods discounted at 1% per period when payments are made at the beginning of each period.
Periods Present (months) | Present Value of \)1 per Period Discounted at 1% per Period |
1 | 1.000 |
2 | 1.990 |
3 | 2.970 |
143 | 76.658 |
144 | 76.899 |
Instructions
Prepare all entries Shapiro should have made in its accounting records during August 2017 relating to this lease. Give full explanations and show supporting computations for each entry. Remember, August 31, 2017, is the end of Shapiro’s fiscal accounting period and it will be preparing financial statements on that date. Do not prepare closing entries.
Geiberger Corporation manufactures replicators. On January 1, 2017, it leased to Althaus Company a replicator that had cost \(110,000 to manufacture. The lease agreement covers the 5-year useful life of the replicator and requires 5 equal annual rentals of \)40,800 payable each January 1, beginning January 1, 2017. An interest rate of 12% is implicit in the lease agreement. Collectibility of the rentals is reasonably assured, and there are no important uncertainties concerning costs. Prepare Geiberger’s January 1, 2017, journal entries.
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.
