![Whispering Steel Company, as lessee, signed a lease agreement for equipment for 5 years, beginning December 31, 2020. Annual
rental payments of $54,000 are to be made at the beginning of each lease year (December 31). The interest rate used by the lessor in
setting the payment schedule is 6%; Whispering's incremental borrowing rate is 8%. Whispering is unaware of the rate being used by
the lessor. At the end of the lease, Whispering has the option to buy the equipment for $5,000, considerably below its estimated fair
value at that time. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years, with no salvage value. Whispering uses the straight-line
method of depreciation on similar owned equipment.
