In E21.15

Laura Leasing Company signs an agreement on January 1, 2020, to lease equipment to Plote Company. The following information relates to this agreement.

1. The term of the non-cancelable lease is 3 years with no renewal option. The equipment has an estimated economic life of 5 years.

2. The fair value of the asset at January 1, 2020, is $80,000.

3. The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term, at which time the asset is expected to have a residual value of $7,000, none of which is guaranteed.

4. The agreement requires equal annual rental payments of $25,562.96 to the lessor, beginning on January 1, 2020.

6. Plote uses the straight-line depreciation method for all equipment.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Lease liability at the beginning of the lease is determined as the present value of the lease payment. In this case, the lessee is unknown to the implicit rate, therefore an incremental borrowing rate is used to calculate the lease liability.
