Gopher Company leased an asset from Harry Company on December 31, 2018, with payments of $62,000 due each December 31 for six years, starting on December 31, 2018. The asset will be returned to Harry Company at the end of the lease term. Gopher has determined that none of the five lease classification criteria are met, so Gopher will classify the lease as an operating lease. Gopher's fiscal year ends on December 31. With these lease payments and Harry's implicit rate of 9%, the right-of-use asset is originally calculated to be $303,158. Make all of Gopher's journal entries for this lease for the following dates (clearly labeling each entry by date): December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 (while you are not asked to make the journal entries for December 31, 2018, you should consider them).
