At the beginning of the sixth year, the assets book value is 200,000 and Bliss changes the estimate of the assets life to 25 years, so that 20 years now remain in the assets life.

Lessee and Lessor Accounting Issues Diego Leasing Company agrees to provide La Jolla Company with equipment under a noncancelable lease for 5 years. The equipment has a 5-year life, cost Diego 25,000, and will have no residual value when the lease term ends. The fair value of the equipment is 30,000. La Jolla agrees to pay all executory costs (500 per year) throughout the lease period directly to a third party. On January 1, 2019, the equipment is delivered. Diego expects a 14% return on its net investment. The five equal annual rents are payable in advance starting January 1, 2019. Required: 1. Assuming this is a sales-type lease for the Diego and a finance lease for the La Jolla, prepare a table summarizing the lease and interest payments suitable for use by either party. 2. Next Level On the assumption that both companies adjust and close books each December 31, prepare journal entries relating to the lease for both companies through December 31, 2020, based on data derived in the table. Assume that La Jolla depreciates similar equipment by the straight line method
