On January 1, 2019, Mopps Corp. agrees to provide Conklin Company 3 years of cleaning and janitorial services. The contract sets the price at 12,000 per year, which is the normal standalone price that Mopps charges. On December 31, 2020, Mopps and Conklin agree to modify the contract. Mopps reduces the fee for the third year to 10,000, and Conklin agrees to a 4-year extension that will extend services through December 31, 2024, at a price of 15,000 per year. At the time that the contract is modified, Mopps is charging other customers 13,500 for the cleaning and janitorial service. Required: Should Mopps and Conklin treat the modification as a separate contract? If so how should Mopps account for the contract modification on December 31, 2020? Support your opinion by discussing the application to this case of the factors that need to be considered for determining the accounting for contract modifications.

Comprehensive Landlord Company and Tenant Company enter into a noncancelable, direct financing lease on January 1, 2019, for nonspecialized equipment that cost the Landlord 280,000 (useful life is 6 years with no residual value). The fair value of the equipment is 300,000. The interest rate implicit in the lease is 14%. The 6-year lease requires 6 equal annual amounts payable each January 1, beginning with January 1, 2019. Tenant pays all executory costs directly to a third party on December 1 of each year. The equipment reverts to the lessor at the termination of the lease. Assume that there are no initial direct costs. Landlord expects to collect all rental payments. Required: 1.

What additional information would be required to make this computation? 2. Next Level Prepare a table summarizing the lease and interest receipts that would be suitable for Landlord. Under what conditions would this table be suitable for Tenant? 3. Assuming that the table prepared in Requirement 2 is suitable for both the lessee and the lessor, prepare the journal entries for both firms for the years 2019 and 2020. Use the straight-line depreciation method for the leased equipment. The executory costs paid by the lessee are in 2019: insurance, 700 and property taxes, 800; in 2020: insurance, 600 and property taxes, 750. 4.

Determining Type of Lease and Subsequent Accounting On January 1, 2019, Ballieu Company leases specialty equipment with an economic life of 8 years to Anderson Company. The lease contains the following terms and provisions: The lease is noncancelable and has a term of 8 years. The annual rentals arc 35,000, payable at the beginning of each year. The interest rate implicit in the lease is 14%. Anderson agrees to pay all executory costs directly to a third party and is given an option to buy the equipment for 1 at the end of the lease term, December 31, 2026. The cost of the equipment to the lessee is 150,000, and the fair value is approximately 185,100. Ballieu incurs no material initial direct costs. It is probable that Ballieu will collect the lease payments. Ballieu estimates that the fair value is expected to be significantly greater than 1 at the end of the lease term. Ballieu calculates that the present value on January 1, 2019, of 8 annual payments in advance of 35,000 discounted at 14% is 185,090.68 (the 1 purchase option is ignored as immaterial). Required: 1.
