Assume that a town leases equipment on a capital lease. The present value of the leased equipment is $65,000. The city, subsequently, pays $6,500 on the lease, $3,900 of which is designated as interest and the remainder to a reduction of the lease obligation: Required: Prepare the journal entry to record the acquisition of equipment via lease and the subsequent payment.
Land City leases a fleet of garbage trucks. The term of the lease is 10 years, approximately the useful life of the equipment. Based on a sales price of $800,000 and an interest rate of 6%, the city agrees to make annual payments of $108,694. Upon the expiration of the lease, the trucks will revert to the city. 1. Prepare appropriate journal entries in the general fund, the general fixed assets account group, and the general long-term debt account group to record the signing of the lease. 2. Prepare appropriate journal entries in the same fund and account groups to record the first payment on the lease. The city records depreciation on garbage trucks using the straight-line method.
Kendall County entered into a lease agreement to finance computer equipment used in government offices. The lease covers three years, and county officials are reasonably certain that funding and approvals will be renewed annually. At the inception of the lease, a payment of $640,000 will be made; two additional annual lease payments of $640,000 are to be made near the end of each year. The total amount to be paid under this lease is $1,920,000. The lease arrangements implied an annual interest rate of 3 percent. Therefore, the present value of the lease at inception, including the initial payment, is $1,864,620. Assume that the fair value of the equipment at the inception of the lease is $1,900,000. What amount would the liability be reported at the end of the first year
