Practice Questions: Lease New Standard
(The questions below are based on E15-12 and E15-13 from Intermediate Financial Accounting 9th edition by Spiceland, Sepe and Nelson, with some modifications)
1) At January 1, 2018, Café Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $25,000 beginning January 1, 2018, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2025. The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $180,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 12 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only nine years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $50,995. None of the residual revenue is guaranteed) Crescent seeks a 10% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be a finance lease. Required:
a) Prepare the journal entries for Café Med from the beginning of the lease through December 31, 2018.
b) What will be the effect of the lease on Café Med's earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?
c) What will be the balances in the balance sheet accounts related to the lease at the end of the first year of Café Med (ignore taxes)?
