Rodgers Corporation agrees on January 1, 2019, to lease equipment from Packers, Inc. for 3 years. The lease calls for annual lease payments of $12,000 at the beginning of each year. The lease does not transfer ownership or contain a bargain purchase op- tion, and is not a specialized asset. In addition, the economic life of the equipment is 10 years, and the present value of the lease payments is less than 90% of the fair value of the equipment. Prepare Rodgers, journal entries on January 1, 2019 (commencement of the operating lease), and on December 31, 2019. Assume the implicit rate used by the lessor is 8%, and this is known to Rodgers. E21.17 003) Use the information for Rodgers Corporation and Packers, Inc. from BE21.16. Assume that for Packers, Inc., the lessor the collectibility of the lease payments is probable, and the fair value and cost of the equipment is $60,000. Prepare Packers' 2019 journal entries, assuming the company uses straight-line depreciation and no residual value.

Final answer:

The lessee (Rodgers Corporation) recognizes a lease expense and the lessor (Packers, Inc.) recognizes both lease income and a depreciation expense based on the straight-line method over the economic life of the equipment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question pertains to accounting for a lease according to financial reporting standards. In this scenario, Rodgers Corporation is the lessee and Packers, Inc. is the lessor. Rodgers Corporation is entering an operating lease, so it will recognize lease expense each period rather than asset and liability. On the other side, Packers, Inc will recognize lease income and depreciate the asset.

For Rodgers Corporation on January 1, 2019:
Dr Lease expense $12,000
Cr Cash $12,000

For Rodgers Corporation on December 31, 2019:
Dr Lease expense $12,000
Cr Cash $12,000

For Packers, Inc. in 2019:
Dr. Cash $12,000
Cr Lease income $12,000

For the depreciation entry by Packers, Inc., assuming straight-line depreciation with no residual value and a 10-year life:

Dr. Depreciation expense $6,000
Cr Accumulated depreciation $6,000

(Calculation: $60,000 cost / 10-year life = $6,000 annual depreciation)
