On January 1, 2018, Maywood Hydraulics leased drilling equipment from Aqua Leasing for a four-year period ending December 31, 2021, at which time possession of the leased asset will revert back to Aqua. The equipment cost Aqua $412,184 and has an expected economic life of five years. Aqua expects the residual value at December 31, 2018, to be $50,000. Negotiations led to Maywood guaranteeing a $70,000 residual value.
Equal payments under the lease are $100,000 and are due on December 31 of each year with the first payment being made on December 31, 2018. Maywood is aware that Aqua used a 5% interest rate when calculating lease payments.
Required:
