Question

On January 1, 2021, Maywood Hydraulics leased drilling equipment from Aqua Leasing for a four-year period ending December 31, 2024, 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, 2024, 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, 2021. Maywood is aware that Aqua used a 5% interest rate when calculating lease payments. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 1. & 2. Prepare the appropriate entries for Maywood on January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021, related to the lease. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The Journal entries are shown below:-

1. Right of use assets Dr, $371,049

To Lease payable $371,049

(Being lease is recorded)

Working note:-

Present value of periodic lease payment $354,595

($100,000 × (present value of ordinary annuity of $1, n = 4, i = 5%)

($100,000 × 3.54595)

Present value of an estimated cash payment under a residual value

$16,454 (Present value $1, n = 4, i = 5%)

Lease payment = $354,595 + $16,454

= $371,049

2. Amortization expense Dr, ($371,049 ÷ 4 years) $97,262

To Right of use assets $97,262

(Being related to the lease is recorded)

3. Interest expense Dr, (5% × $371,049) $18,552

Lease payable Dr, $81,448

To annual payment of cash $100,000

(Being annual payment of lease is recorded)
