Question

LSU Company signs an agreement on January 1, 2009, to lease equipment to Tiger Corporation. The following information relates to this agreement: The term of the non cancelable lease is 6 years with no renewal option. The equipment has an estimated economic life of 6 years. The cost of the asset to the lessor is $245,000. The fair value of the asset on January 1, 2009, is $245,000. The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term, at which time the asset is expected to have a residual value of $43,622, none of which is guaranteed. The agreement requires annual rental payments, beginning Jan. 1, 2009. Collectability of the lease payments is reasonably predictable. There are no important uncertainties surrounding the amount of costs yet to be incurred by the lessor. The lessor’s rate of return is 10% and is known to the lessee. The lessee’s borrowing rate is 12%.
