Assume that IBM leased equipment that was carried at a cost of $120,000 to Swander Company. The term of the lease is 6 years beginning December 31, 2019, with equal rental payments of $30,044 beginning December 31, 2019. The fair value of the equipment at commencement of the lease is $150,001. The equipment has a useful life of 6 years with no salvage value. The lease has an implicit interest rate of 8%, no bargain purchase option, and no transfer of title. Collectibility of lease payments for IBM is probable. Assume the sales-type lease was recorded at a present value of $150,001.
Prepare IBM’s December 31, 2016, journal entries at commencement of the lease.
