Journal Entries for a Capital Lease-Lessee

On January 1, the lessee company signed an operating lease contract. The lease contract calls for $3,000 payments at the end of each year for 10 years. The rate implicit in the lease is 10%.

Assume that the lease is to be accounted for as a capital lease. Also assume that the leased asset is to be amortized over the 12-year asset life rather than the 10-year lease term.

1. Make the journal entries necessary on the books of the lessee company at the end of the first year, including the recording of the first lease payment. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar. For compound transactions, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.

lease liability 1157
intrest exp 1843
cash 3000
amortization exp ?
accumulated amortization on leased asset ?

* Note: I got 1286 and it was wrong.

The economic useful life of leased asset cannot exceed the lease term hence it should be amortized over 10 years and not 12 year.

Amortisation = 18,434 / 10 years = $1,543

amortization exp..Dr  $1,543

accumulated amortization on leased asset Cr ..$1,543
