On 31 December 20X0, Columbia Inc. (Lessee) entered into an agreement with Scotia Ltd. (the Lessor) to lease equipment. Columbia Inc. will make four equal payments of $100,000 at the beginning of each lease year. Columbia Ltd. anticipates that the equipment will have a residual value of $80,000 at the end of the lease, net of removal costs.
