Flint Corporation agrees on January 1, 2020, to lease equipment
from Packers, Inc. for 3 years. The lease calls for annual lease
payments of $13,000 at the beginning of each year. The lease does
not transfer ownership, contain a bargain purchase option, and is
not a specialized asset. In addition, the economic life of the
equipment is 10 years, and the present value of the lease payments
is less than 90% of the fair value of the equipment.
Prepare Flint’ journal entries on January 1, 2020 (commencement of
the operating lease), and on December 31, 2020. Assume the implicit
rate used by the lessor is 8%, and this is known to Flint.
