In: Accounting
At January 1, 2021, Café Med leased restaurant equipment from
Crescent Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease
agreement specifies annual payments of $29,000 beginning January 1,
2021, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31
thereafter through 2028. The equipment was acquired recently by
Crescent at a cost of $207,000 (its fair value) and was expected to
have a useful life of 13 years with no salvage value at the end of
its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does
have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of
$94,113.) Crescent seeks a 12% return on its lease investments. By
this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease. (FV
of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1)
