Fieldman Company purchased a machine for leasing purposes on January 1, 2020, for $1,500,000. The machine has a 10-year life, has no residual value, and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 2, 2020, Fieldman leased the machine to Dahlia Company for $150,000 a year for a five-year period ending December 31, 2024. Dahlia does not guarantee a residual value of the machine at lease-end, although Dahlia can purchase the machine at the end of the lease term for 40% of the estimated residual value which is a significant discount. Dahlia paid $150,000 to Fieldman on January 2, 2020, the first annual payment date.
