Universal Leasing leases electronic equipment to a variety of businesses. The company’s primary service is providing alternate financing by acquiring equipment and leasing it to customers under long-term sales-type leases. Universal earns interest under these arrangements at a 9% annual rate.
  
The company leased an electronic typesetting machine it purchased for $49,900 to a local publisher, Desktop Inc., on December 31, 2020. The lease contract specified annual payments of $10,249 beginning January 1, 2021, the beginning of the lease, and each December 31 through 2022 (three-year lease term). The publisher had the option to purchase the machine on December 30, 2023, the end of the lease term, for $28,000 when it was expected to have a residual value of $32,000, a sufficient difference that exercise seems reasonably certain.
