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.

Crane Company, a machinery dealer, leased a machine to Dexter Corporation on January 1, 2020. The lease is for an 8-year period and requires equal annual payments of $34,300 at the beginning of each year. The first payment is received on January 1, 2020. Crane had purchased the machine during 2019 for $140,000. Collectibility of lease payments by Crane is probable. Crane set the annual rental to ensure a 8% rate of return. The machine has an economic life of 10 years with no residual value and reverts to Crane at the termination of the lease. Assume that Dexter Corporation does not know the rate implicit in the lease used by Crane, and Dexter’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%. In addition, assume that Dexter incurs initial direct costs of $12,000.

Compute the amount of the lease liability and right-of-use asset for Dexter?

Prepare all necessary journal entries for Dexter for 2020.
