Question

Amsterdam Leasing Company agrees to lease machinery to Harrisburg Corporation on January 1, 2019.
The following information relates to the lease agreement. The term of the lease is 7 years with no
renewal option, and the machinery has an estimated economic life of 9 years. The asset is not of a
specialized nature. The machinery cost is $525,000 and the fair value of the asset on January 1, 2019 is
$700,000. At the end of the lease term, the asset reverts to lessor and has a guaranteed residual value
of $50,000 and Harrisburg estimates the expected residual value at the end of the lease term will be
$50,000. Harrisburg amortizes all of its leased equipment on the straight-line basis. The lease
agreement requires equal of $109,365, beginning on January 1, 2019. The lessor believes the
collectability of the lease payments is probable. Amsterdam desires a rate of return of 5% on its
investments. Harrisburg’s incremental borrowing rate is 6%, and the lessor’s incremental implicit rate is
unknown.
