On January 1, 2024, Rick's Pawn Shop leased a truck from Corey Motors for a six-year period with an option to extend the lease for three years. Rick's had no significant economic incentive as of the beginning of the lease to exercise the three-year extension option. Annual lease payments are $24,000 due on December 31 of each year, calculated by the lessor using a 7% discount rate. ⚫The expected useful life of the asset is nine years, and its fair value is $180,000. Assume that at the beginning of the third year, January 1, 2026, Rick's had made significant improvements to the truck whose cost could be recovered only if it exercises the extension option, creating an expectation that extension of the lease was "reasonably certain." .The relevant interest rate at that time was 8%. Note: Use tables, Excel, or a financial calculator. (EV of $1, PV of $1. FVA of $1. PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry, if any, on January 1 and on December 31 of the…
Current Attempt in Progress Cheyenne Corporation, in preparation of its December 31, 2025, financial statements, is attempting to determine the proper accounting treatment for each of the following situations. 1. 2. 3. No. 1. (a) Prepare the journal entries that should be recorded as of December 31, 2025, to recognize each of the situations above. (If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter O for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. List all debit entries before credit entries.) 2. As a result of uninsured accidents during the year, personal injury suits for $668,600 and $126,800 have been filed against the company. It is the judgment of Cheyenne's legal counsel that an unfavorable outcome is unlikely in the $126,800 case but that an unfavorable verdict approximating $550,000 (reliably estimated) will probably result in the $668,600 case. 3. Cheyenne owns a subsidiary in a foreign…
