Estimated economic life of the leased property problem


On January 2, 2014, the Clapton Studios leased six computers for use in the engineering department. The lease period is for 13 years and the estimated economic life of the leased property is 15 years. The lease does not contain automatic title transfer or a bargain purchase option. Lease payments are $11,000 per year, payable each December 31. The implicit interest rate (known by Clapton) is 10 percent. The company uses straight-line depreciation for this type of equipment.

Provide the necessary journal entries to record the transactions for Clapton for the period January 2, 2014 through December 31, 2015.
