Question 1 -
Assume that IBM leased equipment that was carried at a cost of $195,000 to Sharon Swander Company. The term of the lease is 7 years beginning January 1, 2017, with equal rental payments of $33,816 at the beginning of each year? All executory costs are paid by Swander directly to third parties. The fair value of the equipment at the inception of the lease is $195,000. The equipment has a useful life of 7 years with no salvage value. The lease has an implicit interest rate of 7%, no bargain-purchase option, and no transfer of title. Collectibility is reasonably assured with no additional cost to be incurred by IBM.
(a) Prepare IBM's January 1, 2017, journal entries at the inception of the lease.
Question 2 -
Sheridan Company leases an automobile with a fair value of $16,256 from John Simon Motors, Inc., on the following terms:
1. Non-cancelable term of 50 months.
2. Rental of $380 per month (at end of each month). (The present value at 1% per month is $14,895.)
3. Estimated residual value after 50 months is $1,170. (The present value at 1% per month is $711.) Sheridan Company guarantees the residual value of $1,170.
4. Estimated economic life of the automobile is 60 months.
5. Sheridan Company's incremental borrowing rate is 12% a year (1% a month). Simon's implicit rate is unknown.
(a) What is the present value of the minimum lease payments?
(b) Record the lease on Sheridan Company's books at the date of inception.
(c) Record the first month's depreciation on Sheridan Company's books (assume straight-line).
(d) Record the first month's lease payment.
Question 3 -
The following facts pertain to a non-cancelable lease agreement between Bonita Leasing Company and Windsor Company, a lessee.
Inception date - May 1, 2017
Annual lease payment due at the beginning of each year, beginning with May 1, 2017 - $19,373.99
Bargain-purchase option price at end of lease term - $4,400
Lease term - 5 years
Economic life of leased equipment - 10 years
Lessor's cost - $62,000
Fair value of asset at May 1, 2017 - $85,000

The collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the costs yet to be incurred by the lessor. The lessee assumes responsibility for all executory costs.
(a) Prepare a lease amortization schedule for Windsor Company for the 5-year lease term.
(b) Prepare the journal entries on the lessee's books to reflect the signing of the lease agreement and to record the payments and expenses related to this lease for the years 2017 and 2018. Windsor's annual accounting period ends on December 31. Reversing entries are used by Windsor.

Question 6 -
Presented below are four independent situations.
(a) On December 31, 2017, Carla Inc. sold computer equipment to Daniell Co. and immediately leased it back for 10 years. The sales price of the equipment was $516,300, its carrying amount is $397,600, and its estimated remaining economic life is 12 years.
