What is the amount of profit on the sale


Risen Company, a dealer in machinery and equipment, leased equipment to Foran, Inc., on July 1, 2008. The lease is appropriately accounted for as a sale by Risen and as a purchase by Foran. The lease is for a 10-year period (the useful life of the asset) expiring June 30, 2018. The first of 10 equal annual payments of $621,000 was made on July 1, 2008. Risen had purchased the equipment for $3,900,000 on January 1, 2008, and established a list selling price of $5,400,000 on the equipment. Assume that the present value at July 1, 2008, of the rent payments over the lease term discounted at 8% (the appropriate interest rate) was $4,500,000. What is the amount of profit on the sale and the amount of interest income that Risen should record for the year ended December 31, 2008?
