What items will appear on the lessee income statement


Balance Sheet and Income Statement Disclosure-Lessee

Response to the following problem:

The following facts pertain to a noncancelable lease agreement between Alschuler Leasing Company and McKee Electronics, a lessee, for a computer system.

Lease term                                              October 1, 2014

Economic life of leased equipment                    6 years

Fair value of asset at October 1, 2014             $300,383

Residual value at end of lease term                   -0-

Lessor's implicit rate                                        10%

Lessee's incremental borrowing rate                  10%

Annual lease payment due at the beginning of each year, beginning with October 1, 2014        $62,700

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, which amount to $5,500 per year and are to be paid each October 1, beginning October 1, 2014. (This $5,500 is not included in the rental payment of $62,700.) The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term. The straight-line depreciation method is used for all equipment. The following amortization schedule has been prepared correctly for use by both the lessor and the lessee in accounting for this lease. The lease is to be accounted for properly as a capital lease by the lessee and as a direct-financing lease by the lessor.
