Accounting

Clevland Company manufactures an equipment with an estimated economic life of 5 years and leases it to Irving inc. for a period of 3 years. The normal selling price of the equipment is $39,750, and its guaranteed residual value at the end of the lease term is 8,000 with $5,000 expected residual value. Irving will pay annual lease payments of $12,000 at the beginning of each year. Clevland incurred costs of $20,000 in manufacturing the equipment and $4,000 in sales commissions in closing the lease. Clevland has determined that the collectibility of the lease payments is probable and that the implicit interest rate is 8%, which is known to the lessee.

Instructions

(b) Prepare all of the lessor's journal entries for 1/1/2017, 12/31/2017, and 12/31/2019 assuming $7,500 residual value for the equipment on 12/31/2019.
