Larkspur Company leased equipment from Costner Company, beginning on December 31, 2016. The lease term is 4 years and requires equal rental payments of $75,500 at the beginning of each year of the lease, starting on the commencement date (December 31, 2016). The equipment has a fair value at the commencement date of the lease of $260,000, an estimated useful life of 4 years, and no estimated residual value. The appropriate interest rate is 11%.

Prepare Larkspurs 2016 and 2017 journal entries, assuming Larkspur depreciates similar equipment it owns on a straight-line basis. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually.
