On 11?2012ABC. Inc. enters into a 20-year non-cancelable lease for a piece of machinery owned by xYZ, Inc. The lease calls for annual payments of $20,000, payable at the beginning of each year of the lease (i.e. first payment due on 11?2012). At the end of the lease, the right to use the machine transfers back to xYZ. ABC, Inc. declined the choice to purchase the machine outright for $800,000, and the economic life of the machine is believed to be 30 years. There is also an option to renew the lease for an additional 10 years at a reduced rate of $19,000. This does not represent a bargain renewal option that ABC, Inc. is reasonably certain to use. ABC, Inc. uses a 5% discount rate to calculate present values, and generally uses straight line depreciation to depreciate machines assuming a 0% salvage value. In addition, ABC, Inc. spends $20,000 to customize the machinery for use in their factory. They believe that this customization has a useful life of 10 years.
What (if any) journal entry(ies) should ABC, Inc. record on 11?2012?
