  1. On January 1, 2016, Parent Company acquired 100% of the common stock of Subsidiary Company for $365,000. On this date, Subsidiary had common stock, other paid in capital, and retained earnings of $50,000, $100,000, and $200,000 respectively. Any excess of cost over book value is due to goodwill. Parent uses the simple equity method to account for its investment in subsidiary.

On January 1, 2017, Parent purchased equipment for $174,120 and immediately leased the equipment to Subsidiary on a 4-year lease. The transaction was legally structured as a sales-type lease with a present value for the minimum lease payments of $204,120. Parent recorded the following entry:

Minimum Lease Payments Receivable

240,000

Unearned Interest Income

35,880

Equipment

174,120

Sales Profit on Lease

The minimum lease payments of $60,000 are to be made annually on January 1, beginning immediately, for a total of 4 payments. The implicit interest rate is 12%. The lease provides for an automatic transfer of title at the end of 4 years. The estimated useful life of the equipment is 6 years. The lease has been capitalized by both companies.
