Rhone-Metro Industries manufactures equipment that is sold orleased. On December 31, 2021, Rhone-Metro leased equipment toWestern Soya Co. for a noncancelable stated lease term of fouryears ending December 31, 2025, at which time possession of theleased asset will revert back to Rhone-Metro. The equipment cost$320,000 to manufacture and has an expected useful life of sixyears. Its normal sales price is $404,357. The expected residualvalue of $18,000 at December 31, 2025, is not guaranteed. WesternSoya Co. is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option onDecember 30, 2024, at an option price of $8,000. Equal paymentsunder the lease are $147,000 (including $4,000 annual maintenancecosts) and are due on December 31 of each year. The first paymentwas made on December 31, 2021. Western Soya’s incremental borrowingrate is 10%. Western Soya knows the interest rate implicit in thelease payments is 8%. Both companies use straight-lineamortization.
