Terms of a lease agreement and related facts were as follows:

The lease asset had a retail cash selling price of $120,000. Its useful life was six years with no residual value (straight-line depreciation).

Annual lease payments at the beginning of each year were $25,048, beginning January 1.

Lessors implicit rate when calculating annual rental payments was 10%.

Costs of $2,475 for legal fees for the lease execution were the responsibility of the lessor.

Required: Prepare the appropriate entries for the lessor to record the lease, the initial payment at its beginning, and at the December 31 fiscal year-end under each of the following three independent assumptions:

1. The lease term is three years and the lessor paid $120,000 to acquire the asset (operating lease). 2. The lease term is six years and the lessor paid $120,000 to acquire the asset (sales-type lease). Also assume that adjusting the lease receivable (net investment) by initial direct costs reduces the effective rate of interest to 9%. 3. The lease term is six years and the lessor paid $96,000 to acquire the asset (sales-type lease).
