Lessor: Sales$-$Type $($Financing$)$ Lease

Assume that the lessor$$s amortization schedule happens to match the lessee$$s $($this won$$t always be the case$).$ Given that information, what journal entries would the lessor record on:

$1/1/24,$ on receiving the first payment.

$12/31/24$:

$1/1/25$:
