Answer 1

Answer:

Total effective interest = $7,920

Accumulated depreciation as at  December 31, 2016 = $56,040

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the lease amortization schedule and the journal entries.

The following are used in the excel file:

R = Implicit interest rate / 4 Quarters in a year = 8% / 4 = 2%

Effective interest = Previous lease balance * R = Previous lease balance * 2%

Decrease in lease balance = Lease payments - Effective interest

Lease balance = Previous lease balance - Decrease in balance

Accumulated depreciation as at  December 31, 2016 = Equipment cost /  2 years = $112,080 / 2 = $56,040
