Answer 1

Answer:

equipment 65,000 debit

  lease liability   65,000 credit

--to record machine under lease agreement---

interest expense 6,610.5 debit

       lease liability    6,610.5 credit

-- to record accrued interest--

lease liability 15,000 debit

        cash                   15,000 credit

Explanation:

a) we record considering the present value of the future payment

b) we determinate the discount rate using excel goal seek tool:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV$

C 15,000.00

time 6

rate 0.101724917 = 10.17%

$15000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.10172)^{-6} }{0.101722} = PV$

PV $65,000.0000

c) at year end we calculate the interest generated for the liability and declare the interest expense

65,000 x 10.17% = 6,610.5

d)Then, we record the payment which decreases the liability.
