Question

On January 1, 2021, Calloway Company leased a machine to Zone Corporation. The lease qualifies as a sales-type lease. Calloway paid $280,000 for the machine and is leasing it to Zone for $40,000 per year, an amount that will return 11% to Calloway. The present value of the lease payments is $280,000. The lease payments are due each January 1, beginning in 2021. What is the appropriate interest entry on December 31, 2021? Multiple Choice Cash 26,400 Interest receivable 26,400 Cash 30,800 Interest revenue 30,800 Interest receivable 26,400 Interest revenue 26,400 Interest receivable 30,800 Interest revenue 30,800

Answer 1

Answer:

DR Interest receivable                                  26,400

CR Interest revenue                                                       26,400

Explanation:

As first lease has already been paid, the amount left of the lease is;

= 280,000 - 40,000

=$240,000

Interest is 11% so the interest to be received in December is;

= 11% * 240,000

= $‭26,400‬

This will be debited to Interest receivable as it is money owed and credited to Interest revenue as it is money earned.
