Answer 1

Answer:

A. 01-01-2020

Dr Lease receivable $160,000

Dr Cost of goods sold $105,488

Cr Sales $145,488

Cr Inventory $120,000

12/31/20

Dr Cash $78,244

Cr Lease receivable $70,244

Cr Interest revenue $8,000

12/31/21

Dr Cash $78,244

Cr Lease receivable $73,756

Cr Interest revenue $4,488

B. Dec 31,2021

Dr Cash $ 16,000

Cr Sales revenue $ 16,000

Explanation:

Preparation of the journal entries

First step is to Compute the annual payments

Present Value of lease payment

Fair value $160,000

less: present value of residual value $14,512

(16000*0.90703)

Present value of lease payment $145,488

Annual lease payment (145488/1.85941) = $78,244

Present value of $ 1 at 5 % 2 periods = 0.90703

Present value of an ordinary annuity of $ 1 at 5 % 2 periods = 1.85941

Second step is to computer the Lease Amortization Schedule

CASTLE LEASING COMPANY (Lessor)

Lease Amortization Schedule

1/1/20 $160,000

12/31/20 $78,244 $8,000 $70,244 $89,756

12/31/21 $78,244 $4,488 $73,756 $16,000

12/31/21 $16,000 0 $16,000 0

12/31/20

($160,000*5%)=$8,000

$78,244-$8,000=$70,244

$160,000-$70,244=$89,756

12/31/21

($89,756*5%)=$4,488

$78,244 -$4,488=$73,756

$89,756-$73,756=$16,000

Lease Receivable = ($78,244 × 1.85941) + ($16,000 × 0.90703)

Lease Receivable = $160,000

Cost of Goods Sold = $120,000 - ($16,000 × 0.90703)

Cost of Goods Sold= $105,488

Sales Revenue = $160,000 - (16,000 × 0.90703) Sales Revenue = $145,488
