Question

Use the information for Geiberger Corporation from BE21.12, except assume the collectibility of the rentals is not probable. Prepare any journal entries for Geiberger on December 31, 2019.
In BE21.12
Geiberger Corporation manufactures drones. On December 31, 2019, it leased to Althaus Company a drone that had cost $120,000 to manufacture. The lease agreement covers the 5-year useful life of the drone and requires five equal annual rentals of $40,800 payable each December 31, beginning December 31, 2019. An interest rate of 8% is implicit in the lease agreement. Collectibility of the rentals is probable. Prepare Geiberger’s December 31, 2019, journal entries.

Answer 1

Answer:

Date                Account title                                      Debit                Credit

12/31/2019      Lease Receivable                           $175,934

                      Cost of Goods sold                         $120,000

                      Sales Revenue                                                        $175,934

                      Inventory                                                                  $120,000

Date                Account title                                      Debit                Credit

12/31/2019      Cash                                                 $40,800

                       Deposit Liability                                                        $40,800

The rental amount is constant and is made on the first day of the lease period so this is an annuity due.

As the collectability is probable, you need to find the present value of this lease:

= 40,800 * Present value of annuity due factor, 5 year, 8%

= 40,800 * 4.3121

= $175,933.68

= $175,934
