Answer:
See the journal entries below.
Lease receivable = $235,757.58
Explanation:
Before the journal entries are prepared, the present value of the annual rentals or lease receivable is first calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity due since the annual rentals is payable each December 31, beginning December 31, 2019 as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) * (1 + r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV = Present value annual rentals or lease receivable = ?
P = Annual rentals = $52,800
r = Interest rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of years the lease agreement covered = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
PV = $52,800 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.06))^5) / 0.06) * (1 + 0.06)
PV = $235,757.58
The journal entries will now look as follows:
<u>Date Account Tittle Debit ($) Credit ($) </u>
31-Dec-19 Lease Receivable 235,757.58
Cost of Goods Sold 156,000.00

<u><em> (To record the lease.) </em></u>
