Problem 1
Cleveland Inc. leased a new crane to Abriendo Construction
under a 5-year noncancelable contract starting January 1, 2014.
Terms of the lease require payments of
$33,000 each January 1, starting January 1, 2014. Cleveland will
pay insurance, taxes, and maintenance
charges on the crane, which has an estimated life of 12 years, a
fair value of $240,000, and a cost to Cleveland
of $240,000. The estimated fair value of the crane is expected to
be $45,000 at the end of the lease term.
No bargain-purchase or renewal options are included in the
contract. Both Cleveland and Abriendo adjust
and close books annually at December 31. Collectibility of the
lease payments is reasonably certain, and no
uncertainties exist relative to unreimbursable lessor costs.
Abriendo’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%,
and Cleveland’s implicit interest rate of 9% is known to Abriendo.

Inception date January 1, 2014
Annual lease payment due at the beginning of

The lessee assumes responsibility for all executory costs, which
are expected to amount to $5,000 per year.
The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term.

value of $50,000. The lessee uses the straight-line depreciation
method for all equipment.

lessee for the lease term.
(b)Prepare all of the journal entries for the lessee for 2014 and
2015 to record the lease agreement, the

Problem 3
You are auditing the December 31, 2014, financial statements
of Hockney, Inc., manufacturer of novelties and party favors.
During your inspection of the company
garage, you discovered that a used automobile not listed in the
equipment subsidiary ledger is parked
there. You ask Stacy Reeder, plant manager, about the vehicle, and
she tells you that the company did not
list the automobile because the company was only leasing it. The
lease agreement was entered into on
January 1, 2014, with Crown New and Used Cars.
You decide to review the lease agreement to ensure that the lease
should be afforded operating lease
treatment, and you discover the following lease terms.
1.Noncancelable term of 4 years.
2.Rental of $3,240 per year (at the end of each year). (The present value
at 8% per year is $10,731.)
3.Estimated residual value after 4 years is $1,100. (The present
value at 8% per year is $809.) Hockney
guarantees the residual value of $1,100.
4.Estimated economic life of the automobile is 5 years.
5.Hockney’s incremental borrowing rate is 8% per year.
