Question: Refer to the data and other information


Refer to the data and other information provided for Wong Corporation in E20-15. Assume that the equipment has an estimated economic life of seven years and that its fair value on September 1, 2017 is $79,000.

(b) Prepare all necessary journal entries for Wong Corporation for this lease, including any year-end adjusting entries through December 31, 2018.
(c) Identify what accounts will appear on Wong’s December 31, 2017 balance sheet and income statement relative to this lease.

(e) From the perspective of an investor, discuss the effect of accounting for this lease as an operating lease rather than as a capital lease.

Data from E20-15:

On September 1, 2017, Wong Corporation, which uses ASPE, signed a five-year, non-cancellable lease for a piece of equipment. The terms of the lease called for Wong to make annual payments of $13,668 at the beginning of each lease year, starting September 1, 2017. The equipment has an estimated useful life of six years and a $9,000 unguaranteed residual value. The equipment reverts back to the lessor at the end of the lease term. Wong uses the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its plant assets, has a calendar year end, prepares adjusting journal entries at the end of the fiscal year, and does not use reversing entries. Wong’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%, and the lessor’s implicit rate is unknown.

Instructions:
(a) Using time value of money tables, a financial calculator, or Excel functions, calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments for the lessee.
(b) Explain why this is a capital lease to Wong.
(c) Prepare all necessary journal entries for Wong for this lease, including any year-end adjusting entries through September 1, 2018.
(d) Would this also be a capital lease if Wong reported under IAS 17?
(e) Prepare all necessary journal entries for Wong for this lease, including any year-end adjusting entries through September 1, 2018, assuming Wong followed IAS 17.
