Questiоns 1 – 4 (15% tоtаl) On 1/1/2012, KCR, Inc. enters intо а 10-yeаr non-cancellable lease for a piece of machinery owned by BUF, Inc. The lease calls for annual payments of $18,000, payable at the beginning of each year of the lease (i.e. first payment due on 1/1/2012). At the end of the lease, the right to use the machine transfers back to BUF with no option for KCR to purchase the machine at that point. KCR, Inc. declined the opportunity to purchase the machine outright for $175,000, and the economic life of the machine is estimated at 15 years. There is an option to renew the lease for an additional 5 years at a reduced rate of $15,000. This does not constitute a bargain renewal option. KCR, Inc. uses a 5% discount rate for present values, and straight line amortization on leased assets. In addition, KCR spends $20,000 to customize the machinery for their use. They believe the custom components have a useful life of 15 years. KCR typically uses straight line depreciation. 1) What type of lease will KCR decide this is? 2) What (if any) journal entries should KCR make on 1/1/2012? 3) What (if any) journal entries should KCR make on 12/31/2012? 4) Could this lease qualify for sale & leaseback treatment?
