Dubois Steel Corporation, as lessee, signed a lease agreement for equipment for five years, beginning January 31, 2017. Annual rental payments of $41,000 are to be made at the beginning of each lease year (January 31). The insurance and repairs and maintenance costs are the lessee's obligation. The interest rate used by the lessor in setting the payment schedule is 9%; Dubois's incremental borrowing rate is 10%. Dubois is unaware of the rate being used by the lessor. At the end of the lease, Dubois has the option to buy the equipment for $4,000, which is considerably below its estimated fair value at that time. The equipment has an estimated useful life of seven years with no residual value. Dubois uses straight-line depreciation on similar equipment that it owns, and follows IFRS 16.
