Question:

On January 1, 2018, Khalid Ltd., which follows IAS 17, entered into an eight-year lease agreement for three dryers. Annual lease payments for the equipment are $28,500 at the beginning of each lease year, which ends December 31. Khalid made the first payment on January 1, 2018. At the end of the lease, the dryers will revert to the lessor. However, the dryers are expected to last for only eight years and have no residual value. At the time of the lease agreement, the dryers could be purchased for a total purchase price of approximately $166,000 cash. Equivalent financing for the equipment could have been obtained from Khalid's bank at 10.5%. Khalid's fiscal year coincides with the calendar year.
