1. Repeat requirement 2 of P12-3. Assume that the lease payments are due at the beginning
rather than at the end of the year. In this case, the first $277,409.44 payment would be
made on January 1, 2008. Round the amount of the initial lease liability at January 1, 2008
to the nearest dollar. Round all amounts in the amortization table to the nearest cent.
2. Make the journal entry to record the lease as a capital lease on January 1, 2008. Also prepare
the lessee’s adjusting entries for December 31, 2008 and 2009 as well as the entries to record
the lease payments on January 1, 2009 and 2010, and the leased asset’s depreciation in 2008
and 2009.
