Problem 18-14 (Part Level Submission) Blue Spruce Engines Ltd., a private business following ASPE, operates small engine repair outlets and is a tenant in several of Tran Holdings Inc.'s strip shopping malls. Blue Spruce signed several lease renewals with Tran that each called for a three-month rent-free period. The leases start at various dates and are for three to five years each. As with all of Tran's tenants, Blue Spruce pays rent quarterly, three months in advance, and records the payments initially to Prepaid Rent. The rent-free period obtained in the lease agreement with Tran Holdings Inc. reduces the overall rental costs of the outlets over the term of each lease. Blue Spruce's accounting policy requires the leasing costs of each outlet to be allocated evenly over the term of the lease to fairly match expenses with revenues. Blue Spruce accrues rent expense during the rent-free period to an account called Rent Payable. Following the rent-free period, the Rent Payable account is amortized to Rent Expense over the remaining term of the lease. For tax purposes, Blue Spruce must use the cash basis and is unable to deduct the rent expense accrued during the rent-free periods. On its tax return, Blue Spruce can deduct the actual rent payments only when they are made. The following are balances for the accounts related to prepaid rent and rent payable under leases as well as payments for interest to earn tax-exempt income and payments for golf club dues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020: 2021 Prepaid Rent (assume current classification and no balance at Dec. 31, 2019) $93,800 Rent Payable (assume non-current classification and no balance at Dec. 31, 2019) 129,400 Golf Dues Expense 10,400 Interest Expense (incurred to earn tax-exempt income) 8,800 2020 $90,000 141,500 15,700 5,100 In 2020, Blue Spruce's tax rate is 28%, and for subsequent years it is 27%.
