15. Sales Type Lease with Bargain Purchase. (Calculator set on BEG). On January 1, 2019, Lessor Corp. leased a piece of production equipment to Lessee Corp. under an 8-year lease, with payments due at the beginning of each year. Lessor manufactured the equipment at a cost of $500,000 and its typical sales price is $750,000. The annual Lease payment was computed based on an implicit interest rate of 5%. At the end of the lease, the Lessee has an option to purchase the equipment for $50,000, which both parties are reasonably certain will occur. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 10 years, after which no residual value is expected.
