Alt Corporation enters into an agreement with Yates Rentals Co. on January 1, 2013 for the purpose of leasing a machine to be used in its manufacturing operations. The following data pertain to the agreement: (a) The term of the noncancelable lease is 3 years with no renewal option. Payments of $310,426 are due on December 31 of each year. (b) The fair value of the machine on January 1, 2013, is $800,000. The machine has a remaining economic life of 10 years, with no salvage value. The machine reverts to the lessor upon the termination of the lease. (c) Alt depreciates all machinery it owns on a straight-line basis. (d) Alt's incremental borrowing rate is 10% per year. Alt does not have knowledge of the 8% implicit rate used by Yates. (e) Immediately after signing the lease, Yates finds out that Alt Corp. is the defendant in a suit which is sufficiently material to make collectibility of future lease payments doubtful. If Yates records this lease as a direct-financing lease, what amount would be recorded as Lease Receivable at the inception of the lease?
