At January $1,2024,$ Caf$$ Med leased restaurant equipment from Crescent Corporation under a nine$-$year lease agreement.

The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $$30,000$ beginning January $1,2024,$ the beginning of the lease, and on each

December $31$ thereafter through $2031.$

The equipment was acquired recently by Crescent at a cost of $$225,000($its fair value$)$ and was expected to have a useful life of

$13$ years with no salvage value at the end of its life. Crescent records depreciation using the straight$-$line method.

Because the lease term is only nine years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of

$$127,481.$

Crescent seeks a $12\%$ return on its lease investments.

By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease.
