The term of the lease is 7 years with no renewal option, and the machinery has an estimated economic life of 9 years. 2. The cost of the machinery is $489,000, and the fair value of the asset on January 1, 2020, is $699,000. 3. At the end of the lease term, the asset reverts to the lessor and has a guaranteed residual value of $60,000. Kingbird estimates that the expected residual value at the end of the lease term will be 60,000. Kingbird amortizes all of its leased equipment on a straight-line basis. 4.
