Current Attempt in Progress

Buffalo Steel Company, as lessee, signed a lease agreement for equipment for $5$ years, beginning December $31,2025.$ Annual rental

payments of $$53,000$ are to be made at the beginning of each lease year $($December $31).$ The interest rate used by the lessor in setting

the payment schedule is $4\%$; Buffalo's incremental borrowing rate is $6\%.$ Buffalo is unaware of the rate being used by the lessor. At the

end of the lease, Buffalo has the option to buy the equipment for $$5,000,$ considerably below its estimated fair value at that time. The

equipment has an estimated useful life of $7$ years, with no salvage value. Buffalo uses the straight$-$line method of depreciation on

similar owned equipment.
