Exercise $15-12($Static$)$ Lessee; finance lease; financial statement effects $[$LO$15-2]$

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 $$25,000$ 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 $$180,000($its fair value$)$ and was expected to have a useful life of

$12$ years with no salvage value at the end of its life.

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

$$50,995.$

Crescent seeks a $10\%$ return on its lease investments.

By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be a finance lease.
