Jensen Company on January 1, 2013, enters into a six-year noncancelable lease, with four renewal options of one year each (see provision #2 below) for equipment having an estimated useful life of 10 years and a fair value to the lessor, Loeb Corp., at the inception of the lease of $9,000,000. Jensen's incremental borrowing rate is 8%, the same rate that is implicit in the lease. Jensen uses the straight-line method to depreciate its assets and the asset is expected to have a residual value of $180,000. The lease contains the following provisions:

1. Rental payments of $600,000 payable at the beginning of each six-month period.

2. Terms for renewal of the lease for a period of four years after expiration of the initial lease term that are so favorable as to guarantee that Jensen will renew.

3. A guarantee by Jensen Company that Loeb Corp. will realize $300,000 from selling the asset at the expiration of the lease.
