Landlord Company and Tenant Company enter into a noncancelable, direct financing lease on January 1, 2016, for new heavy equipment that cost the Landlord $300,000 (useful life is 6 years with no residual value). The fair value is also $300,000. Landlord expects a 14% return over the 6-year period of the lease. Lease provisions require 6 equal annual amounts payable each January 1, beginning with January 1, 2016. Tenant pays all executory costs. The heavy equipment reverts to the lessor at the termination of the lease. Assume that there are no initial direct costs. The collectibility of the rentals is reasonably assured, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the amount of unreimbursable costs yet to be incurred by the lessor.
