On January 1, 2020, Better, Inc. entered into an equipment lease with Canyon Corp. under which Better agrees to lease equipment that was manufactured by Canyon and that has an expected useful life of 4 years. The cost to manufacture the equipment was $500,000 and its normal sales price is $600,000.The lease term is 3 years and Canyon expects to recover the equipment's normal sales price through 3 lease payments in order to earn an 8% rate of return. The residual value is expected to be $53,000. Better doesn't guaranteed the residual value. The lease payment is due at lease signing date and each of the following December 31. Better is aware of Canyon's expected rate of return and normally amortizes the assets by the straight-line method.Canyon is reasonably confident that Better will make the lease payments and has no material uncertainties.
