Problem 1. Watt Financing leased a packing machine to Nuts Company. The noncancelable lease requires lease payments of $50,000 per year, payable in advance, over a five-year period. Nuts' incremental borrowing rate is 13%. Watt's implicit interest rate (known to Nuts) is 11%. The lease term begins on January 1, 2019. The machine's economic life is 10 years with a cost of $200,000 and fair value of $235,000. The collectability of the lease payments is probable for the lessor. Assuming that there is a guaranteed residual value of $20,000 to Watt.
