Sarasota Corporation agrees on January 1, 2020, to lease equipment from Packers, Inc. for 3 years. The lease calls for annual lease payments of $23,500 at the beginning of each year. The lease does not transfer ownership, contain a bargain purchase option, and is not a specialized asset. In addition, the economic life of the equipment is 10 years, and the present value of the lease payments is less than 90% of the fair value of the equipment. Assume that for Packers, Inc., the lessor, the collectibility of the lease payments is probable, and the fair value and cost of the equipment is $201,000.

Prepare Packers 2020 journal entries, assuming the company uses straight-line depreciation and no salvage value.
