On January 1, 2020, Sarasota Animation sold a truck to Peete Finance for $48,000 and immediately leased it back. The truck was carried on Sarasota's books at $44,000. The term of the lease is 5 years, there is no bargain purchase option, and title does not transfer to Sarasota at lease-end. The lease requires 5 equal rental payments of $11,395 at the end of each year (first payment on January 1, 2018). The appropriate rate of interest is 6%, the truck has a useful life of 5 years, with no expected residual value at the end of the lease term. Prepare Sarasota's 2020 journal entries.

    Dr cash $48,000

    Cr Truck account $44,000

    Cr gain on disposal of truck $4,000

    Dr right-of-use asset $48,000

    Cr lease liability $48,000

    Dr lease expense ($9600+$2880) $ 12,480

    Cr right-of-use asset $9,600

    Cr lease liability $2,880

    Explanation:

    The sale of the asset to Peete Finance implies for $48,000 implies that cash is debited with $48,000 while truck is credited with the book value of $44,000 with the difference of $4,000 credited to gain on disposal

    The amount to recognize in right-of-use asset in respect of the lease is the present value of lease payments computed thus:

    =-pv (rate, nper, pmt, fv)

    rate is the rate of interest of 6%

    nper is the number of years of lease which is 5

    pmt is annual lease rental of $11,395

    fv is the future value of lease payments which is unknown

    =-pv (6%,5,11395,0) = $48,000

    Depreciation charge=$48,000/5=$ 9,600

    Interest expense=$48,000*6%=$2880
