Glaus Leasing Company (lessor) agrees to lease equipment to Jensen Corporation (lessee) on

January 1, 2020. The following information relates to the lease agreement.

The term of the lease is 7 years with no renewal option, and the machinery has an estimated economic life of 9 years. The machinery is not of a specialized nature.

• The cost of the machinery to Glaus is $525,000, and the fair value of the asset on January 1, 2020, is $700,000.
  At the end of the lease term, the asset reverts to the lessor and has a guaranteed residual value of $50,000. Jensen estimates that the expected residual value at the end of the lease term will be $50,000. Jensen amortizes all of its leased equipment on a straight-line basis.
• The lease agreement requires equal annual rental payments of $109,365, beginning on
  January 1, 2020.
• The collectability of the lease payments is probable.
• Glaus desires a 5% rate of return on its investments. Jensen's incremental borrowing rate is 6%, and assume that the lessor's implicit rate is unknown to the lessee.
