Cary Corp. manufactures equipment for sale or lease. On December 31, 2020, Cary leased equipment to Grant Sales Inc. for five years, with ownership of the equipment being transferred to Grant at the end of the lease. Annual lease payments are $252,000 (including $12,000 executory costs) and are due on December 31 of each year. The first payment was made on December 31, 2020. Collectibility of the remaining lease payments is reasonably assured, and there are no additional costs (other than executory costs) to be incurred by Cary. The normal sales price of the equipment (fair value) is $924,000, and Cary's cost is $720,000. The present value of the lease payments is equal to the fair value of the equipment.

A $264,000

B $396,000
