The lease term is 10 years, noncancelable, and requires equal rental payments due at the beginning of each year starting January 1, 2025. 2. The equipment has a fair value of $415,000, and cost Chavez $325,000 at the inception of the lease (January 1, 2025). 3. The estimated economic life of the equipment is 15 years. 4. The lease contains no renewable options, and the equipment reverts to Chavez Finance Company upon termination of the lease. 5. Lehman Dairy's incremental borrowing rate is 10% per year. The Chavez's implicit rate is 8% and is unknown to Lehman Dairy. 6. Collectability of the payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the costs yet to be incurred by the lessor. Instructions: 1. Calculate the payments that Chavez requires to recover the $415,000 fair value? 2. Present the lessor and lessee journal entries for the first two years. 3. If Lehman was able to negotiate the lease payments to $51,000 per year, starting on January 1, 2025, how would this change this lease and journal entries?
