TB Problem 15-222(Static) On January 1,2024, Butterfly,...
On January 1,2024, Butterfly, Incorporated leased mining equipment from Diamond Corporation under a nine-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of \(\$ 75,000\) beginning January 1,2024, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2031. The equipment was acquired recently by Diamond at a cost of \$540,000(its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 12 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 9 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of \(\$ 33,684\).) Diamond seeks a \(10\%\) return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be a finance lease.
