Answer:

the journal entry to record the signing of the lease agreement:

December 31, 2019, lease agreement signed

  • Dr Right of use 493,506
  •     Cr Lease liability 493,506

the lease liability must record the present value of the 10 annual lease payments: $68,099 and 8% discount rate:

present value of an annuity due = payment + {payment x [1 - (1 + r)⁻⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾]/r}

  • payment = 68,099
  • r = 8%
  • n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9

PV annuity due = 68,099 + {68,099 x [1 - (1 + 0.08)⁹]/0.08} = 68,099 + 425,407 = $493,506

the journal entries to record the annual lease payments:

December 31, 2019, annual lease payment

  • Dr Lease liability 68,099
  •     Cr Cash 68,099

December 31, 2020, annual lease payment

  • Dr Lease liability 34,066
  • Dr Interest expense 34,033
  •     Cr Cash 68,099

interest expense = ($493,506 - $68,099) x 8% = $34,033

December 31, 2020, depreciation expense

  • Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 49,351
  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 49,351

December 31, 2021, annual lease payment

  • Dr Lease liability 31,307
  • Dr Interest expense 36,792
  •     Cr Cash 68,099

interest expense = ($425,407 - $34,066) x 8% = $31,307

December 31, 2021, depreciation expense

  • Dr Depreciation expense - leased building 49,351
  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - leased building 49,351
