Answer:
the journal entry to record the signing of the lease agreement:
December 31, 2019, lease agreement signed
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}
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
December 31, 2020, annual lease payment
interest expense = ($493,506 - $68,099) x 8% = $34,033
December 31, 2020, depreciation expense
December 31, 2021, annual lease payment
interest expense = ($425,407 - $34,066) x 8% = $31,307
December 31, 2021, depreciation expense
