On December 31, 20X0, a company leases equipment for 8 years, its entire life. Payments are $10,000 per year on December 31 with the first one made immediately. The present value of these payments at the lessee's incremental borrowing rate of 10 percent per year is assumed to be $58,000. On the December 31, 20X0 balance sheet, what should this lessee report as its current liability for this lease?
Question
On December 31, 20X0, a company leases equipment for 8 years, its entire life. Payments are 58,000. On the December 31, 20X0 balance sheet, what should this lessee report as its current liability for this lease?
Solution
The current liability for the lease on the December 31, 20X0 balance sheet should be reported as $10,000.
Here's the step-by-step explanation:
-
The lease payments are made annually on December 31, and the first payment was made immediately on December 31, 20X0. This means that the first payment has already been made and is not a part of the current liability.
-
The next payment will be due on December 31, 20X1. This is a future obligation that will be due within the next year, so it is considered a current liability.
-
Since the annual lease payment is $10,000, this is the amount that should be reported as the current liability for the lease on the December 31, 20X0 balance sheet.
The present value of the lease payments and the incremental borrowing rate are not relevant for calculating the current liability. These factors are used to determine the total lease liability and the classification of the lease, but they do not affect the amount of the current liability.

A lessee enters into a five-year lease of a building which has a remaining useful life of ten years. Lease payments are $50,000 per annum, payable at the beginning of each year. The lessee incurs initial direct costs of $20,000 and receives lease incentives of $5,000. There is no transfer of the asset at the end of the lease and no purchase option. The interest rate implicit in the lease is not immediately determinable but the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is 5%. At the commencement date the lessee pays the initial $50,000, incurs the direct costs and receives the lease incentives. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining four payments:
On January 1, Year One, Green Company leases a machine for four years.
