Question

Karla Salons leased equipment from Smith Co. on July 1, 2021, in a finance lease. The present value of the lease payments discounted at 8% was $58,000. Ten annual lease payments of $8,000 are due each year beginning July 1, 2021. Smith Co. had constructed the equipment recently for $53,000, and its retail fair value was $58,000. What amount of interest revenue from the lease should Smith Co. report in its December 31, 2021, income statement

Answer 1

Smith Co. should report $4,900 amount of interest revenue from the lease in its December 31, 2021, income statement.

What is interest revenue?

Interest revenue is the earnings that an entity receives from any investments it makes, or on debt it owns.

Explanation:- 6 month depreciation expense on leased equipment (July 1 to Dec 31) = Fair value of equipment / Estimated useful life *6/12

    = $58,000/10 *6/12

    = $2,900

Interest expense up to Dec 31, 2021 = (Total present value of lease payment - Lease payment on July1, 2021) *8% *6/12

    = ($58,000 - $8,000) * 8% * 6/12

    = $2,000

Hence, the total decrease in earnings in income statement would be $4,900( 2,900 depreciation + 2,000 interest expenses)

Therefore, the answer is $4,900.
