JJ Corporation agrees on January 1, 2017, to lease equipment from Alpha, Inc. for 4 years. The lease calls for annual lease payments of $31,000 at the beginning of each year. The lease does not transfer ownership, contain a bargain-purchase option, and is not a specialized asset. In addition, the useful life of the equipment is 12 years, and the present value of the lease payments is less than 90% of the fair value of the equipment. Prepare JJ’s journal entries on January 1, 2017 (commencement of the operating lease), and on December 31, 2017. Assume the implicit rate used by the lessor is unknown, and JJ’s incremental borrowing rate is 5%. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided and round final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)
