| 1. | The term of the noncancelable lease is 5 years with no renewal option. The equipment has an estimated economic life of 5 years. | |
| 2. | The fair value of the asset at January 1, 2017, is $83,100. | |
| 3. | The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term, at which time the asset is expected to have a residual value of $7,600, none of which is guaranteed. | |
