Winston Industries and Ewing Inc. enter into an agreement that requires Ewing Inc. ton build three diesel-electric engines to Winston's specifications. Upon completion of the engines, Winston has agreed to lease them for a period of 8 years and to assume all costs and risks of ownership. The lease is noncancelable, becomes effective on January 1, 2014, and requires annual rental payments of $84,591 each January 1, starting January 1, 2014.

Winston's incremental borrowing rate is 12%. The implicit interest rate used by Ewing Inc. and known to Winston is 8%. The total cost of building the three engines is $450,000.

The economic life of the engines is estimated to be 8 years, with residual value set at zero.

Winston depreciates similar equipment on a straight-line basis. At the end of the lease, Winston assumes title to the engines. Collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably certain; no uncertainties exist relative to unreimbursable lessor costs.
