You are auditing the December 31, 2019 financial statements of Hockney, Inc., manufacturer of novelties and party favors. During your inspection of the company garage, you discovered that a used automobile not listed in the equipment subledger is parked there. You ask Stacy Reeder, plant manager, about the vehicle and she tells you that the company did not list the automobile because the company was only leasing it and elected to use the short-term lease accounting option for the lease. The lease agreement was entered into on January 1, 2019 with Crown New and Used Cars.
You decide to review the lease agreement to ensure that the lease should be afforded short-term lease treatment and you discover the following lease terms:
1. Non-cancelable term of 2 years.
2. Rent of $3,240 per year is due on Jan. 1.
3. Expected residual value after 2 years is $500. Hockneyguarantees the residual value of $500, which is equal to the expected residual value.
4. Estimated economic life of the automobile is 2.5 years.
5. Hockney's incremental borrowing rate is 8% (the implicit rate of the lessor is unknown).
