Problem 21-03 (Part Level Submission)

Cullumber Steel Company, as lessee, signed a lease agreement for equipment for 5 years, beginning December 31, 2020. Annual rental payments of $53,000 are to be made at the beginning of each lease year (December 31). The interest rate used by the lessor in setting the payment schedule is 7%; Cullumber’s incremental borrowing rate is 9%. Cullumber is unaware of the rate being used by the lessor. At the end of the lease, Cullumber has the option to buy the equipment for $5,000, considerably below its estimated fair value at that time. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years, with no salvage value. Cullumber uses the straight-line method of depreciation on similar owned equipment.

	Your answer is partially correct. Try again.

Prepare the journal entries, that Cullumber should record on December 31, 2020. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Round present value factor calculations to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and the final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 58,971.)
