What is the nature of this lease to Sage Hill? (financing or
operating)
What is the present value of the lease payments to determine the
lease liability?
Based on the original fact pattern, record the lease on Sage
Hill’s books at the date of commencement.
Record the first month’s lease payment (at commencement of the
lease).
Record the second month’s lease payment.
Record the first month’s amortization on Sage Hill’s books
(assume straight-line).
Suppose that instead of $1,190, Sage Hill expects the residual
value to be only $500 (the guaranteed amount is still $1,190). How
does the calculation of the present value of the lease payments
change from part (b)?
