On January 1, 2018, Burrito Bill's Leased Restaurant Equipment from Oval

On January 1, 2018, Burrito Bill's leased restaurant equipment from Oval Corporation under a twelve-year lease agreement. The lease agreement specifies annual payments of $75,000 beginning January 1, 2018, the beginning of the lease, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2025. The equipment was acquired recently by Oval at a cost of $540,000 (its fair value) and was expected to have a useful life of 17 years with no salvage value at the end of its life. (Because the lease term is only 12 years, the asset does have an expected residual value at the end of the lease term of $33,684.) Oval seeks a 10% return on its lease investments. By this arrangement, the lease is deemed to be an operating lease.
