On January 1, 2014, New Port News Company leased equipment from Scanner Company. The lease had a non-cancelable ten-year term and required annual lease payments of $19,000 to be paid on January 1 of each year with the first payment due January 1, 2014. The annual payment includes $1,000 for executory costs. New Port News guarantees a $15,000 residual value at the end of the lease term. The estimated economic life of the equipment is 12 years. The fair value of the equipment on January 1, 2014 is $140,000. New Port News's incremental borrowing rate is 10%, and Scanner's implicit interest rate is 9%, which is known by New Port News. Present value factors for interest rates of 9% and 10% are as follows:

New Port News uses straight-line depreciation for its plant assets.
