Lindy Corporation started operations in 2015 and leases itsretail space. The lease is for 20 years with annual payments of$98,491 starting on January 1, 2015. Using a 9% discount rate, thePV of the lease payments on January 1, 2015 was $980,000 - equal tothe FV of the property at that time. Lindy accounted for the leaseas an operating lease from inception. Lindy uses S-L depreciationfor all its assets and its income tax rate is 40%. Had Lindyaccounted for the lease as a capital lease it should have made thefollowing entries in 2015:

1/1 Leasedasset 980,000

Lease liability 980,000

Lease liability 98,491

Cash 98,491

12/31 Depreciation expense 49,000

Accum. Depr., LA 49,000

Interest expense 79,336

Lease liability 79,336

However, Lindy’s auditor believes that real estate leases suchas these should be accounted for as capital leases, and discoveredthe error after the books were closed in 2016. Prepare theappropriate 2016 journal entries to correct for this error assumingthe January 1, 2016 entry for the cash payment had already beenmade.
