Asset $3,000,000

Lease Payable $3,000,000

Debit Credit

Lease Payable $195,774

Cash $195,774

Explanation:

To prepare the journal entry to record the lease we would have to calculate the present value of lease payments as follows:

present value of lease payments=$195,774*15.32380=$3,000.000

Therefore, the journal entry to record the lease would be:

Debit Credit

Asset $3,000,000

Lease Payable $3,000,000

Debit Credit

Lease Payable $195,774

Cash $195,774
