AC Milan Sales and Service entered into a lease agreement to lease a fleet of six vehicles from FC Inter Motors. The term of the lease is five years and AC Milan makes annual payments of $30,000 per year beginning on 1 January 2019 (and then every 31 December through 31 December 2022). 1 January 2019 is also the lease commencement date. AC Milan does not guarantee any residual value in the lease agreement. AC Milan received $8,000 on 1 Jan 2019 as an incentive to sign the lease agreement and incurred initial direct costs in 2018 of $4,000 related to the lease that were recorded as prepaid assets. The estimated economic life of the vehicles is eight years and their fair value at lease commencement is $200,000. AC Milan is unaware of FC Inter's implicit rate, but AC Milan's incremental borrowing rate is 4% per year. There is no transfer of ownership at the end of the lease, nor is there a purchase option. The vehicles are not of a specialized nature.
