(Accounting for Short-Term Leases and Low-Value Leases) Wong Inc., the lessee, entered into two leases on July 1, 2023, with Pomerleau Corp. Both companies are public corporations following IFRS. The leases are for a large auger and a jackhammer that will be used on a construction site, and both parties would prefer to keep the accounting for each as simple as possible. Other relevant information is as follows: The term of the lease for the auger is six months with a monthly cost of $2,500 per month beginning July 1, 2023, with full payment of $15,000 due July 1, 2023. The lease for the jackhammer is for 18 months at $100 per month, with full payment of $1,800 due July 1, 2023. Pomerleau offered Wong the opportunity to purchase the auger for $36,500 and the jackhammer for $4,000. Wong chose to lease both instead. The useful life of the auger and jackhammer are both three years with no residual value. The stated interest rate for comparable leases is 6%. Instructions Discuss the suggested basis of accounting for the two leases for both the lessor and lessee. Prepare the journal entries for both parties on July 1 and December 31, 2023.
