At the beginning of its fiscal year, Lakeside Inc. leased office space to LTT Corporation under a seven-year
operating lease agreement. The contract calls for quarterly rent payments of $25,000 each. The office building
was acquired by Lakeside at a cost of $2 million and was expected to have a useful life of 25 years with no residual value. What will be the effect of the lease on Lakeside’s earnings for the first year (ignore taxes)?
