Explanation:

This is an operating lease as the equipment returns to the firm at the end of the contract and it is below 75% of the useful life (2 years / 6 years = 33%)

amortization on the equipment:

(cost - salvage value ) / useful life

(105,000 - 0 )  / 6  = 17,500 per year

semiannual depreciation: 17,500 / 2 = 8,750
