7) Alpha Company has three components in their lease agreement: the building, the
equipment and the maintenance service. Total consideration in the contract is $500,000 per
year. Alpha Company has identified the following standalone prices:

Component Standalone Price


Building $400,000
Equipment 100,000
Maintenance/Service 50,000
Total $550,000

Calculate the percentages and allocate the consideration to each component.


Answer: As the total consideration in the contract is not equal to the sum of the standalone
prices, Alpha Company uses the relative standalone prices to allocate the total consideration
to each component. The $500,000 total consideration is allocated as follows: (Round
percentages to two decimal places.)

Standalone Allocated
Component Price Percentage Consideration
Building $400,000 72.73% $363,650

7) Prior to 2019, lessees did not include the right-of-use asset and the lease liability for
operating leases on their balance sheets. Both FASB and IASB wrote new standards to
require that lessees nearly always report an asset and liability on their balance sheets when
they engage in a lease transaction. This accounting results in which of the following?
A) a more reliable estimation of the lease's value

8) Kataran Company enters into a 4-year lease transaction, with payments due at the
beginning of each year.
The lease payments are $78,000 per year.
The fair value of the leased asset is $290,000.
The lessor's deferred initial direct costs are equal to $24,000.
The lessor's estimate of the unguaranteed residual asset is $115,000.

Based on the above information, what is the implicit rate in the lease for Kataran?
A) 11.48%
B) 21.81%
C) 14.77%
D) 16.54%
Answer: D
Explanation: Kataran should apply time value of money concepts to identify the terms
needed to solve for the implicit rate. The present value, PV, is the present value of the lease
payments plus the expected residual value which equals the fair value of the leased asset
plus the deferred initial direct costs:
Present Value of Lease Payments + Present Value of Estimated Residual Value
= $290,000 Fair Value of Leased Asset + $24,000 Initial Direct Costs = $314,000
The number of periods, N, is 4 years. The payments each period, PMT, are $78,000. The
future value, FV, is the residual value of $115,000. Using the RATE function in Excel,
(=RATE(4,78000,-314000,115000,1)), the implicit rate in the lease is 16.54%.

9) Kataran Company enters into a 4-year lease transaction, with payments due at the
beginning of each year.
The lease payments are $68,000 per year.
The fair value of the leased asset is $280,000.
The lessor's deferred initial direct costs are equal to $14,000.
The lessor's estimate of the unguaranteed residual asset is $125,000.
Based on the information above, what is the implicit rate?
Answer: Kataran should apply time value of money concepts to identify the terms needed to
solve for the implicit rate. The present value, PV, is the present value of the lease payments
plus the expected residual value which equals the fair value of the leased asset plus the
deferred initial direct costs:

10) Group I criteria provide guidance to operationalize the concept of ownership and control
of an asset. To meet the Group I criteria, a transaction only needs to meet one of the five
criteria. List those five criteria.
Answer:
1. The lease transfers ownership of the leased asset to the lessee at the end of the lease
term. If the lease transfers ownership, then the lessee firm has, in essence, purchased the
asset.
2. The lessee is given an option to purchase the asset that the lessee is reasonably certain
to exercise. For example, it might be reasonably certain that the lessee would exercise a
purchase option if the specified purchase price is well below the expected value of the
leased asset at the completion of the lease term.
3. The lease term is for a major part of the economic life of the asset. If the lease term
provides the lessee the use and control over substantially all of the asset's useful life, then
the agreement should be considered equivalent to purchasing the asset.
4. The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value the lessee
guarantees to pay (that is not otherwise included in the lease payments) is equal to
substantially all of the asset's fair value. The present value computation includes lease
payments in the renewal periods, if any. Meeting this criterion implies that the lessee is
providing the lessor compensation that is equivalent to the purchase of the asset.
5. The leased asset is of a specialized nature. An asset with a specialized nature has no
alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. Because the asset has no
alternative use to the lessor, its specialized nature implies that the lessor must have
transferred control over the asset to the lessee.

11) List the three additional indicators that IFRS recognizes individually or in combination
that could lead to classifying a lease as a finance lease.
Answer:
1. The lessee bears the lessor's losses if the lessee cancels the lease.
2. The lessee absorbs the gains or losses from fluctuations in the fair value of the residual
value of the asset.
3. The lessee may extend the lease for a secondary period at a rent substantially below the
market rent in a renewal option.

Leewin incurs initial direct costs of $1,100.
Assuming that this is classified as an operating lease, how much amortization is recorded on
the right-of-use asset in 2019?
A) $11,612
B) $0
C) $13,180
D) $1,568
Answer: A
Explanation: Amortization is the difference between the lease expense for the year and
interest for the year. To calculate the annual lease expense, the first step is to calculate the
total payments over the life of the lease, which include prepaid and annual payments and
initial direct costs. Total payments are $10,800 + (5 × $10,800) + $1,100 = $65,900.
Annual lease expense is calculated by allocating this amount equally over the 5-year lease
life, $65,900 / 5 = $13,180. Interest for 2019 is calculated based on the lease liability
reduced by the first payment of 5 times the interest rate. The lease liability is calculated as
the present value of the future payments. Using Excel, the present value of the future lease
payments, based on a rate of 4%, 5 periods, and payments at the beginning of each period
of $10,800, is $50,003. ($50,003 - $10,800) × 4% = $1,568. Therefore, amortization is
$13,180 - $1,568 = $11,612.

35) On January 1, 2018, Jones AutoWorld, Inc. leases an SUV to Mains Company. The lease
term is 4 years with no renewal options and the economic life of the SUV is 7 years. The fair
value of the automobile is $65,000 and Jones' cost or carrying value is also $65,000. There
are no lease incentives. The lease calls for monthly payments of $800 at the end of each
month. Mains incurs initial direct costs of $2,400 on January 1, 2018. The implicit rate in the
lease is 5%. There is no transfer of ownership at the end of the lease term. Lease payment
collection is probable.
To determine whether Jones, the lessor, should classify the lease as operating, direct
financing, or sales-type, we assess both Group I and Group II criteria. Complete the below
table and draw a conclusion about how the lease should be classified.

Group I Criteria Met? Explanation


Transfer of ownership?
Purchase option likely to be exercised?
Lease term major part of economic life?
Present value substantial part of fair
value?
Asset is specialized?

Group II Criteria
Present value including third-party
guarantees substantially all of fair value?
Lease payment collection probable?

Answer: We have information to assess all of the criteria except for the fourth criterion of
Group I. The present value of an ordinary annuity of the 48 remaining lease payments of
$800 at a discount rate of 0.4167% per period (5%/12) is $34,738. The Excel formula is:
=PV(.004166667,48,-800) = $34,738.

Group I Criteria Met? Explanation


Transfer of ownership? No
Purchase option likely to be exercised? No
The lease term is 57% (4 yrs/7
Lease term major part of economic life? No yrs) of economic life
Present value substantial part of fair The PV of $34,738 is 53% of the
value? No $65,000 fair value.
Asset is specialized? No

Group II Criteria
Present value including third-party
guarantees substantially all of fair The PV of $34,738 is 53% of fair
value? No value.
Lease payment collection probable? Yes

The lease does not meet the Group I or both of the Group II criteria and thus it is an
operating lease.

3) Nace Manufacturing Company leased a piece of nonspecialized equipment for use in its
operations from Righteous Leasing on January 1, 2019. The 10-year lease requires lease
payments of $4,000, beginning on January 1, 2019, and at each December 31 thereafter
through 2027. The equipment is estimated to have a 10-year life, is depreciated on the
straight-line basis and will have no residual value at the end of the lease term. Nace's
incremental borrowing rate is 11%. Initial direct costs of $1,000 are incurred by the lessee
on January 1, 2019. Righteous Leasing acquired the asset just prior to the lease term at a
cost of $27,000. Collection of all lease payments is reasonably assured.
What is the proper classification of the lease to Nace?
A) Sales-type lease
B) Finance lease
C) Operating lease
D) Either A or B
Answer: B
Explanation: The lease is classified as a finance lease as the lease term is equal to the
asset's useful life and because the present value of the lease payments is 97% of the fair
value of the asset. Using Excel, the formula is =PV(.11,10,-4000,0,1) = $26,148. Calculation:
$26,148/$27,000 = 97%.

9) Describe the accounting for a finance lease by the lessee if the lessee provides a residual
value guarantee.
Answer: If the lessee provides a residual value guarantee, the lessee includes the present
value of the residual value guarantee in the initial measurement of the lease liability. As is
the case with an operating lease, if the residual value is guaranteed by a third party or is
unguaranteed, then the residual value does not impact the lessee's accounting treatment.

11) Since IFRS makes an exception for leased assets that have low values, reporters may
account for leased assets with values of less than $5,000 as a rental agreement rather than
recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For example, suppose a company
leases a $4,800 computer for 2.5 years. How does IFRS differ from how U.S. GAAP would
record this?
Answer: Under U.S. GAAP, the company records a right-of-use asset and a lease liability
because the lease term is greater than 1 year. Under IFRS, the company does not record the
right-of-use asset and a lease liability because the value of the leased asset is less than
$5,000, and it is a simple rental agreement.

23) With respect to lessees, how do IFRS and U.S. GAAP differ in the accounting treatment of
operating and finance leases?
Answer: The primary difference in IFRS and U.S. GAAP related to lessee accounting is that
IFRS does not distinguish operating from finance leases in the same way that U.S. GAAP
does. Under IFRS, lessees use the same accounting treatment for both types of leases.
Specifically, IFRS uses the U.S. GAAP accounting for finance leases for both operating and
finance leases. Thus, under IFRS, lessees report interest expense and amortization expense
on all leases.
In addition to the short-term policy election to account for a lease as a rental agreement,
IFRS makes an exception for leased assets that have low values. IFRS reporters may account
for leased assets with original costs of less than $5,000 as rental agreements.

13) Northern Equipment leases cooling towers to Warmup Corporation. The equipment is not
specialized and is delivered on January 1, 2019. The fair value of the equipment is $180,000.
The cost of the equipment to Northern is $170,000 and the expected life of the testing
equipment is 8 years. At the end of the useful life, it is expected that the equipment will
have a residual value of $20,000, although the lessee guarantees only $15,000. Northern
incurs initial direct costs of $20,000, which they elect to expense. The lease term for the
equipment is 8 years, with the first payment due upon delivery, and seven subsequent
annual payments beginning on December 31, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2025.
Northern's implicit rate is 8% and they expect that collection of the $30,000 payments is
probable. The lease is properly classified as a sales-type lease.
What is Northern's implicit rate for the lease? (Round any intermediate calculations to the
nearest dollar, and round your final percentage two decimal places, X.XX%.)
A) 9.64%
B) 9.85%
C) 7.6%
D) 7.33%
Answer: B
Explanation: Because the lease contains a residual value, the implicit rate must be
recalculated including the residual amount as a future value. Using Excel, the first step is to
calculate the present value of the future lease payments, using the following formula in
Excel: =PV(8%,8,30000,0,1) = $186,191. This value is used in a rate calculation, using this
amount as the present value and the residual value as the future value. Using the Excel
formula =RATE(8,30000,-186191,20000,1), the new implicit rate is 9.85%.

What is the amount of the lease receivable? (Round any present value calculations to the

A) $165,251
B) $180,000
C) $167,674
D) $172,326
Answer: A
Explanation: The lease receivable is the present value of the payments and any guaranteed
residual value, using the recomputed implicit rate.
Because the lease contains a residual value, the implicit rate must be recalculated including
the residual amount as a future value. Using Excel, the first step is to calculate the present
value of the future lease payments, using the following formula in Excel:
=PV(8%,8,27000,0,1) = $167,572. This value is used in a rate calculation, using this amount
as the present value and the residual value as the future value. Using the Excel formula
=RATE(8,27000,-167572,20000,1), the new implicit rate is 10.04%.

The lease receivable is calculated using the new implicit rate, payments as outlined in the
lease, and a future value equal to the guaranteed residual value. Using the formula
=PV(10.04%,8,27000,15000,1), the lease receivable is $165,251.

A) $134,270
B) $180,000
C) $167,744
D) $172,256
Answer: C
Explanation: Cost of goods sold will be the cost of the equipment to Northern less the
present value of the unguaranteed residual value at the implicit rate. Using Excel, the
present value of the unguaranteed residual value is calculated as =PV(10.46%,8,0,5000) =

23) How does a residual value affect accounting for a sales-type lease?
Answer: Including residual values has two implications for lease accounting. First, it
changes the implicit rate in the lease, which is defined as the interest rate at which the
present value of the lease payments plus the present value of the amount that a lessor
expects to derive from the leased asset at the end of the lease term equals the sum of the
asset's fair value plus any deferred initial direct costs of the lessor.
Second, the cost of goods sold is affected only by an unguaranteed residual value.
Specifically, the cost of goods sold is defined as the carrying value of the leased asset less
the present value of any unguaranteed residual asset plus any deferred initial direct costs of
the lessor. As a result, the inclusion of a residual value guarantee does not impact cost of
goods sold; only the inclusion of an unguaranteed residual asset reduces cost of goods sold.

Northern Equipment
Northern Equipment leases cooling towers to Warmup Corporation. The equipment is not
specialized and is delivered on January 1, 2019. The fair value of the equipment is $180,000.
The cost of the equipment to Northern is $170,000 and the expected life of the testing
equipment is 8 years. At the end of the useful life, it is expected that the equipment will
have a residual value of $20,000, although the lessee guarantees only $15,000. Northern
incurs initial direct costs of $20,000, which they elect to expense. The lease term for the
equipment is 8 years, with the first payment due upon delivery, and seven subsequent
annual payments beginning on December 31, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2025.
Northern's implicit rate is 8% and they expect that collection of the $29,002 payments is
probable. The lease is properly classified as a sales-type lease.

24) Calculate Northern's implicit rate for the lease.


Answer: Because the lease contains a residual value, the implicit rate must be recalculated
including the residual amount as a future value. Using Excel, the first step is to calculate the
present value of the future lease payments, using the following formula in Excel:
=PV(8%,8,29002,0,1) = $179,997. This value is used in a rate calculation, using this amount
as the present value and the residual value as the future value. Using the Excel formula
=RATE(8,29002,-179997,20000,1), the new implicit rate is 9.91%.

25) What is the amount of the lease receivable?


Answer: The lease receivable is the present value of the payments and any guaranteed
residual value, using the recomputed implicit rate.
Because the lease contains a residual value, the implicit rate must be recalculated including
the residual amount as a future value. Using Excel, the first step is to calculate the present
value of the future lease payments, using the following formula in Excel: =PV(8%,8,
29002,0,1) = $179,997. This value is used in a rate calculation, using this amount as the
present value and the residual value as the future value. Using the Excel formula
=RATE(8,29002,-179997,20000,1), the new implicit rate is 9.91%.
The lease receivable is calculated using the new implicit rate, payments as outlined in the
lease, and a future value equal to the guaranteed residual value. Using the formula
=PV(9.91%,8,29002,15000,1), the lease receivable is $177,659.

26) What amount will be recorded for cost of goods sold?


Answer: Cost of goods sold will be the cost of the equipment to Northern less the present

of the unguaranteed residual value is calculated as =PV(9.91%,8,0,5000) = $2,348 and cost
of goods sold is $167,652.
Because the lease contains a residual value, the implicit rate must be recalculated including
the residual amount as a future value. Using Excel, the first step is to calculate the present
value of the future lease payments, using the following formula in Excel: =PV(8%,8,

8) On January 1, 2019, Precision Pumps leases nonspecialized pumping equipment to Mega


Construction. The equipment is delivered on January 1. The lease term is 4 years with no
renewal or purchase options, and title to the leased asset is retained by the lessor at the end
of the lease term. The lease requires annual fixed rental payments of $7,000 per year
beginning on January 1, 2019, and then December 31 of each year starting on December 31,
2019. The fair value of the equipment is $37,592 and has a carrying amount on Precision's

value of the equipment is $15,000. The lessee does not guarantee the residual value, but
Precision secured an unrelated third party to guarantee $15,000; collection of this
guaranteed residual value and lease payments are reasonably certain. The rate implicit in
the lease is 6%. There are no prepaid rentals, and neither party to the agreement pays initial

15) Assuming that Precision Pumps classifies this lease as a direct financing lease, prepare
the journal entries for the commencement of the lease and the payment of the first and
second lease payments.
Answer:
Commencement of the lease
January 1, 2019 Net Investment in Lease–Direct Financing22,000
Inventory of Equipment 22,000

First lease payment


January 1, 2019 Cash 7,000
Net Investment in Lease — Direct Financing 7,000

Second lease payment


December 31, 2019 Cash 7,000
Interest Revenue 6,016
Net Investment in Lease — Direct Financing 984

Sales revenue and net investment in the lease are calculated as the present value of the
lease payments plus the guaranteed residual. The present value of the lease payments and
third-party guarantees can be calculated in Excel, =PV(6%,4,7000,15000,1) = $37,592. The
Sales Revenue is the lower of the lease receivable or fair value of the asset. Revenue is
$37,592. Cost of goods sold is the carrying value of the leased asset less the present value
of unguaranteed residual value. Cost of goods sold is $22,000. The Profit is Sales Revenue
$37,592 — Cost of Goods Sold $22,000 = $15,592. In the case of a direct financing lease,
the profit is deferred and it reduces the net investment. The net investment is the present
value of lease payments less the deferred profit, which equals $37,592 - $15,592 = $22,000.
A new interest rate must be determined. Using Excel, the formula is: =Rate(4,7000,-
22000,15000,1) = 40.1072%. Since the first lease payment is made on the date on which
the lease commences, the entire payment reduces the net investment in lease and there is
no interest. As a result, the balance in the net investment in lease after the first payment is
$15,000. Interest of $15,000 × 40.1072% = $6,016. From the $7,000 payment, $6,016
represents interest and $984 reduces the principal balance to $14,016.

16) How does IFRS differ from U.S. GAAP for direct financing leases?
Answer: IFRS does not distinguish sales-type leases from direct financing leases. IFRS
classifies leases based on whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred
to the lessee. If the risks and rewards have been transferred, IFRS classifies the lease as a
finance lease.
The lessor's accounting for IFRS finance leases is similar to the U.S. GAAP accounting for
sales-type leases. There are two types of lessors under IFRS: (1) manufacturers and dealers
and (2) everyone else. Under IFRS, at the lease commencement manufacturers and dealers
report a profit computed the same way as lessors compute profit under U.S. GAAP.
Manufacturers and dealers always immediately expense initial direct costs. All other lessors
do not recognize a profit at lease commencement and defer initial direct costs.

6) On January 1, 2019, Murray Manufacturing leased a building for use in its operations from
Associated Realty. The 7-year, noncancellable lease requires annual lease payments of
$17,000, beginning January 1, 2019, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2024.
The lease payment includes costs related to property taxes of $2,000. They also include
payments for common area maintenance. The observable standalone price for the lease
(including the property taxes) is $15,000 and the observable standalone price for the
common area maintenance is $4,000.
In addition, Murray agrees to pay insurance on the building. Murray pays the insurance each

year when it receives an invoice from Associated Realty for the insurance amount. On
December 15, 2019, Murray was billed and paid $2,500 for this insurance. Murray does not
make the election to account for each separate lease component, along with its associated
nonlease components, as a single lease component.
The lease agreement does not transfer ownership, nor does it contain a purchase option.
The building has a fair value of $87,000 and an estimated remaining life of 8 years.
Associated Realty's implicit rate of 10% is known to Murray. Round percentages to one

A) $17,000
B) $13,000
C) $13,413
D) $12,938
Answer: C
Explanation: Insurance is a variable expense that is not dependent on an index or a rate
and is not included in the computation of the lease payment or lease liability. Common area
maintenance is a nonlease component, so the $17,000 must be allocated to the lease and
nonlease components.

7) On January 1, 2019, Murray Manufacturing leased a building for use in its operations from
Associated Realty. The 7-year, noncancellable lease requires annual lease payments of
$22,000, beginning January 1, 2019, and at each December 31 thereafter through 2024.
The lease payment includes costs related to property taxes of $2,000. They also include
payments for common area maintenance. The observable standalone price for the lease
(including the property taxes) is $20,000 and the observable standalone price for the
common area maintenance is $4,000.
In addition, Murray agrees to pay insurance on the building. Murray pays the insurance each
year when it receives an invoice from Associated Realty for the insurance amount. On

The building has a fair value of $80,000 and an estimated remaining life of 8 years.
Associated Realty's implicit rate of 10% is known to Murray. Round percentages to one

Assuming this is classified by Murray as a finance lease, at what amount should the right-of-
use asset and lease liability be recorded?
A) $117,816
B) $96,395
C) $18,326
D) $98,141
Answer: D
Explanation: The right-of-use asset and lease liability will be recorded at the present value
of the lease payments. See computation of lease payment below. Use Excel to calculate the
present value, given 7 periods, 10% interest, and a payment of $18,326, with payments at
the beginning of the period. Using Excel, the formula is: =PV(.10,7,-18326,0,1) = $98,141.
Insurance is a variable expense that is not dependent on an index or a rate and is not
included in the computation of the lease payment or lease liability. Common area
maintenance is a nonlease component, so the $22,000 must be allocated to the lease and
nonlease components.

11) Elliott Brothers enters into a lease agreement with Central Leasing for a piece of
equipment. The terms of the 5-year lease state that payments of $22,500 will be made
annually on January 1, commencing with the date that the lease begins. The lease contains a
provision that Elliott Brothers may purchase the equipment at the end of the lease period for
$16,000, which is well below the expected fair value at the end of the lease. As such, it is
expected that Elliott Brothers will exercise this option. The implicit rate in the lease is 10%. If
this lease is treated as a finance lease for Elliott Brothers, at what value will the right-of-use
asset be recorded?
A) $103,757
B) $9,935
C) $93,822
D) $85,293
Answer: A
Explanation: The right-of-use asset will be valued at the sum of the present value of the
lease payments and the present value of the purchase option at lease termination. The
present value of the 5 lease payments is $93,822, calculated using the following Excel
formula: =PV(10%,5,-22500,0,1). The present value of the purchase option at the end of 5
years is $9,935, calculated using the following Excel formula: =PV(10%,5,0,-16000). The
sum of these two amounts is $103,757 (rounded). Alternatively, the Excel formula is:
=PV(.0.1,5,-22500,-16000,1)= $103,757.

14) Assume that Constance Industries leases equipment for 3 years with fixed rentals of
$10,000 per year. The agreement also requires that Constance purchase consumables such
as drive belts, etc. directly from the lessor and must spend a minimum of $1,500 per year
over the lease term. What are the lease payments to be used to classify the lease?
Answer: In this case, the $1,500 per year is unavoidable and therefore at the lease
commencement date, the annual payments are $11,500 ($10,000 + $1,500). The total lease
payments over the lease term consists of $34,500 total rentals, which are computed as
$30,000 ($10,000 per year for 3 years) plus the $4,500 ($1,500 minimum guaranteed
payments per year for 3 years for repair parts).

Wynn Manufacturing
On January 1, 2019, Wynn Manufacturing leased a floor of a building for use in its North
American operations from Easymoney Bank. The 9-year, noncancellable lease requires
annual lease payments of $12,000, beginning January 1, 2019, and at each December 31
thereafter through 2026.

The lease payment includes costs related to property taxes of $3,000. They also include
payments for common area maintenance. The observable standalone price for the lease
(including the property taxes) is $16,000 and the observable standalone price for the
common area maintenance is $2,000.

In addition, Wynn agrees to pay insurance on the floor of the building. Wynn pays the
insurance each year when it receives an invoice from Easymoney Bank for the insurance
amount. On December 15, 2019, Wynn was billed and paid $1,500 for this insurance. Wynn
does not make the election to account for each separate lease component, along with its
associated nonlease components, as a single lease component.

The lease agreement does not transfer ownership, nor does it contain a purchase option.
The floor of the building has a fair value of $85,000 and an estimated remaining life of 10
years. Easymoney Bank's implicit rate of 11% is known to Wynn. Round percentages to two
