ACCOUNTING FOR LEASES BY LESSOR
a. The lease transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end
of the lease term.
b. The lessee has the option to purchase the underlying asset at a
price that is expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair value at
the date the option becomes exercisable for it to be reasonably
certain, at the inception date, that the option will be exercised.
c. The lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset
even if title is not transferred.
d. The present value of the lease payments amounts to at least
substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset at the inception
date.
e. The leased asset is of such a specialized nature that only the lessee
can use it without major modifications.
INDICATORS OF A FINANCE LEASE
Initial direct costs are included in the initial measurement of the net
investment in the lease and reduce the amount of income recognized
over the lease term.
Initial direct costs include commissions, legal fees and internal costs
that are incremental and directly attributable to negotiating and
arranging a lease.
FINANCE LEASE
ILLUSTRATION
A incurred initial direct costs of P20,000 in negotiating the lease. The implicit
interest rate is 12%.
Compute for the following:
a. Gross investment in the lease on January 1, 20x1
b. Net investment in the lease January 1, 20x1
c. Unearned interest income on January 1, 20x1
FINANCE LEASE
ILLUSTRATION
SEPARATE LEASE
A lease modification is accounted for as a separate lease if
both the scope and consideration in the lease are increased
due to the addition of a right to use one or more underlying
assets and the increase in the consideration reflects the
stand-alone price for the increase in scope.
No adjustment is made to the existing net investment from
the original contract.
LEASE MODIFICATIONS
Requirement:
1. Initial measurement
2. Subsequent measurement
OPERATING LEASE
Depreciation
-The leased asset remains the asset of the lessor. Therefore,
the lessor continues to depreciate it.
Lease bonus
-The lessor accounts for a lease bonus as unearned income
and recognize it as income over the lease term, on the same
basis as the lease income.
OPERATING LEASE
Advance rentals
-Advance rentals are accounted for as unearned income and
recognize it as income only when earned.
Security deposits
-A lessor recognizes a security deposit received from the
lessee as payable, measured as an amortized cost financial
liability.

adjustments shall be made to measure the sale proceeds at fair
value:

financing provided by the buyer-lessor to the seller-lessee.
