Leases include hire purchase contracts (i.e, contracts for the hire of an asset which contain a provision giving the hirer an option to acquire title to the asset upon the fulfillment of agreed conditions) ys to the lessee, in Classification of Leases 1. Finance lease - is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset. 2. Operating lease — is a lease that does not that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset. The classification of a lease depends on the substance of the transaction rather than the form of the contract. Finance lease Any of the following would lead to a finance lease classification: a. The lease transfers otonership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term. Leases Bett. p, The lessee has the option to Purcha, expected to be sufficiently lower <. : the option becomes exercisable fort at the inception of the lease, that the (‘bargain purchase option’), «The ae ate for the major part of the economic life of the ass ¢ Is not transferred, A lease ualifies to be accounted for as finance lease if the a i" cancellable contract. Sonlegcts ie a!inen d. At the inception, of the lease, the present value of the minimum lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset. e, The leased assets are of such a specialized nature that only the lessee can use them without major modifications. f, The leased assets cannot easily be replaced by another asset. g. If the lessee can cancel the lease, the lessor’s losses associated with the cancellation are borne by the lessee. h. Gains or losses from the fluctuation in the fair value of the residual (leased asset) accrue to the lessee (for example in the form of a rent rebate equalling most of the sales proceeds at the end of the lease). The lessee has the ability to continue the lease for a secondary period at a rent that is substantially lower than market rent.

If the land element is immaterial, the land and buildings may be treated as a single unit and classified as finance oy operating lease. In such case, the economic life of the buildings js | Tegarded as the economic life of the entire leased asset. | > Inception of the lease - is the earlier of the date of the lease agreement and the date of commitment by the parties to the principal provisions of the lease. It is on this date that: a. A lease is classified as either an operating or a finance lease; and b. Inthe case of a finance lease, the amounts to be recognized at the commencement of the lease term are determined. > Commencement of the lease term — is the date from which the lessee is entitled to exercise its right to use the leased asset. It is on this date that any asset or liability resulting from the lease is initially recognized. Accounting for Finance lease by Lessees At the commencement date, a lessee recognizes the asset acquired under a finance lease and the related lease liability measured at the lower of the: a. fair value of the leased property at inception date; and b. present value of the minimum lease payments at inception date Minimum lease payments include the following: a. Rentals, excluding contingent rent, costs for services and taxes reimbursable to the lessor; b. Bargain purchase option; and c. Guaranteed residual value % Contingent rent — is lease payment that is not fixed in amount but rather based on the future amount of a factor that changes other than with the passage of time (e.g, percentage of futur? ll wee 323 sales, amount of future use, fu i * Future price indices, fu i , Fut rates of interest), Contingent Tent is recognized ire market the period incurred, gnized as expense in The mi imum lease Payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if this is determinable; if . th Jessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used. + if not, the Initial direct costs, such as costs incurred in negotiating and securing leasing arrangements, are capitolized as part of the asset recognized. ; The lease liability is subsequently measured similar to an amortized cost financial liability, Accordingly, the minimum lease payments are apportioried between interest expense and a reduction of the outstanding liability. Interest expense in each period reflects a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. The leased asset is accounted for similar to an owned asset, e.g:, as PPE or investment property. Accordingly, the leased asset is depreciated using the entity's existing depreciation policies. If there is no reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset shall be depreciated over the shorter of its useful life and the lease term. Accounting for Finance lease by Lessors A lessor recognizes the lease payments receivable under a finance lease at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Initial direct costs are included in the initial measurement of the finance lease receivable and reduce ‘the amount of revenue Tecognized over the lease term. The interest rate implicit in the lease is defined in such a way that the initial direct costs are induded automatically in the finance lease receivable. Therefore, there iso need to add the initial direct costs separately. ~ is the discount rate that, at the » ‘ oop Interest rate implicit in the lease epee oft inception of the lease, causes the aggregal 324 Chapter 13 | 1.

The lease receivable (net investment inthe lease) ag Subsequently measured similar to an amortized cost financial asset. Accordingly, the lease payments are applied against the gross investment in the lease to reduce both the principal and the ‘uneamed finance revenue. Mllustration: On January 1, 20x1, Lessee enters into a 4-year lease of machinery with Lessor. Ownership of the machinery will be transferred to Lessee at the end of the lease term. Annual rental payable at the end of each year is 100,000. The implicit interest rate, known to Lessee, is 10%. Lessee estimates that the remaining useful life of the machinery is 5 years.

Lessor incurs initial direct costs of 90,000 in negotiating the lease. The estimated useful life of the machine is 10 years with no residual value.
