Accounting for Leases 21 - 3

TRUE-FALSE—Conceptual
1. Leasing equipment reduces the risk of obsolescence to the lessee and in many cases
passes the risk of residual value to the lessor.

2. The IASB agrees with the capitalization approach and requires companies to capitalize all
long-term leases.

3. Minimum rental payments are the same as minimum lease payments.

4. Executory costs should be excluded by the lessee in computing the present value of the
minimum lease payments.

5. A capitalized leased asset is always depreciated over the term of the lease by the lessee.

6. A lessee only reports interest expense on its income statement in a finance lease.

7. A benefit of leasing to the lessor is the return of the leased property at the end of the lease
term.

8. In a finance lease, the lessee reports interest expense but not amortization expense on
the income statement.

9. If a lease does not transfer control of the asset over the lease term, the lessor will
generally account for the lease as a sales-type lease.

10. Direct-financing leases involve a third party in addition to the lessee.

11. Under an operating lease, the lessor records each lease receipt as part interest revenue
and part lease revenue.
12. In computing the annual lease payments, the lessor deducts only a guaranteed residual
value from the fair value of a leased asset.

13. If it is probable that the expected residual value is less than the guaranteed residual value,
the difference should be included in the computation of the lease liability.
14. Both a guaranteed and an unguaranteed residual value affect the lessee’s computation of
amounts capitalized as a leased asset.

15. When a lease has an unguaranteed residual value, the lessor reduces sales revenue and
cost of goods sold by the present value of the unguaranteed residual value.
16. If a lease includes a bargain purchase option, the lessee must increase the present value
of the lease payments by the purchase option price.

17. The basic difference between a direct-financing lease and a sales-type lease relates to
the recognition of the profit on the sale.
Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Sixteenth Edition

18. The gross profit amount in a sales-type lease is greater when a guaranteed residual value
exists.
19. For operating leases, a lessor defers the initial direct costs and amortizes them as
expenses over the term of the lease.

20. In a sale-leaseback arrangement the seller-lessee transfers an asset to the buyer-lessor


and then leases the asset back from the buyer-lessor.

BRIEF EXERCISES

BE. 21-108—Finance lease (Essay).


Explain a finance lease from a lessee’s perspective.

Solution 21-108

From the lessee’s perspective, a lessee should classify a lease based on whether the
arrangement is effectively a purchase of of the underlying asset. If the lessee transfers control (or
ownership) of the underlying asset to a lessee, then the lease is classified as a finance lease. In
this situation, the lessee takes ownership or consumes the substantial portion of the underlying
asset over the lease term.
For a finance lease, the lessee recognizes interest expense on the lease liability over the life of
the lease using the effective-interest method and records depreciation expense on the right-of-
use asset generally on a straight-line basis. A lessee therefore reports both interest expense and
depreciation of the right-of-use asset on the income statement. As a result, the total expense for
the lease transaction is generally higher in the earlier years of the lease arrangement under a
finance lease arrangement.

BE. 21-109—Finance lease amortization and journal entries.


Hughey Co. as lessee records a finance lease of machinery on January 1, 2018. The seven
annual lease payments of €875,000 are made at the end of each year. The present value of the
lease payments at 10% is €4,260,000. Hughey uses the effective-interest method of amortization
and sum-of-the-years’-digits depreciation (no residual value).

Instructions (Round to the nearest dollar.)

Maris Co. purchased a machine on January 1, 2018, for €2,500,000 for the express purpose of
leasing it. The machine is expected to have a five-year life, no salvage value, and be depreciated
on a straight-line monthly basis. On April 1, 2018, under a cancelable lease, Maris leased the
machine to Dunbar Company for €750,000 a year for a four-year period ending March 31, 2022.
Maris incurred total maintenance and other related costs under the provisions of the lease of
€25,000 relating to the year ended December 31, 2018. Harley paid €750,000 to Maris on April 1,
2018.

EXERCISES

Ex. 21-111—Lease classification tests.


What are the lease classification tests used to determine whether a lessor should use the finance
lease approach or the operating lease approach?

Solution 21-111
Lessors classify a lease as a finance lease if it meets one or more of the following tests:
(1) The lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee.
(2) The lease contains an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably
certain to exercise
(3) The lease term is a major part (75%) of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset
(4) The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any lessee residual value
guarantee equals or exceeds substantially all (90%) of the underlying asset’s fair value, and
(5) The lessor does not have an alternative use for the asset at the end of the lease.

Ex. 21-112—Direct-financing lease and sales-type lease.


Explain the differences between a direct-financing lease and a sales-type lease.

Solution 21-112

For a sales-type lease, the lessor accounts for the lease in a manner similar to the sale of an
asset. At lease commencement, the lessor takes the asset off the books and records a receivable
equal to the present value of the lease payments. Any dealer or manufacturer selling profit on the
transfer of the leased asset is recognized in income at commencement of the lease. The lessor
recognizes interest revenue on the lease receivable over the life of the lease using the effective-
interest method.
In a direct financing lease, the lessee does not obtain ownership control of the asset, but the
lessor relinquishes control. That is, the lessee controls use of the asset during the lease but will
return the asset to the lessor at the end of the lease. However, the lessor will recover the value of
the asset through lease payments plus the third-party residual value guarantee. In this situation,
rather than following operating lease accounting: (1) the lessor derecognizes the underlying asset
and recognizes a net investment in the lease (which consists of the lease receivable,
unguaranteed residual asset, and deferred gross profit), and (2) the lessor gross profit is deferred
and amortized into income over the lease term.

Hayes Corp. is a manufacturer of truck trailers. On January 1, 2018, Hayes Corp. leases ten
trailers to Lester Company under a six-year noncancelable lease agreement. The following
information about the lease and the trailers is provided:

1. Equal annual payments that are due on January 1 each year provide Hayes Corp. with an
8% return on net investment (present value factor for 6 periods at 8% is 4.99271).

2. Titles to the trailers pass to Lester at the end of the lease.

3. The fair value of each trailer is €60,000. The cost of each trailer to Hayes Corp. is €54,000.
Each trailer has an expected useful life of nine years.

4. Collectibility of the lease payments is probable.

Instructions
(a) What type of lease is this for the lessor? Discuss.
(b) Calculate the annual lease payment. (Round to nearest dollar.)
(c) Prepare a lease amortization schedule for Hayes Corp. for the first three years.
(d) Prepare the journal entries for the lessor for 2018 to record the lease agreement, the receipt
of the lease rentals, and the recognition of revenue (assume the use of a perpetual
inventory method and round all amounts to the nearest dollar).

Solution 21-113
(a) It is a sales-type lease to the lessor, Hayes Corp. Hayes’s (the manufacturer) profit upon
sale is €60,000, which is recognized in the year of sale (2018). It is not an operating lease
because title to the assets passes to the lessee, and the present value (€600,000) of the
lease payments equals or exceeds 90% (€540,000) of the fair value of the leased trailers.

(b) (€60,000 × 10) ÷ 4.99271 = €120,175.

Eubank Company, as lessee, enters into a lease agreement on July 1, 2018, for equipment. The
following data are relevant to the lease agreement:
1. The term of the noncancelable lease is 4 years. Payments of €978,446 are due on July 1 of
each year.
2. The fair value of the equipment on July 1, 2018 is €3,500,000. The equipment has an
economic life of 6 years with no salvage value.
3. Eubank depreciates similar machinery it owns on the sum-of-the-years’-digits basis.
4. The lessee pays all executory costs.
5. Eubank’s incremental borrowing rate is 10% per year. The lessee is aware that the lessor
used an implicit rate of 8% in computing the lease payments (present value factor for 4
periods at 8%, 3.57710; at 10%, 3.48685).

Instructions
(a) Indicate the type of lease Eubank Company has entered into and what accounting treatment
is applicable.
(b) Prepare the journal entries on Eubank’s books that relate to the lease agreement for the
following dates: (Round all amounts to the nearest dollar. Include a partial amortization

Pr. 21-117—Lessee accounting—finance lease.


Krause Company on January 1, 2018, enters into a nine-year noncancelable lease for equipment
having an estimated useful life of 10 years and a fair value to the lessor, Daly Corp., at the
inception of the lease of €4,000,000. Krause’s incremental borrowing rate is 8%. Krause uses the
straight-line method to depreciate its assets. The lease contains the following provisions:
1. Rental payments of €266,000 for property taxes, payable at the beginning of each six-month
period.
2. An option allowing the lessor to extend the lease one year beyond the lease term.
3. A guarantee by Krause Company that Daly Corp. will realize €200,000 from selling the asset
at the expiration of the lease. However, the actual residual value is expected to be €120,000.

Instructions
(a) What kind of lease is this to Krause Company?
(b) What should be considered the lease term?
(c) What is the present value of the lease payments (1) for classification of the lease and (2) for
measurement of the lease liability? (PV factor for annuity due of 20 semi-annual payments
at 8% annual rate, 14.13394; PV factor for amount due in 20 semi-annual interest periods at
8% annual rate, .45639.) (Round to nearest dollar.)
(d) What journal entries would Krause record during the first year of the lease? (Include an
amortization schedule through 1/1/19 and round to the nearest dollar.)

Solution 21-117
(a) This lease is a finance lease to Krause Company because its term (10 years—see
computation in b below) exceeds 75% of the equipment’s estimated useful life. In addition,
the present value (see computation in d below) of the minimum lease payments (see
computation in c below) exceeds 90% of the fair value of the equipment (€4,000,000).

(b) The lease term is:


Noncancelable period 9 years
Period covered by lessor extension option 1 year
10 years

(c) The minimum lease payments are:

(1) The present value of the lease payments is:


Factor for present value of an annuity due, 20 periods, 4% 14.13394
Semi-annual payments, net of executory costs × € 266,000
3,759,628
Factor for present value of $1 due in 20 interest periods at 4% .45639
Residual guarantee × €200,000 91,278
Present value of lease payments €3,850,906

(2) The present value of the lease payments for measurement of lease liability is:
Present value of rental payments (from above) € 3,759,628
Factor for present value of $1 due in 20 interest periods at 4% .45639
Residual guarantee less expected RV (200,000-120,000) × €80,000 36,511

Short Answer

6. Briefly describe some of the similarities and differences between GAAP and IFRS with
respect to the accounting for leases.

Solution: Although GAAP and IFRS for leasing are not identical, both the FASB and the
IASB decided that prior lease accounting did not provide the most useful, transparent, and
complete information about leasing transactions. In response, the FASB and IASB worked
together on a lease accounting project. The IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases in January
2016. Many of the requirements in the new FASB standard are the same as those in IFRS
16. The main differences between GAAP and IFRS under the new rules are in relation to
the lessee accounting model. Specifically, IFRS does not make a distinction between
finance leases and operating leases in the financial statements. As a result, lessees
account for all leases using the finance method.
The following are the key similarities and differences between GAAP and IFRS related to
the accounting for leases.
Similarities are:
 Both GAAP and IFRS share the same objective of recording leases by lessees and
lessors according to their economic substance—that is, according to the definitions
of assets and liabilities.
48 Test Bank for Intermediate Accounting, Sixteenth Edition

 Much of the terminology for lease accounting in IFRS and GAAP are the same.
 Both GAAP and IFRS require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and related
lease liability for leases with terms longer than one year.
 Under both IFRS and GAAP, lessors use the same general criteria (consistent with
the recent standard on revenue) to determine if there is transfer of control of the
underlying asset and if lessors classify leases as sales-type or operating.
 GAAP and IFRS use the same lessor accounting model for leases classified as
sales-type or operating.
 GAAP and IFRS have similar qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements for
lessees and lessors.
Differences are:
 There is no classification test for lessees under IFRS 16. Thus, lessees account for
all leases using the finance lease method—that is, leases classified as operating
leases under GAAP will be accounted for differently compared to IFRS (see example
in About the Numbers section below).
 IFRS allows alternative measurement bases for the right-of-use asset (e.g., the
revaluation model, in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant, and Equipment).
 In addition to the short-term lease exception, IFRS has an additional lessee
recognition and measurement exemption for leases of assets of low value (e.g.,
personal computers, small office furniture).
 IFRS does not include any explicit guidance on collectability of the lease payments
by lessors and amounts necessary to satisfy a residual value guarantee.
 IFRS does not distinguish between sales-type and direct financing leases for
lessors. Therefore, IFRS 16 permits recognition of selling profit on direct financing
leases at lease commencement.
