Solution 16.1

a.

A customer enters into a five-year contract with an aviation company for the exclusive use of a
corporate jet. The contract details the exterior and interior specifications. The aviation
company is permitted to use an alternative jet, but this would be uneconomical because of the
cost of customising the aircraft. The customer decides where the jet will fly, and which
passengers will use it. The crew supplied by aviation company.

Does the contract contain a lease?

a) Yes
b) No

 Identified asset?
 Yes
 The contract specifies an executive jet
 Aviation company’s right to substitute another aircraft is not substantive as it is uneconomical
 Right to obtain economic benefits?
 Yes
 Right to direct use of asset?
 Yes
 Customer decides where the jet will fly and which passengers will sue it

Thus, contract does contain a lease

b.

A car manufacturer enters into a contract with a shipping company to transport cars from
Southampton to Cape Town. The contract specifies a particular ship and the cars to be
transported, which use the full capacity of the ship .The shipping company operates and
maintains the ship. The car manufacturer is not able to make changes to the destination or to
the cargo once the contract is signed.

Does the contract contain a lease?

a) Yes
b) No

 Identified asset?
 Yes
 The contract specifies a particular ship
 Right to obtain economic benefits?
 Yes
 Right to direct use of asset?
 No

c.

On 1 January 20X6, a company entered into a three-year lease for the use of office printers.
The lease contract requires an advance payment of C400 on 1 January 20X6 and three annual
instalments of C600 in arrear on 31 December 20X6, 20X7 and 20X8.

The lease qualifies for the low-value lease exemption.

For the year ended 31 December 20X6, the financial statements of the lessee will report the
following:

a) Lease expense of C733 and a lease prepaid of C267


b) Lease expense of C600 and a lease prepaid of C400
c) Lease expense of C733 and a lease accrual of C267
d) Lease expense of 600 and a lease accrual of C400
e) Lease expense of C1 000 and no lease prepaid or lease accrued

C400 + (C600 x 3yrs) = C2 200


C2 200 / 3 yes = C733 lease expense per year

Solution 16.2

Part A

At the inception of a contract, an entity is required to assess whether the contract is a lease or
contains a lease. This will be the case if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. IFRS 16.9

A contract can be a lease (or contain a lease) only if


• The underlying asset is identified
• The entity can control the use of the identified asset by having the right to
• Obtain all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset, and
• Direct the use of the identified asset. IFRS16.B9

An asset can be either explicitly specified in a contract or implicitly specified at the time it is
made available for use by the lessee. IFRS 16.B13 The vehicles here are explicitly specified as the
contract specifies the model and capacity of the vehicles.

Dark & White Limited has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits
throughout the period of use. It has the exclusive use of the vehicles, including when they are
not being used to transport goods (such as for storage).

Dark & White Limited also has the right to direct the use of the vehicles, including the
transporting goods of other manufacturers.

The arrangement thus does contain a lease. Big Deal Limited would recognise a right of use
asset and a corresponding liability.

Note that substitution rights are likely to be an important factor to consider in applying the lease
definition. Some element of substitution is often allowed in the leases of certain items, such as
fleets of vehicles, copiers and similar equipment.

• The underlying asset is identified
• The entity can control the use of the identified asset by having the right to
• Obtain all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset, and

An asset can be either explicitly specified in a contract or implicitly specified at the time it is
made available for use by the lessee. IFRS 16.B13 The vehicles here are explicitly specified as the
contract specifies the model and capacity of the vehicles.

However, even if an asset is specified, a lessee does not control the use of an identified asset if
the lessor has a substantive right to substitute the asset for an alternative asset during the lease
term. IFRS 16.B14

A lessor’s substitution right is substantive if


• the lessor has the practical ability to substitute the asset, and
• the lessor would benefit economically from exercising its rights to substitute the asset. IFRS
16.B14

In this scenario, the benefits to Wheels Limited of substituting the vehicles are greater than the
costs because
• the vehicles are parked at Wheels Limited’s premises
• Wheels Limited has a large pool of similar vehicles
• the substitution costs are minimal.

Wheels Limited’s substitution rights are substantive and the arrangement does not contain a
lease. The payments made by Wheels Limited would be recognised as an expense in the
statement of comprehensive income. No asset or related liability would be recognised.

A discussion of the economic benefits from, and right to use the vehicles is not relevant here
because of the substantive substitution rights.

Note that substitution rights are likely to be an important factor to consider in applying the lease
definition. Some element of substitution is often allowed in the leases of certain items, such as
fleets of vehicles, copiers and similar equipment.

Solution 16.3

Part A

At the inception of a contract, an entity is required to assess whether the contract is a lease or
contains a lease. This will be the case if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. IFRS 16.9

An asset can be either explicitly specified in a contract or implicitly specified at the time it is
made available for use by the lessee. IFRS 16.B13 The strands are distinct and are specified in the
contract and are separate from other strands within the cable.

Interdata Limited cannot substitute the strands, other than for the purposes of repairs and
maintenance.

Hello Limited can control the use of the strands throughout the twenty year period because
• It has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the strands over the
period of use.
• It has the right to direct the use of the strands because it decides the type and quantity of
data that will be transported and is responsible for the technical connections to its
equipment.

The arrangement thus does contain a lease. Hello Limited would recognise a right of use asset
and a corresponding liability.

Note that the requirement that a portion of an asset can meet the identifiability criterion can be
seen as a potential ‘anti-avoidance’ provision of the standard. Without this, a contract could
exclude a small portion of an asset’s capacity, and thus not meet the identifiability criterion.

An asset can be either explicitly specified in a contract or implicitly specified at the time it is

by Hello Limited is not physically distinct from the remaining capacity of the cable and does
not represent substantially all of the capacity of the cable. IFRS 16.B20

Further, Hello Limited cannot control the use of the strands throughout the twenty year period
because Interdata Limited makes all decisions about the transmissions of its customers’ data.

The arrangement thus does not contain a lease.

Note that if the contract specified an amount of capacity equivalent to say 950 strands of fibre
within the 1 000 strand cable, the contract would contain a lease as this represents substantially
all of the cable’s capacity.

Solution 16.4

Part A

A contract can be a lease (or contain a lease) only if


• The underlying asset is identified
• The entity can control the use of the identified asset by having the right to
• Obtain all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset, and
• Direct the use of the identified asset. IFRS16.B9

There is an identified asset as the ship is explicitly specified in the contract.

Big Red Limited has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use
of the ship. The cargo of apples will occupy substantially all of the ship’s capacity, thus
preventing others from obtaining economic benefits from the use of the ship.

A customer has the right to direct the use of an identified asset when
• It has the right to decide how and for what purpose the asset is used, or
• If relevant decisions about use of the asset are pre-determined,
• the customer has the right to operate the asset, or
• the customer designed the asset in a way that predetermines its use. IFRS 16.B24

Big Red Limited does not have the right to direct the use of the ship as it does not have the right
to direct how and for what purpose the ship is being used. The journey from Cape Town to
Southhampton transporting the apples is predetermined in the contract. Big Red Limited also
does not have the right to operate the ship and did not design the ship in a way that
predetermined its use. In effect, Big Red has the same rights relating to the use of the ship as
if it were only one of a number of customers transporting cargo on the ship.

The contract therefore does not contain a lease.

There is an identified asset as the ship is explicitly specified in the contract.

Big Red Limited has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use
of the ship over the three year period. It also has exclusive use of the ship throughout the period
of use, thus preventing others from obtaining economic benefits from the use of the ship.

A customer has the right to direct the use of an identified asset when
• It has the right to decide how and for what purpose the asset is used, or
• If relevant decisions about use of the asset are pre-determined,
• the customer has the right to operate the asset, or
• the customer designed the asset in a way that predetermines its use. IFRS 16.B24

The restrictions of sailing the ship into waters at high risk of piracy and the carrying of
unsuitable cargo are known as protective rights. Such protective rights typically define the
scope of the lessee’s right to use the asset, but do not, in isolation, prevent the lessee from
having the right to direct the use of the asset.

Big Red Limited has the right to direct the use of the ship as it has the right to direct how and
for what purpose the ship is being used. It determines the quantity, grade and packaging of the
apples and can use spare capacity for other produce and can decide on the departure and arrival
ports.

The contract therefore does contain a lease and will be recognised as a right of use asset with a
corresponding liability.

Solution 16.5

A lessee may elect not to apply the recognition requirements of IFRS 16 Leases (recognise a
right to use asset and a corresponding lease liability) in respect of
• Short-term leases
• Low value asset leases IFRS 16.5

A short-term lease is defined as a lease that, at the commencement date has a lease term of 12
months or less. IFRS 16 (Appendix A)

At the commencement of the lease, a lessee considers all the relevant facts and circumstances
that create an economic incentive to exercise or forfeit options to renew the lease or terminate
it early. IFRS 16.B37

As Point to Point Limited has the right to terminate the lease at the end of the first and second
years, that right must be considered in determining the lease term. IFRS 16.B35

This lease will qualify for the short term election as


• There is no termination penalty
• The rentals in the second and third years are not below market
• The changing market for airport transfers may result in the existing 25 seater busses not
being suitable for the three year period.

Point to Point Limited thus has an accounting policy choice – to apply the IFRS 16 recognition
requirements or to recognise the lease payments as an expense on a straight line basis over the
lease term. IFRS 16.6 The policy must be applied consistently to all short-term leases of underlying
assets of the same class.

Solution 16.6

A lessee may elect not to apply the recognition requirements of IFRS 16 Leases (recognise a
right to use asset and a corresponding lease liability) in respect of
• Short-term leases
• Low value asset leases IFRS 16.5

The assessment of low value leases is based on the value of the underlying asset when new,
regardless of its actual age. IFRS 16.B3. The exemption is available whether or not these leases are
individually or collectively material to the reporting entity. IFRS 16.B4

Currently, low value leases are taken to refer to leases of assets with a value when new of
around USD5 000 or less. IFRS 16 (Basis for Conclusions). The reference to USD 5 000 threshold is not
in the main body of the standard and is not an absolute cut-off. Factors such as inflation and
changes in exchange rates (for entities whose functional currency is not the US Dollar) may
change the relevance of this over time.

An underlying asset can be low value only if


• The lessee can benefit from the use of the underlying asset on its own or together with other
assets that are available to the lessee, and
• The underlying asset is not highly dependent on, or highly interrelated with, other assets.
IFRS 16.B5

Teach Limited benefits from each printer on its own and the printers are not dependent on, or
related to other assets. In other words, each printer can operate on its own.

For the twenty low value printers, Teach Limited thus has an accounting policy choice – to
apply the IFRS 16 recognition requirements or to recognise the lease payments as an expense
on a straight line basis over the lease term. IFRS 16.6 The policy must be applied consistently to
all short-term leases of underlying assets of the same class.

For the one high value printer, the contract contains a lease and Teach Limited must recognise
a right of use asset and corresponding liability.

Solution 16.7

a) Identification of lease components

This contract provides Build Limited with the right to use an asset (the equipment) as well as
monthly maintenance services.

The right to use the equipment represents a lease component. The provision of the maintenance
services does not represent the right to use an asset and is thus a non-lease component.

Although the contract states that part of the consideration also includes the provision of
insurance, the insurance is not a good or service from which Build Limited benefits (the lessor
benefits from the insurance) and thus the provision of insurance is not a separate component of
the contract and is disregarded when allocating the consideration to the components of the lease.

b) Allocation to components

Part A

Total annual consideration – stand-alone price of non-lease component = stand-alone price of


the lease equipment

C24 000 – C10 000 = C14 000

Part B

The total consideration is allocated based on the stand-alone price per lease component and the
aggregate stand-alone prices of the non-lease components (in this case there is only one non-
lease component) as follows:

Stand-alone prices
Allocation of annual contractual consideration:
C
Stand-alone prices for the non-lease component/s Given – maintenance only 10 000
Stand-alone price for the lease component Given – equipment 20 000
Total stand-alone prices 30 000
Annual contractual consideration allocated as 24 000
follows:
• Non-lease component C24 000 x 10 000 / 30 000 8 000
• Lease component C24 000 x 20 000 / 30 000 16 000

Solution 16.8

Part A

The lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease, including


• Optional renewal periods if the lessee is reasonably certain not to terminate early, and
• Periods after an optional termination date if the lessee is reasonably certain not to terminate
early. IFRS 16.18.

When determining the lease term, a lessee considers all relevant facts and circumstances that
create an economic incentive to exercise or forfeit options to renew or to terminate early. IFRS
16.19 / B37

Food for All Limited has significant economic incentive to extend the lease. Facts and
circumstances include
• The monthly rental will remain constant in the three years following the initial term whereas
market rentals are expected to increase by 10%.
• It intends to expand its retail outlets in the surrounding areas and the road network is to be
improved.

The contract contains a lease and Food for All Limited should use a lease term of six years in
accounting for the lease.

Note that the assessment of the lease term is a crucial estimate and a key input to the
measurement of the right to use asset and lease liability.

Part B

The lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease, including


• Optional renewal periods if the lessee is reasonably certain not to terminate early, and
• Periods after an optional termination date if the lessee is reasonably certain not to terminate
early. IFRS 16.18.

When determining the lease term, a lessee considers all relevant facts and circumstances that
create an economic incentive to exercise or forfeit options to renew or to terminate early. IFRS
16.19 / B37

Food for All Limited has little economic incentive to extend the lease. Facts and circumstances
include
• The monthly rental will increase to C55 000 in the three years following the initial term.
• There is a possibility that some stores in the surrounding area will close, reducing the need
for a warehouse in that location.

The contract contains a lease and Food for All Limited should use a lease term of three years
in accounting for the lease.

Note that the assessment of the lease term is a crucial estimate and a key input to the
measurement of the right to use asset and lease liability

Solutions to GAAP : Graded Questions Leases: lessee accounting

Solution 16.9

A residual value guarantee is defined as a guarantee made to a lessor by an unrelated party that
the value of an underlying asset at the end of the lease will be at least a specified amount. IFRS
16 Appendix A

At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee measures the lease liability at the present value
of future lease payments. IFRS 16.26

The lease payments include all lease rental payments and any expected payments at the end of
the lease, including amounts expected to be paid by the lessee under residual guarantees. IFRS 16.27

In theory, the residual value guarantee should equal the market value of the underlying asset at
the end of the lease term (in which case the lessee would sell the asset for its market value and
pay the amount over to the lessor and the amount to include in the calculation of the future lease
payments iro the residual value guarantee would be zero).

The amount to include as the residual value guarantee is the expected amount payable (and not
the maximum exposure). Thus Villa Limited includes C20 000 (C100 000 – C80 000) in the
calculation of the present value of future lease payments.

Note

The payment resulting from a residual value guarantee cannot be avoided by the lessee and the
lessee has an unconditional obligation to make a payment to the lessor if the value of an
underlying asset moves in a particular way. The uncertainty relates to the amount the lessee
may have to pay, which can vary in response to movements in the fair value of the underlying
asset.

* The residual value is defined in IAS 16 as the estimated amount that an entity would currently obtain
from disposal of the asset if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end
of its useful life IAS 16.6. Eagle Limited will receive zero from disposal as the bus is returned to BigFin
Limited, who would then dispose of it. Thus no residual value is used in the depreciation calculation.

^ The right of use asset is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful
life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term IFRS 16.32. Thus, a period of four years is used.

W1: Calculation of lease liability

At the commencement date, a lessee measures the lease liability at the present value of the
future lease payments. IFRS 16.26 This is equal to the present value of unpaid lease rentals + the
present value of expected payments at the end of the lease.

C
PV of annuity of lease payments for 3 years in arrear ^110 000 x 2,62431 288 674
PV of expected RV payment at end of year 4 *37 500 x 0,76289 28 609
317 283

^ The first of the four advance payments of C110 000 takes place at inception and is therefore excluded
from the calculation of future lease payments. The three remaining advance payments (commencing on
1 April 20X6) are effectively arrear payments at the commencement date of 1 April 20X5.
* (80 000 – 42 500)

W1: Calculation of right of use asset

At the commencement date, a lessee measures a right of use asset at a cost that includes
• The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus
• Initial direct costs, plus
• Prepaid lease expenses (reduced by lease incentives received) IFRS 16.24

Eagle plc will record the right of use asset at an amount of C427 283, calculated as follows:

Solution 16.14

a) Implicit interest rate

The implicit interest rate in the lease is the discount rate that causes the present value of:
• the lease payments; and
• the unguaranteed residual value
to equal the sum of the
• fair value of the underlying asset; and the
• initial direct costs of the lessor IFRS 16.Appendix A

C
Arrear payments C135 000 per year is
discounted at 12% over C135 000 x 3.6048 486 648
five years
Bargain purchase option C10 000 is discounted at
12% to the end of the five C10 000 x 0.5674 5 674
years
492 322

The discounted value of C492 322 is the same as the fair value of the leased asset at
inception. Therefore, 12% is the implicit interest rate.

Solutions to GAAP : Graded Questions Leases: lessee accounting

Solution 16.16

a) Lease term

The lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease, together with
• Optional renewal periods if the lessee is reasonably certain to extend
• Periods after an optional termination if the lessee is reasonably certain not to terminate early
IFRS 16.18

When determining the lease term, lessees consider all relevant facts and circumstances that
create an economic incentive to exercise or forfeit options to renew or terminate early IFRS 16.19

The lease term is for five years and Roasted Bean Limited has an option to extend the lease
contract for a further five years. At the commencement date, the exercise of the option is not
reasonably certain:
• The coffee shop format is not tested in the local market or by Roasted Bean Limited
• The leasehold improvements provided by the lessor are expected to be at the end their useful
lives by the end of the fifth year
• The lease rentals are not below market rates during the extension period.

The initial lease term is thus considered to be five years.

After the commencement date, a lessee reassess the lease term upon the occurrence of a
significant event or significant change in circumstances that is within the lessee’s control and
affects whether the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option not previously included in
the determination of the lease term IFRS 16.20 / B41

At 31 December 20X3, management of Roasted Bean Limited takes the decision to change the
format of the coffee shop and to incur significant costs to change the shop fittings and for
decoration. This is considered to be a significant change in circumstance that makes the option
to extend the contract for a further five years reasonably certain.

The lease term is therefore reassessed to be a total of ten years, of which three have passed and
seven remain.

EQUITY AND LIABILITIES


Non-current liabilities
Non-current portion of lease liability (549 171 – 200 754) 348 417
Current liabilities
Current portion of lease liability (200 754 – *0) 200 754
Current tax payable: income tax (200 000 – 277 251) 277 251

* When the lease payments are due in advance, it means that each payment will be reducing the capital
sum owing – in other words, none of the lease payment will be in lieu of interest owing. For this reason,
the full amount of the instalment is considered to be the current portion of the liability.
