Possible Advantages of Leasing
100% financing at fixed rates.
Protection against obsolescence.
Less costly financing.
Tax advantages.
Off-balance-sheet financing (until recently).

8. The Leasing Environment
Conceptual Nature of a Lease
Capitalize a lease that transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks of property ownership, provided the lease is noncancelable (capital lease).
Leases that do not transfer substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are operating leases.

11. Accounting by the Lessee
If the lessee capitalizes a lease, the lessee records an asset and a liability generally equal to the present value of the rental payments.
Records depreciation on the leased asset.
Treats the lease payments as consisting of interest and reduction of principal.
Journal Entries for Capitalized Lease
Illustration 21-2
LO 2

12. One or more must be met for capital lease accounting.
Accounting by the Lessee
For a capital lease, the FASB has identified four criteria.
Lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee.
Lease contains a bargain-purchase option.
Lease term is equal to 75 percent or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property.
The present value of the minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) equals or exceeds 90 percent of the fair value of the leased property.
One or more must be met for capital lease accounting.
LO 2

13. Accounting by the Lessee
Capitalization Criteria
Transfer of Ownership Test
If the lease transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee, it is a capital lease.
Bargain-Purchase Option Test
At the inception of the lease, the difference between the option price and the expected fair market value must be large enough to make exercise of the option reasonably assured.
LO 2

14. Accounting by the Lessee
Capitalization Criteria
Economic Life Test (75% Test)
Lease term is generally considered to be the fixed, noncancelable term of the lease.
Bargain-renewal option can extend this period.
At the inception of the lease, the difference between the renewal rental and the expected fair rental must be great enough to make exercise of the option to renew reasonably assured.
LO 2

15. Advance slide in presentation mode to reveal answer.
Accounting by the Lessee
Illustration: Home Depot leases Dell PCs for two years at a rental of $100 per month per computer and subsequently can lease them for $10 per month per computer for another two years. The lease clearly offers a bargain-renewal option; the lease term is considered to be four years.
Advance slide in presentation mode to reveal answer.
LO 2

16. Exclude from present value of Minimum Lease Payment Calculation
Accounting by the Lessee
Capitalization Criteria
Recovery of Investment Test (90% Test)
Minimum Lease Payments:
Minimum rental payment
Guaranteed residual value
Penalty for failure to renew or extend the lease
Bargain-purchase option
Executory Costs:
Insurance
Maintenance
Taxes
Exclude from present value of Minimum Lease Payment Calculation
LO 2

17. Accounting by the Lessee
Capitalization Criteria
Discount Rate
Lessee computes the present value of the minimum lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate, with one exception.
If the lessee knows the implicit interest rate computed by the lessor and it is less than the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, then lessee must use the lessor’s rate.
LO 2

18. Accounting by the Lessee
Asset and Liability Accounted for Differently
Depreciation Period
If lease transfers ownership, depreciate asset over the economic life of the asset.
If lease does not transfer ownership, depreciate over the term of the lease.
LO 2

19. Accounting by the Lessee
Asset and Liability Accounted for Separately
Effective-Interest Method
Used to allocate each lease payment between principal and interest.
Depreciation Concept
Depreciation and the discharge of the obligation are independent accounting processes.
LO 2

20. Accounting by the Lessee
Use the following PV Tables from Chapter 6 to discount cash flows in capital lease problems:
6-2 Present Value of $1
6-4 Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity of $1
(payments at end of period)
6-5 Present Value of an Annuity Due of $1
(payments at beginning of period)
(Future Value Tables are not used in lease accounting)
In choosing the PV factor, you must know the interest rate (i) and the number of periods (n).
LO 2 Describe the accounting criteria and procedures for capitalizing leases by the lessee.

21. Accounting by the Lessee
Use the PV Tables from Chapter 6 to discount cash flows in capital lease problems:
PV of lease payments = payment x PV factor (Table 4 or 5)
PV of guaranteed residual value = GRV x PV factor (Table 2)
PV of BPO = BPO x PV factor (Table 2)
PV of MLP = PV of payments + PV of GRV (or PV of BPO)
If you must calculate the payment:
Payment = PV of payments / PV Factor (Table 4 or 5)
In choosing the PV factor, you must know the interest rate (i) and the number of periods (n).
LO 2 Describe the accounting criteria and procedures for capitalizing leases by the lessee.

22. Accounting by the Lessee
BE21-1: Callaway Golf Co. leases telecommunication equipment. Assume the following data for equipment leased from Photon Company. The lease term is 5 years and requires equal rental payments of $31,000 at the beginning of each year. The equipment has a fair value at the inception of the lease of $138,000, an estimated useful life of 8 years, and no residual value. Callaway pays all executory costs directly to third parties. Photon set the annual rental to earn a rate of return of 10%, and this fact is known to Callaway. The lease does not transfer title or contain a bargain‐purchase option. How should Callaway classify this lease?
1. Transfer of ownership test met?
2. Bargain purchase option test met? 3. Economic life test?
4. Recovery of investment test? No
No [(5 years ÷ 8 years)=62.5% < 75%]
Yes, PV of the MLP ($31,000 X = $129,266) is greater than 90% of the FV of the asset (90% X $138,000 = $124,200). Therefore, Callaway should classify the lease as a capital lease.

23. Accounting by the Lessee
E21-5 (adapted): Jacobsen Leasing Company leases a new machine that has a cost and fair value of $75,000 to Stadler Corporation on a 3-year noncancelable contract. Stadler Corporation agrees to assume all risks of normal ownership including such costs as insurance, taxes, and maintenance. The machine has a 3-year useful life and no residual value. The lease was signed on January 1, Jacobsen Leasing Company expects to earn a 9% return on its investment. The annual rentals are payable on each December 31.
Instructions:
(a)   Discuss the nature of the lease arrangement and the accounting method that Stadler should apply.
(b)   Prepare an amortization schedule suitable for Stadler.

24. Accounting by the Lessee
E21-5 (adapted):
(a)   Discuss the nature of the lease arrangement and the accounting method that Stadler should apply.
Because the lease term is longer than 75% of the economic life of the asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments is more than 90% of the fair value of the asset, it is a capital lease to the lessee, Stadler.
3 yrs. lease term / 3 yrs. useful life = 100%, and 100% > 75%

25. Accounting by the Lessee
E21-5 (adapted):
(b)   Prepare an amortization schedule suitable for Stadler.
The payment is not given in the fact pattern. Before an amortization schedule can be constructed, the payment must be computed from the FV of the asset and the lessor’s desired rate of return. In this case, we must assume the FV of the asset represents the PV of the MLP.
Cost (and fair value of leased asset) $75,000
Less: PV of RV (no RV in this case)
Amount to be recovered by lessor $75,000
Three annual lease payments: $75,000 ÷ * = $29,629
*Present value of an ordinary annuity of 1 for 3 periods at 9%.

E21-1: On January 1, 2012, Adams Corporation signed a 5-year noncancelable lease for a machine. The terms of the lease called for Adams to make annual payments of $9,968 at the beginning of each year, starting January 1, The machine has an estimated useful life of 6 years and a $5,000 unguaranteed residual value. Adams uses the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its plant assets. Adams’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%, and the lessor’s implicit rate is unknown.

Operating leases.
Direct-financing leases.
Sales-type leases.
LO 4

38. Accounting by the Lessor
Classification of Leases by the Lessor: For direct-financing leases and sales-type leases
Illustration 21-10
A sales-type lease involves a manufacturer’s or dealer’s profit, and a direct-financing lease does not. Dealer profit means FV > cost.
LO 4

39. Accounting by the Lessor
Economics of Leasing
A lessor determines the amount of the rental, basing it on the rate of return—the implicit rate—needed to justify leasing the asset.
If a residual value is involved (whether guaranteed or not), the company would not have to recover as much from the lease payments.
LO 4

40. Accounting by the Lessor
E21-10 (Computation of Rental): Morgan Leasing Company signs an agreement on January 1, 2014, to lease equipment to Cole Company. The following information relates to this agreement.
The term of the non-cancelable lease is 6 years with no renewal option. The equipment has an estimated economic life of 6 years.
The cost and fair value of the asset at January 1, 2014, is $245,000.
The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term, at which time the asset is expected to have a residual value of $43,622, none of which is guaranteed.
Cole Company assumes direct responsibility for all executory costs.
The agreement requires equal annual rental payments, beginning on January 1, 2014.
Collectability of the lease payments is reasonably predictable. There are no important uncertainties surrounding the amount of costs yet to be incurred by the lessor.

43. Accounting by the Lessor
Direct-Financing Method (Lessor)
In substance the financing of an asset purchase by the lessee.
Lessor records:
A lease receivable instead of a leased asset.
Lease Receivable is the present value of the minimum lease payments.
For a direct-financing lease, the lessor accounting is the same regardless of whether the residual value is guaranteed or unguaranteed.

Meaning of Residual Value - Estimated fair value of the leased asset at the end of the lease term.
Guaranteed versus Unguaranteed – Lessee agrees to make up any deficiency below a stated amount that the lessor realizes in residual value at the end of the lease term.
LO 7

54. Special Lease Accounting Problems
Residual Values
Lease Payments - Lessor may adjust lease payments because of the increased certainty of recovery of a guaranteed residual value.
Lessee Accounting for Residual Value - The minimum lease payments, include the guaranteed residual value but excludes the unguaranteed residual value.
LO 7

55. Special Lease Accounting Problems
P21-6 (adapted): The following facts pertain to a noncancelable lease agreement between Faldo Leasing Company and Vance Company, a lessee.
Inception date January 1, 2012
Annual lease payment due at the beginning of
each year, beginning with January 1, $124,798
Residual value of equipment at end of lease term,
guaranteed by the lessee $50,000
Lease term years
Economic life of leased equipment 6 years
Fair value of asset at January 1, $600,000
Lessor's implicit rate %
Lessee's incremental borrowing rate 12%
The lessee assumes responsibility for all executory costs, which are expected to amount to $5,000 per year. The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term. The lessee has guaranteed the lessor a residual value of $50,000. The lessee uses the straight-line depreciation method for all equipment.
LO 7

56. Special Lease Accounting Problems
Instructions (Round all numbers to the nearest cent.)
(a)   Prepare an amortization schedule that would be suitable for the lessee for the lease term.
(b)   Prepare all of the journal entries for the lessee for 2012 and 2013 to record the lease agreement, the lease payments, and all expenses related to this lease. Assume the lessee's annual accounting period ends on December 31.

63. 21 Accounting for Leases LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After studying this chapter, you should be able to:
Explain the nature, economic substance, and advantages of lease transactions.
Describe the accounting criteria and procedures for capitalizing leases by the lessee.
Contrast the operating and capitalization methods of recording leases.
Explain the advantages and economics of leasing to lessors and identify the classifications of leases for the lessor.
Describe the lessor’s accounting for direct-financing leases.
Identify special features of lease arrangements that cause unique accounting problems.
Describe the effect of residual values, guaranteed and unguaranteed, on lease accounting.
Describe the lessor’s accounting for sales-type leases.

64. Special Lease Accounting Problems
Sales-Type Leases (Lessor)
Primary difference between a direct-financing lease and a sales-type lease is the manufacturer’s or dealer’s gross profit (or loss).
Lessor records the sale price of the asset, the cost of goods sold and related inventory reduction, and the lease receivable.
There is a difference in accounting for guaranteed and unguaranteed residual values.

(not including the PV of URV)
Direct Financing Lease:
Lease Receivable: PV of MLP* + PV of URV
Sales-Type Lease:
Lease Receivable: PV of MLP* + PV of URV
Sales: PV of MLP (which includes PV of GRV, but not URV)
CGS: Cost of the asset – PV of URV
*Note: MLP already includes GRV by definition

67. Sales-Type Leases (Lessor)
BE21-11 (adapted): Geiberger Corporation manufactures replicators. On January 1, 2012, it leased a replicator to Althaus Company that had cost $110,000 to manufacture. The lease agreement covers the 5-year useful life of the replicator and requires 5 equal annual rentals of $40,800 payable each January 1, beginning January 1, An interest rate of 12% is implicit in the lease agreement. Collectability of the rentals is reasonably assured, and there are no important uncertainties concerning costs. Prepare Geiberger's journal entries.
LO 8 Describe the lessor’s accounting for sales-type leases.

69. Special Lease Accounting Problems
Bargain Purchase Option (Lessee)
Lessee must include the present value of the option in the present value of the minimum lease payments and capitalize as part of the leased asset (just like a GRV).
Only difference between the accounting treatment for a bargain-purchase option (BPO) and a guaranteed residual value of identical amounts is in the computation of the annual depreciation. With a BPO, the lessee would depreciate the asset over its useful life, rather than the lease term.
LO 8

70. Special Lease Accounting Problems
Initial Direct Costs (Lessor)
Accounting for initial direct costs:
Operating leases, the lessor should defer initial direct costs.
Sales-type leases, the lessor expenses the initial direct costs.
Direct-financing lease, the lessor adds initial direct costs to the net investment.
LO 8

71. Special Lease Accounting Problems
Current versus Noncurrent
GAAP does not formally indicate how to measure the current and noncurrent amounts.
Common practice: Both the annuity-due and the ordinary- annuity situations report the reduction of principal for the next period as a current liability/current asset.

74. RELEVANT FACTS - Similarities
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.
Much of the terminology for lease accounting in IFRS and GAAP is the same (however, see next page).
GAAP for leases uses bright-line criteria (rules based) to determine if a lease arrangement transfers the risks and rewards of ownership; IFRS is more general in its provisions (more principles based) [see slides 76 and 77].
LO 11 Compare the accounting for leases under GAAP and IFRS.

75. RELEVANT FACTS - Differences
One difference in lease terminology is that finance leases are referred to as capital leases in GAAP.
GAAP for leases uses bright-line criteria to determine if a lease arrangement transfers the risks and rewards of ownership; IFRS is more general in its provisions.
GAAP has additional lessor criteria: payments are collectible and there are no additional costs associated with a lease. IFRS does not.
IFRS requires that lessees use the implicit rate to record a lease unless it is impractical to determine the lessor’s implicit rate. GAAP requires use of the incremental rate unless the implicit rate is known by the lessee and the implicit rate is lower than the incremental rate.
LO 11

76. Know the info on this slide!
IFRS
U.S. GAAP
Situations (individually or in combination) that normally would lead to classification as a finance lease are:
Situations that require classification as a capital lease if any one (or more) is met are:
The agreement specifies that ownership of the asset transfers to the lessee.
Same as IFRS.
The agreement contains a bargain purchase option.
The noncancelable lease term is for a “major portion” of the expected economic life of the asset.
“Major portion” defined specifically as 75% or more.
The present value of the minimum lease payments is equal to or greater than “substantially all” of the fair value of the asset.
“Substantially all” is specifically defined as 90%.
The leased asset is of a specialized nature such that only the lessee can use it without major modifications being made.
No similar situation specified.
LO 11

77. ON THE HORIZON
Lease accounting is one of the areas identified in the IASB/FASB Memorandum of Understanding. The Boards have issued proposed rules based on “right of use,” which requires that all leases, regardless of their terms, be accounted for in a manner similar to how finance leases are treated today. That is, the notion of an operating lease will be eliminated, which will address the concerns under current rules in which no asset or liability is recorded for many operating leases. A final standard is expected soon. You can follow the lease project at either the FASB ( or IASB ( websites.
Update: The FASB and IASB have abandoned their joint convergence project on leases and each board is issuing its own lease standard separately. On February 25, 2016, FASB issued ASU LEASES (TOPIC 842), which narrows the opportunity to record operating leases.
LO 11

78. IFRS SELF-TEST QUESTION
Which of the following is not a criterion for a lease to be recorded as a finance lease?
There is transfer of ownership.
The lease is cancelable.
The lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
There is a bargain-purchase option.
LO 11

79. IFRS SELF-TEST QUESTION
Under IFRS, in computing the present value of the minimum lease payments, the lessee should:
use its incremental borrowing rate in all cases.
use either its incremental borrowing rate or the implicit rate of the lessor, whichever is higher, assuming that the implicit rate is known to the lessee.
use either its incremental borrowing rate or the implicit rate of the lessor, whichever is lower, assuming that the implicit rate is known to the lessee.
use the implicit rate of the lessor, unless it is impracticable to determine the implicit rate.
LO 11

80. IFRS SELF-TEST QUESTION
A lease that involves a manufacturer’s or dealer’s profit is a (an):
direct financing lease.
finance lease.
operating lease.
sales-type lease.
LO 11

81. IFRS SELF-TEST QUESTION
Which of the following is not a criterion for determining a finance lease?
The lease agreement transfers title to the lessee.
The noncancelable lease term is for a “major portion” of the expected economic life of the asset.
The lease agreement contains a bargain purchase option.
The present value of the minimum lease payments is equal to or greater than 90% of the fair value of the asset
