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 principal.

Journal Entries for Capitalized Lease

21-‹#›

For a finance lease, the IASB has identified four criteria.

Lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee.

Lease contains a bargain-purchase option.

Lease term is for major part of the economic life of the asset.

One or more must be met for finance lease accounting.

Present value of the minimum lease payments amounts to substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset.

Capitalization Criteria

Transfer of Ownership Test

If the lease transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee, it is a finance 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

ACCOUNTING BY THE LESSEE

21-‹#›

Economic Life Test

Lease term is generally considered to be the fixed, non-cancelable 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.

Illustration: CNH Capital (NLD) (a subsidiary of CNH Global) and Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (CAN) sign a lease agreement dated January 1, 2015, that calls for CNH to lease a front-end loader to Ivanhoe beginning January 1, 2015. The terms and provisions of the lease agreement and other pertinent data are as follows.

The term of the lease is five years. The lease agreement is non-cancelable, requiring equal rental payments of $25,981.62 at the beginning of each year (annuity-due basis).

The loader has a fair value at the inception of the lease of $100,000, an estimated economic life of five years, and no residual value.

Ivanhoe pays all of the executory costs directly to third parties except for the property taxes of $2,000 per year, which is included as part of its annual payments to CNH.

The lease contains no renewal options. The loader reverts to CNH at the termination of the lease.

Ivanhoe’s incremental borrowing rate is 11 percent per year.

Ivanhoe depreciates similar equipment that it owns on a straight-line basis.

CNH sets the annual rental to earn a rate of return on its investment of 10 percent per year; Ivanhoe knows this fact.

A lease receivable instead of a leased asset.

Receivable is the present value of the minimum lease payments plus the present value of the unguaranteed residual value.

Direct-Financing Method (Lessor)

ACCOUNTING BY THE LESSOR

LO 5

21-‹#›

Illustration: Using the data from the preceding CNH/Ivanhoe example we illustrate the accounting treatment for a direct-financing lease. We repeat here the information relevant to CNH in accounting for this lease transaction.

The term of the lease is five years beginning January 1, 2015, non-cancelable, and requires equal rental payments of $25,981.62 at the beginning of each year. Payments include $2,000 of executory costs (property taxes).

The equipment (front-end loader) has a cost of $100,000 to CNH, a fair value at the inception of the lease of $100,000, an estimated economic life of five years, and no residual value.

CNH incurred no initial direct costs in negotiating and closing the lease transaction.

ACCOUNTING BY THE LESSOR

(continued)

LO 5

21-‹#›

We repeat here the information relevant to CNH in accounting for this lease transaction.

The lease contains no renewal options. The equipment reverts to CNH at the termination of the lease.

CNH sets the annual lease payments to ensure a rate of return of 10 percent (implicit rate) on its investment as shown.

ACCOUNTING BY THE LESSOR

LO 5

21-‹#›

The lease meets the criteria for classification as a direct-financing lease for two reasons:

the lease term equals the equipment’s estimated economic life, and

the present value of the minimum lease payments equals the equipment's fair value.

It is not a sales-type lease because there is no difference between the fair value ($100,000) of the loader and CNH’s cost ($100,000).

Assume that the fair market value of the residual value is $3,000 at the end of the lease term.

To avoid leased asset capitalization, companies design, write, and interpret lease agreements to prevent satisfying any of the four finance lease criteria.

The real challenge lies in disqualifying the lease as a finance lease to the lessee, while having the same lease qualify as a finance (sales or financing) lease to the lessor.

Unlike lessees, lessors try to avoid having lease arrangements classified as operating leases.

LEASE ACCOUNTING

Leasing is a global business. Lessors and lessees enter into arrangements with one another without regard to national boundaries. Although U.S. GAAP and IFRS for leasing are similar, both the FASB and the IASB have decided that the existing accounting does not provide the most useful, transparent, and complete information about leasing transactions that should be provided in the financial statements.

GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS

21-‹#›

Relevant Facts

Following are the key similarities and differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS related to accounting for leases.

Similarities

Both U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP and IFRS is the same.

Under U.S. GAAP and IFRS, lessees and lessors use the same general lease capitalization criteria to determine if the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred in the lease.

GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS

21-‹#›

Relevant Facts

Differences

One difference in lease terminology is that finance leases are referred to as capital leases in U.S. GAAP.

U.S. 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.

U.S. GAAP has additional lessor criteria: payments are collectible, and there are no additional costs associated with a lease.

U.S. 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. IFRS requires that lessees use the implicit rate to record a lease unless it is impractical to determine the lessor’s implicit rate.

GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS

21-‹#›

Relevant Facts

Differences

Under U.S. GAAP, extensive disclosure of future non-cancelable lease payments is required for each of the next five years and the years thereafter. IFRS does not require it although some companies provide a year-by-year breakout of payments due in years 1 through 5.

The FASB standard for leases (SFAS No. 13) has been the subject of more than 30 interpretations since its issuance. The IFRS leasing standard is IAS 17, first issued in 1982. This standard is the subject of only three interpretations. One reason for this small number of interpretations is that IFRS does not specifically address a number of leasing transactions that are covered by U.S. GAAP. Examples include lease agreements for natural resources, sale-leasebacks, real estate leases, and leveraged leases.

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 in 2015. You can follow the lease project at the IASB website (http://www.iasb.org).

LO 11 Describe the lessee’s accounting for sale-leaseback transactions.

The term sale-leaseback describes a transaction in which the owner of the property (seller-lessee) sells the property to another and simultaneously leases it back from the new owner.

21-‹#›

DETERMINING ASSET USE

To the extent the seller-lessee continues to use the asset after the sale, the sale-leaseback is really a form of financing.

Lessor should not recognize a gain or loss on the transaction.

If the seller-lessee gives up the right to the use of the asset, the transaction is in substance a sale.

Gain or loss recognition is appropriate.

LO 11

APPENDIX 21A

If the lease meets one of the four criteria for treatment as a finance lease, the seller-lessee should

Account for the transaction as a sale and the lease as a finance lease.

Amortize profit over the lease term .

LO 11

If none of the finance lease criteria are satisfied, the seller-lessee accounts for the transaction as a sale and the lease as an operating lease.

Lessee defers such profit or loss and amortizes it in proportion to the rental payments over the period when it expects to use the assets.

Japan Airlines (JAL) on January 1, 2015, sells a used Boeing 757 having a carrying amount on its books of $75,500,000 to CitiCapital for $80,000,000. JAL immediately leases the aircraft back under the following conditions:

The term of the lease is 15 years, non-cancelable, and requires equal rental payments of $10,487,443 at the beginning of each year.

The aircraft has a fair value of $80,000,000 on January 1, 2015, and an estimated economic life of 15 years.

JAL pays all executory costs.

JAL depreciates similar aircraft that it owns on a straight-line basis over 15 years.

The annual payments assure the lessor a 12 percent return.

JAL’s incremental borrowing rate is 12 percent.

SALE-LEASEBACK EXAMPLE

APPENDIX 21A

SALE-LEASEBACKS

LO 11

21-‹#›

This lease is a finance lease to JAL because the lease term is equal to the estimated life of the aircraft and because the present value of the lease payments is equal to the fair value of the aircraft to CitiCapital.

CitiCapital should classify this lease as a direct financing lease.
