4. Discuss the accounting and reporting for special features of lease arrangements.
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.
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.
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.
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.

BRIEF EXERCISES
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.

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.
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).
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.
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.

Assume that on January 1, 2018, Wildcat Corporation sells equipment to Wichita Finance Co. for
£1,700,000 and immediately leases back the equipment. The relevant information is as follows.
1. The equipment was carried on Wildcats books at a value of £1,500,000.
2. The term of the non-cancelable lease is 3 years; title will not transfer to Wildcats, and the
expected residual value at the end of the lease is £1,125,000, all of which is unguaranteed.
3. The lease agreement requires equal rental payments of £277,635 at the beginning of each
year.
4. The incremental borrowing rate for Wildcat is 7%. Wildcat is aware that Wichita Finance set
the annual rental to ensure a rate of return of 7%.
5. The equipment has a fair value of £1,700,000 on January 1, 2018, and an estimated
economic life of 10 years.

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
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.
