Need to meet 1 or the four
OWNS
3 and 4 are substance over form-> capital lease even if you’re not going to keep the car

2) Written option for bargain purchase - he has the option to buy it at the end of the lease
3) 90% of the fair value of the property < or equal to PV of lease payments (hint: if you’re paying os much for it in lease payments you want to trat it like its yours) (EVEN if youre not going to keep the car)
4) 75% or more of the asset’s economic life is being committed to the lease term

Lease finance criteria for IFRS
OWNS: except for the numbers; they should just be substantial
1 of these
F-> fluctuation in the FV of the asset and gains and losses from that are accrued to the lessee
A-> ability to continue lease for secondary period at rent substantially lower than market rent
c-> lessee can cancel the lease anytime and the risk of that loss is borne by the lessee
S-> leased assets are so specialized that only the lessee can use them without modification
US GAAP: Lessor- criteria
Lucky guy and we still hate him and he needs all Luck
IFRS: Lessor- same criteria (FACS and OWNS) as lessee so almost in both case will be classified in the same way
ALL of the following conditions should be met
LUC
Lessee owns the leased property according to OWNS
uncertainties about unreimbursed costs in the future does not exist-> earnigns process is virtually complete
collectibility of lease payments can be reasonably predicted
Lessor can classify it as a capital lease while lessee can classify it as a operating lease
what?!
types- GAAP
IFRS: similar accounting just not called that way-
in all cased there is a transfer of benefits and risks in ownership
sale-type
two profits:
1) gain on sale
2) interest income
direct financing lease: one profit
1) interest income

GAAP and IFRS
Dr. Fixed Asset
Cr. Liab
Amount of Fixed asset:
Lesser of FV of asset at inception of lease or cost which is the PV of all min lease payments
Cost (PV of all min lease payments)
under cost or the PV of all min lease payments:
include ALL payments that the lesee is obligated to make
1) required payments
2) bargain purchase options- required or guaranteed
3) guaranteed residual value- amount guaranteed by the user to the owner for the estimated residual value of the asset at the end of the lease term
Exclude:
1) executory costs that can be paid by anyone:
like oil change, or we’ll include a min fee and you can come in and get your tyres fixed etc.
expensed as occurr (r&m tax insurance etc)
2) optional buyout not a required bargain to purchase you can refuse it-> excluded
IFRS costs capitalized in amount
initial direct costs of the lease paid by the buyer are added to the amount recognized as a finance lease asset
dr. asset
cr. obligation (same rules)
cr. cash (indirect costs)
at lease inception the amount of the lessee’s asset and lessor’s obligation MIGHT be different -> lease asset is not equal to liab
PV Tables to use
Periodic payment: actual lease payments
bargain purchase option or guaranteed residual: PV of lump sum
interest rate
lesser of rate implicit in the lease or lesee’s incremental borrowing rate which is the rate available in the market to the lessee (not prime)
summary
on F5-14
example on page F5-15
1) qualify as a capital lease?
2) record JE for lessee
OWNS
Order matters; so if you meet more than one crietria use
O if not then
W if not then
S if not then
N
because N is the most difficult to calculate
N
compare FV and cost
cost includes including all rules
Depreciation expense on capitalized lease for the lessee because now you own asset
[capitalize leased asset- sv]/periods of benefit
period of benefit US GAAP
OW-> life of the asset
NS-> lease term
logically you’re not going to own it after under NS so why depreciate it over useful life or extra time period
