Chapter 15 Power Point Notes Flashcards
capital lease
One that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee
operating lease
One that does not transfer the risks and benefits of ownership to the lessee; a rental agreement
JEs for both the Lessee and Lessor of an operating lease
Lessee: Dr. Rent expense XXX Cr. Cash XXX Lessor: Dr. Cash XXX Cr. Rent revenue XXX Dr. Depreciation expense YYY Cr. Accum depreciation YYY
Capital Lease Lessee
Records asset and obligation on balance sheet
Interest expense on obligation
Depreciation on asset
Capital Lease Lessor
Removes leased asset from balance sheet
Records lease receivable
Earns interest/financing income over the lease term
Direct Financing (Capital Lease)
(similar to a loan)
Typically lessor is a financing company
No gross profit is recorded at the signing of the lease; considered to be a financing arrangement (with financing income to the lessor)
Sales-type (Capital Lease)
(similar to a sale of an asset and a loan)
Typically lessor is a manufacturer or dealer
Gross profit is recognized at the inception of the lease, and financing income is recognized over the lease
Capital lease criteria
- Does the lease transfer ownership?
- Does the lease contain a bargain purchase option (BPO)?
- Is the lease term at least 75% of the estimated economic life of the asset?
- Is the present value of the minimum lease payments at least 90% of the fair value of the leased property?
If any of these criteria are satisfied, the lease is a capital lease to the lessee
Bargain Purchase option
Option to purchase asset at end of lease term at a price sufficiently below expected market value that exercise of option appears reasonably assured
Suggests that the contract is written in a way to make a transfer likely
Economic life test
After 75% of life, most risk/rewards would have been transferred
Use non cancelable term as lease term
Bargain renewal options may extend lease and should also be included
Recovery of investment
If PV (payments) = fair value, we essentially have a purchase
Rule is: PV greater than 90% of fair value =capital lease
However, determination of PV of minimum lease payments can be complex
Interest rate (a.k.a. discount rate)
What is included in minimum lease payments?
Executory costs
Additional Lessor Conditions for a Capital Lease
Collectability of lease payments must be reasonably predictable,
Any future costs must be reasonably predictable
How do you calculate PV of Minimum lease pmts
Lease Pmt * PVOAF(N=years I=interest rate PMT = 1)
PV = $79,139.18 × PVOAF (5 years, 10%)
= $79,139.18 × 3.79079
=300,000.
Lessee JE for Captial Lease
Inception of Lease:
JE to record leased asset and lease obligation at present value of MLP
Dr. Leased asset 300,000
Cr. Lease obligation 300,000
JE to record depreciation on a lease
Depr exp (PV of Lease/lease life) Accumulated depr (PV of Lease/lease life)
