What is the difference between an ordinary annuity and an annuity due?
Timing of Payments: Ordinary annuity–Payments are at end of each period. Annuity due–Payments are at beginning of each period.
Identify and define two types of leases from the lessee’s perspective under IFRS and US GAAP.
Capital (US GAAP)| Finance (IFRS): Transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks inherent in ownership of property to the lessee. In substance, an installment purchase. The lessee accounts for the lease as an acquisition of an asset and a related liability. Operating (IFRS and US GAAP): All other leases are simple rental agreements in which the lessee debts rent expense and credits cash/rent payable.
Identify and define types of leases from the lessor’s perspective under IFRS and US GAAP.
Capital (Finance) Leases: Sales-type: Gives rise to manufacturer’s or dealer’s profit or loss. Fair value differs from cost or carrying value. Direct-financing: Fair value is the same as cost or carrying value at the beginning of lease term. IFRS does not use the terms “sales type” and “direct financing”. Operating: All other leases are simple rental agreements in which the lessor debits cash/rent receivable and credits rental income.
In an operating lease, give the treatment of a lease bonus, from both the lessor’s and lessee’s perspective.
Lessor: Lease bonus is deferred and amortized as income over the life of the lease. Lessee: Lease bonus is capitalized and amortized as an expense over the life of the lease.
Name the criteria for determining if a lease is a capital lease for the lessee under US GAAP. (OWNS)
To be classified as a capital lese under US GAAP, the transaction must meet one or more of the following citeria: Ownership transferred; Written bargain purchase option; (Ninety) Present value of minimum lease payments is equal to or greater than 90% of FMV of asset; (Seventy-five) Lease term equals or exceeds 75% of estimated useful life. Last two items are qualifying criteria as long as asset is not in last 25% of original estimated life.
Name the criteria for determining if a lease is a finance lease for the lessee and the lessor under IFRS.
The lessee and lessor classify a lease as a finance lease if the lessor transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.
How does the lessee record the capital lease?
At lower of FV or present value of minimum lease payments, using the lower of lessee’s incremental borrowing rate or the rate implicit in the lease, if known by lessee. Note: Minimum lease payments include payments, bargain purcahse option, and guaranteed residual value. They do not include executory costs or an optional purchase. Under IFRS, initial direct costs are recognized as part of the finance lease asset.
Name the criteria for determining if a lease is a capital lease for the lessor under US GAAP. (LUC)
To be classified as a capital lease, the transaction must meet all three of the following criteria: Lessee “owns” the leased property; Uncertainties do not exist regarding any nonreimburseable costs to be incurred by the lessor; Collectibility of the lease paymetns is reasonably predictable.
Wat is the difference between sales-type and direct-financing leases (lessor finance leases)?
Sales-type: Gives rise to manufacturer’s or dealer’s profit or loss. Fair value differs from cost or carrying value. Direct-financing: Fair value is the same as cost or carrying value at the beginning of lease term. (I profit from my sales (-type) lease, not from my (direct-) financing lease.)
What period of benefit does the lessee use to depreciate the leased asset under a capital lease?
The estimated economic life of the asset is used if the lessee takes ownership or there is a bargain purchase option. Otherwise, the lease term is used.
Identify the three classifications used with respect to the seller-lessee’s rights retained in a sale-leaseback under US GAAP.
Substantially all rights retained: PV of rent payments is equal to or greater than 90% of the fiar value of the property. Gain deferred and amortized. Rights retained are less than substantially all but great than minor: PV of rent payments is less than 90%, but greater than 10% of the fair value of the property. Gain deferred up to the present value of lease payments (operating lease) or capitalized asset (capital lease). The excess is recognized immediately. Minor portion of rights retained: PV of rent payments is 10% or less of the fair value of the property. Entire gain recognized. In all cases, losses (NBV > FV) are recognized immediately.
Outline the accounting by the seller-lessee in a sale-leaseback transaction under IFRS.
If sale-leaseback results in a finance lease, defer profit and amortize over the lease term. IF sale-leaseback results in an operating lease, profit or loss is recognized based on the relationship between the leased asset’s carrying amount, fair value, and selling price.
What are the lessee’s major footnote disclosures for capital leases under US GAAP?
- Gross amount of assets capitalized by major property categories. 2. Future minimum lease payments in the aggregate and for each of the next five years. 3. Amount of imputed interest to reduce net minimum lease payments to present value.
When is a bond issued at a discount? A premium?
A bond is issued at a discount when the coupon/stated interest rate is less than the market/effective rate of interest. A bond is issued at a premium when the bond interest rate is greater than the market rate of interest.
How is the bond selling price computed?
The price is the sum of the present value of the future principal payment plus the present value of the periodic interest payments discounted using the market/effective rate on the date the bonds are issued.
