Q

What is the criteria for determining whether a lease is Finance Lease for the Lessee and a sales-type lease for the lessor

A

if one of the following is met: OWNES
Ownership transfer at end of lease term
Written option to purchase the option
Net present value of all lease ayments is equal to or substancially exceeds assets FV (90%)
Economic life remaining on asset is made up by a major part of the lease term (75%)
Specialized asset which indicates it will not have an alternate use after the lease ends

Q

What happens if none of OWNES is met? Before claling it an operating lease the LESSOR would have to do this other test…

A

if none of OWNES is met, We go to the PC rule.

Where both the Present value of the sum of payments and guaranteed residual payments is = to or exceeds the assets Fair Value AND the Colleciton of lease payments is probable…THEN it’s considered a Direct Financing Lease

BUT IF only one/none of those is prevalant then its an operating lease

Q

Can you identify a few ways in which the sales-type leases are different from direct finance leases

A

in a sales-type lease, the lessee gains control of the asset and the lessor will remove the asset from its books and recognize a profit or loss.

Whereas, in a direct finance lease, the lessee does not gain control of the asset. The lessor will remove it from the books but will instead recognize a net investment in the lease

35
Q

Define a permanent difference

A

transactions that affect either taxable income or financial income, BUT NOT BOTH. and only in the period they occur, they do not affect future financial or taxable income

39
Q

Can you define a deferred tax liability

A

It is an anticipated future tax liability which comes from a situation where future taxable amount will be GREATER than future financial amount due to TEMPORARY Differences

40
Q

How do you measure a deferred tax liability

A

apply the applicable ENACTED tax rate and provisions of enacted tax rate to the temporary differences in the periods in which they are expected to reverse.

41
Q

Can you define a deferred tax asset

A

future taxable amount will be LESS than future financial amount due to TEMPORARY Differences

42
Q

How do you measure a DTA, and how is it measured

A

recognized for all deductible temporary differences, operating losses, and tax credit carry forwards by applying the applicable ENACTED tax rate and provisions of enacted tax rate to the temporary differences in the periods in which they are expected to reverse.

43
Q

Unlike a DTL, when recording a DTA, what can it give rise to

A

having to record a valuation allowance to reduce the asset to its NRV, only if it is more likely then not (>50%) that its full value will not be recognized

44
Q

Where do DTA’s and DTL’s show up on the BS?

A

as non-current!!!

45
Q

How do use use OWNES PC to determine if the Lessor has an operating or direct financing lease

A

its a direct financing lease if non of OWNES is met, but BOTH P and C are met
Its an operating lease if none of the OWNES criteria are met, but ONE or NO P or C criteria are met

46
Q

What would be the JE for the inception of a sales type lease for the lessor

A

DR: Lease Receivable
CR: Fixed Asset
CR: Gain (or debit loss)

47
Q

What would be the JE for the inception of a Direct Financing Lease for the lessor

A

DR: Lease Receivable
DR: Residual Asset (PV at implicit rate)
CR: Fixed Asset

48
Q

What do you do if you want to find the total value of an asset and there is a residual value estimated

A

you multiply the residual value by the PV of $1 and add it to the PV of the asset

49
Q

For a finance lease, over what time do you amortize the leased property

A

the properties economic life

50
Q

When thinking about how much the Payment amount, interest and amortization amount is for a lease..what equation can you use to find the carrying amount of the ROUA at a point in time

A

You have the total lease liability (carrying value of ROUA)
do the Payment (lease expense) - Interest (implicit rate x lease liability) = Amortization

The amortization is how much the ROUA is decreased

51
Q

So the lessee of a finance lease is recording depreciation, when would they depreciate over the lease term instead of the useful life?

A

if they had no intent to buy it or take ownership at the end of the lease.

So you would use the PV of lease payments / lease term

52
Q

In terms of the statement of cash flows, what are the Variable lease payments not included in the lease liability considered to be?

A

a cash outflow

53
Q

What do you do if you want to find the total value of an asset and there is a residual value estimated

A

you multiply the residual value by the PV of $1 and add it to the PV of the asset

54
Q

When would you not use the implied rate?

A

if the rate is specified in the lease and known by all

55
Q

Where are the effective portion of CASH FLOW hedges reported, what about the ineffective prtion

A

effective portion goes to OCI, ineffective goes to current earnings

its the E of pufier

56
Q

What makes a currency ‘Dysfunctional’ meaning we need to do remeasurement

A

if the sub is highly integrated, and/or they operate in a highly inflationary environment

57
Q

What are the 3 steps for the Translation method when functional currency is used? this is in terms of what FS is done first

A

1: Income Statement: at weighted average
2: Balance Sheet: at year-end rate, stock and APIC historical, rollforward RE
3: Equity: plug AOCI
Gains and losses to OCI (F in PUFER)

58
Q

What are the 3 steps for the remeasurement method when dysfunctional currency is used? this is in terms of what FS is done first

A

1: Balance Sheet: monetary at year-end rate, non-monetary at historical stock and APIC historical, rollforward RE
2: Income Statement: at weighted average
3: Equity: Gain/loss so that net income is at amount for RE plug
Gains and losses to NI

59
Q

How do you find the current liability as it relates to taxes

A

Tax return amount x current tax rate

60
Q

How do you find the deferred asset as it relates to taxes

A

Temporary difference(s) x Future (enacted) tax rate

61
Q

What is the total tax expense equation

A

Current Liability - Deferred Asset

62
Q

When talking about permanent differences, do we focus on the current year or future years?

A

the CURRENT year only, there is NEVER anything deferred

63
Q

What do temporary differences cause?

A

Deferred taxes (DTA’s and DTL’s)

64
Q

What has to be greater than what to give rise to a DTL

A

Future Tax Accounting Income GREATER THAN Future Financial Accounting Income

65
Q

What has to be greater than what to give rise to a DTA

A

Future Tax Accounting Income is LESS THAN Future Financial Accounting Income

66
Q

What account do you use if it is more likely than not (>50%) that part of or all of the DTA will not be realized? is this method allowed under IFRS

A

The Valuation Allowance Account is used (contra account)

NOT ALLOWED UNDER IFRS

67
Q

What is the initial entry for a deferred tax asset

A

DR: DTA
DR: ITE-Current
CR: Income tax Payable
CR: Income tax benefit-deferred

68
Q

What is the initial entry for a deferred tax Liability

A

DR: ITE-Current
DR: ITE-Deferred
CR: Income Taxes Currently Payable
CR: DTL

69
Q

If the book basis is larger than the tax basis, resulting from depreciation methods, do you recognize a DTA or a DTL

A

A DTL

70
Q

What is the easy equation to find the income tax expense-current portion

A

Taxable income x Tax rate

71
Q

what tax rate is used for temporary differences? What about if it has future impacts

A

the ENACTED RATE ONLY, use the enacted rate of relative future years

72
Q

The DRD is a permanent difference, what were the deductions for if you owned less than 20%, between 20-80% and over 80%?

A

50% exclusion if <20%
65% exclusion if 20%-80%

A

NONCURRENT

74
Q

You are given the Q1 income, and a bunch of different tax rates…which one would you always use

A

at the end of Q1, use the anticipated enacted tax rate to be applicable at the end of year 1…so you are using the same anticipated rate all year ya know

75
Q

Why isnt there an interest entry for an operating lease for the lessee?

A

The interest is lumped into the lease expense

76
Q

So when making an amortization table think from left to right it goes how?

A

Lease Liability, Total Lease Expense, Interest Expense, Amortization Expense and Carrying Amount of Asset.

77
Q

So we know how the amortization table is set up, but for an operating lease for the lessee what is constant and for a finacing lease for the lessee what is constant

A

For operating lease, the lease expense is constant

For financing lease, the amortization expense is constant

78
Q

Does the LESSOR book interest at all?

A

NO REMEMBER IT IS LUMPED INTO LEASE EXPENSE FOR THE LESSEE SO WHY WOULD THEY RECOGNIZE IT
