Finance lease
1. capitalized (BS)
2. lessee obtains control
3. interest expense
4. amortization expense recorded

23
Q

If BONES, it’s a finance lease. Otherwise, it is an operating lease.
Step 1 - lessee accounting

A

Written bargain purchase option exists for the asset. Reasonable expectation that the lessee will exercise the option.
Transfer of ownership of the leased property from the lessor to the lessee occurs by the end of the lease agreement.
The net present value of the collective lease payments as well as the guaranteed residual value equates to or is > of the assets fair market value.
Lease term represents a “major component” of the remaining economic life.
Asset is deemed specialized; not expected to have an alternative use when the lease agreement concludes.

24
Q

Calculate lease expense/interest expense
Step 2 - lessee accounting

A

Not BONES - operating lease
total lease payment = lease expense

Yes BONES - finance lease
beginning lease liability
x implicit* interest rate
= interest expense

  • use the rate that the lease contract implies
    2nd choice: incremental borrowing rate %
25
Calculate decline in principal Step 3 - lessee accounting
Operating lease total lease payment - interest expense = principal reduction Finance lease total lease payment - interest expense = principal reduction
26
Determine amortization expense Step 4 - lessee accounting
Operating lease no amortization expense recorded Finance lease Straight line NPV min lease payments / lease pay periods
27
Determine ending liability's balance/ROU (right of use) asset Step 5 - lessee accounting
Operating lease beginning lease liability - principal reduction = ending balance Finance lease beginning lease liability - principal reduction = ending balance beginning ROU asset - amortization amount = ending balance
28
Operating lease - lessee accounting
Step 1 - Net present value = PV factor x payments Total lease payment - remains the same Step 2 - Interest expense - not recorded by lessee Step 3 - Principal reduction - recorded as a reversal to the lease liability Step 4 Amortization expense - not recorded Step 5 - Ending lease liability & Ending carrying value of the ROU asset (Step 1 - Step 3) amount will be the same Initial entry Debit: ROU asset Credit: lease liability amount from step 1 End of year entry Debit: lease expense (total lease payment (step 1)) Debit: lease liability (step 3) Credit: Cash (same as lease expense) Credit: Accumulated amortization (same as lease liability)
