...Sable sells and leases equipment to its customers. * Sable entered into a contract with Buildit Co. leasing a bulldozer for construction. * The lease term is 10 years and the economic and useful life of the bulldozer is 15 years. * Annual lease payments due at the end of every year will be $16,000. * Buildit is responsible for maintenance, insurance, and tax payments arising from the lease. * The residual value of the bulldozer at the end of the lease term is estimated at $24,000, although no guarantee of the residual value. * Lease does not transfer ownership of the asset at the end of the lease. * The bulldozer cost Sable $100,000 to manufacture and sells for $135,000. * Sable has recently been selling the bulldozer for $125,000 because of economic situations. * Implicit rate on $135,000 fair value is 5.45%. * Implicit rate on $125,000 fair value is 6.93%. * Payments are expected to be collected when due. Identification of Issues and Alternatives: The major question at hand in this case is whether or not the lease should be classified as a sales-type lease, a direct financing lease, a leveraged lease, or an operating lease. If the lease meets any of the criteria for being a capital lease and meets the extra required criteria for each classification then it is one of the first three, and if not then it is an operating lease. The determination of the type of lease will affect how the lease is classified on...

...appropriate risk evaluations of a firms statement of financial position”’. Leases are a common financial tool used by many businesses and individuals on a daily basis to transfer the ownership of many different types of assets. Creditors are largely involved with many leases and company balance sheets as they are always interested in making valued judgements of their financial position with the current leasing disclosure requirements providing some discrepancies for creditors in making these risk evaluations. These issues surrounding the treatment and disclosure of leases provide the need for rigorous speculation into the accounting treatment and classification of the different types of leases so that the users of financial statements are provided with a clear view of a firm’s financial position and performance. With the relative ease in which a company can manipulate the classification of their leases, it makes it hard for creditors to make valued judgements of a company’s balance sheet. The current guidelines of AASB 117 require a company to classify its leases as either a finance lease or an operating lease. Only finance leases are required to be disclosed on a company’s statement of financial position with operating leases being excluded. This is one potential issue arising for creditors as the balance sheet might therefore be an unreliable measure of a company’s financial position. Operating leases are a form of off-balance sheet reporting that “potentially enhances the...

...finance lease can be recognized. The accounting method for a finance lease and for an operating lease is different. In the leases-joint project of IASB and FASB, opinions about accounting method of lessee divided under two accounting systems. FASB uses a dual approach and IFRS uses a single approach for lessee accounting. Under the single approach, a lessee will recognize all leases as “Type A” leases, which means recognize amortization of the right-of-use (ROU) asset separately from interest on the lease liability. Under IFRS, there are exemption of small-ticket leases and short-term leases for the accounting of lessee. For small-ticket leases, there is no clear benchmark about the classification of “small”. But short-term leases are leases that have leasing term of 12 months or less. Financial reports need to disclose more information weighing the cost. Considering this exemption is for the convenience of companies with insignificant leases, we design the line of 1% of total asset amount. As far as we concerned, comparing to the time limit, the proportion can reflect more precisely the impact on the company. Besides, for a small corporation, making an option for a lease whether to be finance lease or operating lease will cause a huge change of revenue of this year. In other words, we propose a new criterial for defining small assets and small-ticket leases. Therefore, the new standard is aligned with IASB. Scope The standard will be applied in accounting for leases of lessees...

...Initial measurement The fair value of a liability for a lease termination under a cease-use date approach is the present value of the contractual obligation adjusted for valuation assumptions (e.g., market risk premium and/or profit margin) that reflect the amount a market participant would require to assume the obligation at the measurement date. In valuing a lease under the cease-use date approach, the fair value of the obligation should be determined based on the remaining lease rentals, adjusted for the effects of any prepaid or deferred items recognized, reduced by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained, even if the entity does not intend to sublease (so long as it is contractually permitted). While ―remaining lease rentals‖ as discussed in ASC 420-10-30-8 is not defined in existing literature, ASC 420-10-30-9 states ―A liability for costs that will continue to be incurred under a contract for its remaining term without economic benefit to the entity shall be measured at its fair value at the cease-use date.‖ Therefore, if executory costs (e.g., common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes) are required to be paid by the lessee as part of the lease contract, those costs will continue to be incurred by the lessee and should be included in any calculation of contract termination costs. The measurement of any net liability would be a discounted amount that includes the nonperformance risk associated with the liability and an appropriate market risk...

...To Lease or Purchase? May 2, 2011 ACC/400 Peter Ioveno To Lease or Purchase? It is important to know when it is a good time to purchase items or lease items, as an individual and in the business world. If you purchase an item at the wrong time, it could easily put a company as risk for financial hard times. The following will detail some important factors to review when purchasing or leasing is an option. The Differences between Leasing and Purchasing Both leasing and purchasing has its pros and it cons. The trick is to figure out which would be better for a company’s current financial status. Leasing allows a lessee to avoid large down payments, keep updated materials, lower lease payments due to shared tax advantages, and the property that is being leased does not show as an asset or liability. These are all positive factors if your company is a smaller company and does not have the cash to purchase the material or only needs the material for a limited time. Next are a few pros of purchasing through a capital lease. Leasing payments on an operational lease might be higher than those payments on a capital lease due to interest rates and since the company does not own the property, it must not be abused or used to harshly because it will be returned to the lessor. A capital lease gives you tax breaks such as deprecation, while operational leasing does not. As stated above, operational leases (rental agreements) and capital leases (purchasing leases) both have...

...Photo Barn is one of three current tenants that have been at Burwood One since October 1997. Our business has expanded and contracted several times over the past 18 years and could be currently categorised as in a stable …. When landlord commenced the centre’s long awaited redevelopment, we, along with the other tenants at the time, had to absorb a significant downturn in our business. When the top carpark was blocked off, we saw an immediate drop off in sales, followed by 18-24 months of depressed sales, directly attributable to the reduced foot traffic. The last 12-18 months have shown some recovery in sales since the building works have been completed. In addition to this, our specific sector in the retail market has undergone radical change due to the paradigm shift to digital cameras and smart phones, and the explosion of online sale of cameras and other hardware. We have adapted to these industry changes and our product mix is even more focused on service delivery, and we are no longer reliant on camera sales to contribute to our sales figures. Photo Barn has always been a high quality photo lab, and our product and service range has adapted and expanded to meet the needs of both the local and wider market. We happily co-exist with low end photo product offerings (K-Mart) and attract a clientele willing to pay a reasonable price for our products and services. As an ever evolving business, we look at ways to grow our product offerings. Currently we...

...accounting treatment for this lease requires an analysis of several factors. We have received analysis from two accountants. Each analysis is incorrect. Our objective is to determine the proper accounting treatment for the lease. 1. Was the junior accountant’s analysis correct? Why or why not? The junior accountant has opinioned that the lease is an operating lease. He has reasoned that it is an operating lease because the equipment reverts to Lessor, Inc. at the conclusion of the lease term. This assertion would be correct if it were the only factor. However, International Accounting Standard (IAS) 17 (2010) lists “Examples of situations that individually or in combination would normally lead to a lease being classified as a finance lease” There are two other situations that qualify this lease as a financing lease. The lease term is a major part of the economic life of the asset. The lease term is 3 years. The useful life is four years. The present value of the lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset. The present value of the leased payments is $248,690. The fair value of the equipment is $265,000. the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset even if title is not transferred; International Accounting Standard 17 (2010 states “Examples of situations that individually or in combination would normally lead to a lease being classified as a finance lease are (a) the lease term is for the major part of...

...The FASB and IASB (the Boards) have proposed that substantially all leases be reported on a company’s balance sheet. In the income statement, the results of lease transactions would be recognized under a dual model—as either a financing (i.e., expense would be front-loaded) or ratably over the lease term (i.e., straight line expense). The recognition pattern generally would depend on whether the asset being leased is property (e.g., a building) or non-property (e.g., equipment). • Stakeholders benefit from financial statements that reflect the economics of a transaction. As such, we support the principle that a company should recognize the right to use an asset along with the contractual liability on its balance sheet. And, since not all leases are economically similar, we support a dual model for income statement recognition. However, we do not support an income statement recognition pattern based on the nature of the leased asset because such an approach does not necessarily reflect the economics of the lease. • We support an alternative income statement recognition pattern that is based on whether the lease, in effect, transfers the risks and rewards of ownership such that the company that is leasing the asset has, in substance, purchased the asset. Our alternative eliminates the quantitative bright-lines in existing US lease accounting standards, is familiar to those accustomed to the international lease accounting standards, better reflects the economics of the arrangement...
