Exam 21: Accounting for Leases

Use the following information for questions 62 and 63. On January 1, 2014, Sauder Corporation signed a five-year noncancelable lease for equipment. The terms of the lease called for Sauder to make annual payments of $150,000 at the beginning of each year for five years with the title passing to Sauder at the end of this period. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years and no salvage value. Sauder uses the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its fixed assets. Sauder accordingly accounts for this lease transaction as a capital lease. The minimum lease payments were determined to have a present value of $625,479 at an effective interest rate of 10%. -In 2014, Sauder should record interest expense of

The lessor will recover a greater net investment if the residual value is guaranteed instead of unguaranteed.

On January 1, 2015, Yancey, Inc. signs a 10-year noncancelable lease agreement to lease a storage building from Holt Warehouse Company.

(c) The building has an estimated economic life of 10 years, with no residual value. Yancey depreciates similar buildings on the straight-line method. (d) At the termination of the lease, the title to the building will be transferred to the lessee. (e) Yancey's incremental borrowing rate is 11% per year. Holt Warehouse Co. set the annual rental to insure a 10% rate of return. The implicit rate of the lessor is known by Yancey, Inc. (f) The yearly rental payment includes $10,000 of executory costs related to taxes on the property. -From the lessee's viewpoint, what type of lease exists in this case?

Major reasons why a company may become involved in leasing to other companies is (are)

The gross profit amount in a sales-type lease is greater when a guaranteed residual value exists.

On January 2, 2014, Gold Star Leasing Company leases equipment to Brick Co. with 5 equal annual payments of $80,000 each, payable beginning January 2 31, 2014. Brick Co. agrees to guarantee the $50,000 residual value of the asset at the end of the lease term. Brick's incremental borrowing rate is 10%, however it knows that Gold Star's implicit interest rate is 8%. What journal entry would Gold Star make at January 2, 2014 assuming this is a direct-financing lease?

Use the following information for questions 75 through 80. (Annuity tables on page 21-25.) Alt Corporation enters into an agreement with Yates Rentals Co. on January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing a machine to be used in its manufacturing operations. The following data pertain to the agreement: (a) The term of the noncancelable lease is 3 years with no renewal option. Payments of $287,432 are due on January 1 of each year. (b) The fair value of the machine on January 1, 2015, is $800,000. The machine has a remaining economic life of 10 years, with no salvage value.

Alt does not have knowledge of the 8% implicit rate used by Yates. (e) Immediately after signing the lease, Yates finds out that Alt Corp. is the defendant in a suit which is sufficiently material to make collectibility of future lease payments doubtful. -If Alt accounts for the lease as an operating lease, what expenses will be recorded as a consequence of the lease during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015?

From the lessee's viewpoint, an unguaranteed residual value is the same as no residual value in terms of computing the minimum lease payments.

Lessees prefer to account for their leases as operating lease because:

While only certain leases are currently accounted for as a sale or purchase, there is theoretic justification for considering all leases to be sales or purchases. The principal reason that supports this idea is that

IFRS requires lesses to.use their incremental rate, unless the implicit rate is known by the lessee and the implicit rate is lower than the incremental rate.

On December 31, 2015, Kuhn Corporation leased a plane from Bell Company for an eight-year period expiring December 30, 2022. Equal annual payments of $300,000 are due on December 31 of each year, beginning with December 31, 2015. The lease is properly classified as a capital lease on Kuhn's books. The present value at December 31, 2015 of the eight lease payments over the lease term discounted at 10% is $1,760,528. Assuming the first payment is made on time, the amount that should be reported by Kuhn Corporation as the lease liability on its December 31, 2015 balance sheet is

IFRS does not provide detailed guidance for leases of natural resources, sale-leasebacks, and leveraged leases.
