To determine

The criteria for defining the lease as finance lease or operating lease

As per the notes issued by Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB), the following are four criteria to determine is a lease is a capital lease or an operating lease:

  • Transfer of title: The asset is transferred to lessee at the end of the lease period concerned.
  • Purchase option: The purchase option is exercisable when the purchase price is sufficiently lower than expected fair value.
  • Economic life: The economic life of the lease period is 75% or more than the useful life of the asset.
  • Value recovery: Present value of lease payments is greater or equal to 90% of the fair value.

If a particular lease fulfils any one of the above four criteria, then it is considered as finance lease. If a lease does not fulfil any of the above four criteria, it would be considered as operating lease.

Sales-type lease

Sales type is a parallel type of direct financing whereby the owner (lessor) purchases the equipment to lease it and received the interest revenue over the period of lease for equipment, apart from the recognition of profit from sale of equipment.

Initial direct cost

Initial direct cost refers to the cost that

  1. (a) Related directly with the completing a lease agreement
  1. (b) Important for acquiring a lease
  1. (c) Would not have been incurred had the lease agreement not occurred.

To Classify: the type of lease by BL Company (Lessor) and by RB Company (Lessee)

Explanation of Solution

BL Company (Lessor)

Here at least one (Two in this scenario) classification criterion are met, this is a finance lease. As the fair value exceeds the lessor’s cost, it is sold for profit, in this sales type lease with selling profit.

RB Company (Lessee)

Since at least one (Two in this scenario) criteria are met, this is finance lease to the lessee. The lessee records the present value of lease payments as right-of-use asset and lease payable.

S.No Classification criteria Does it satisfy?
1 Does the lease agreement specify about ownership transfer? No  
2 Does the lease agreement state about bargain purchase option? No  
3 Does the term of lease constitute major part of the expected economic life of the asset? Yes Lease term = 8 years
Useful life = 8 years
4 Is the present value of lease payments greater than or equal to substantially (90%) all of the market/fair value of the asset? Yes Present value (1) = $645,526
Fair value = $645,526
5 Is the asset is of such a specialized nature which is expected to have an alternative use to lessor at the end of the term of lease? No  

Table (1)

Working note:

The present value of lease payments is calculated as below:

Present value of lease payments} =Annual lease payments×PVIFA (10%,8)=$110,000×5.86842=$645,526 (1)

Table (4)

The amortization table is prepared to present the pattern of interest expenses throughout the period. The schedule shows the lease balance and effective interest change over the 8- term period of lease using effective interest rate of 10%. Each lease payment after the first payment includes both the interest and amount that represents the reduction of outstanding balance. At the end of the lease period, the outstanding balance becomes zero.
