C15 – Blake County – GASB 87 Problem/Solution Task 1 Blake County had the following agreements in 20X9. You have been asked to advise on the accounting treatment for each of these agreements. Indicate whether each of these is (1) a short-term lease, (2) a lease, (3) a financed purchase, (4) a sale of an asset, or (5) none of the above. 1. Blake County obtains the right to use equipment that has a market rental rate of $24,000 per year for five years for $1 per year. – None of the above 2. Blake County enters into a 6-month lease on July 1, 20X0, that includes an option to extend the lease an additional 6 months. – Short-term lease 3. Blake County entered into a 12-month lease with an option to renew the lease for 12 months at a time up to 29 times. – Lease 4. Blake County enters into a multiyear contract that conveys the exclusive right to use a building on weekends. Other parties use the building on the other days. – Lease 5. Blake County enters into a 20-year contract on a building that transfers ownership to Blake County at the end of the contract period. – Financed purchase 6. Blake County enters into a 20-year contract on a building that transfers ownership to Blake County at the end of the contract period. The contract contains an option that allows Blake County to terminate the lease at the end of each year. It is likely that Blake County will exercise the option. – Lease 1
C15 – Blake County – GASB 87 Problem/Solution Rationale : 1. GASB Statement 87 specifies that a lease is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another entity’s nonfinancial asset as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Blake County’s right to use the equipment for $1 does not meet the description of an exchange or exchange-like transaction. 2. GASB Statement 87 states that a short-term lease is a lease that has a maximum term of 12 months or less, including any options to extend. 3. GASB Statement 87 states that a short-term lease is a lease that has a maximum term of 12 months or less, including any options to extend. Therefore, this is a lease. 4. The contract conveys control of the right to use the building and therefore is a lease. Under GASB Statement 87, the lease definition does not require uninterrupted control of the right to use the facility. 5. A contract that transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee at the end of the contract should be reported as a financed purchase by the lessee. 6. Because Blake County has the option to terminate the lease and it is reasonably likely that Blake County will exercise the option, the contract is a lease and not a financed purchase. 2
C15 – Blake County – GASB 87 Problem/Solution Task 2 Blake City enters into a lease contract to obtain equipment. The lease begins January 1, 20X1, and is for noncancelable period of 36 months. The city has an option to extend the lease for an additional 24 months. The city is doubtful that it will exercise the option to extend the lease. At the end of the lease term (either 36 or 60 months, depending on whether the option to extend is exercised), the lease may be continued on a month-to-month basis for up to 12 months, which either the city or the lessor can cancel. The monthly base rent is $2,000 per month, due on the first of each month, and includes 250 machine-hours per month. There is $10 fee for each machine-hour over 250. In addition, the lease contract requires $100 per month payment for routine repairs and maintenance. The lease contract states an interest rate of 5%. A separate contract for delivery and installation fee of $1,391 is due with the first lease payment. The city chooses to amortize the lease equipment on a straight-line basis.
