Accounting For Classification Of The Lease Agreement With Developer Inc.

Therefore in this agreement the equipment is going to be partially financed by the lessor (Northwest) through a third-party financial institution (Lender) and act as a leveraged lease, wherein the lending company holds the title to the leased asset, while the lessor creates the agreement with the lessee (BNRR) and collects the payment for the use of the equipment. Therefore the lease in this case will be regarded as a financial decision for BNRR

Another way to treat this provision would be not to recognize at the inception of the lease but directly expense the costs when the required maintenance is performed. Regarding the accrual method in Alternative 1, ASC 360-15-25-5 prescribes “the use of accrue-in-advance (accrual) method of accounting for planned maintenance activities is prohibited in annual and interim financial reporting periods.” This is consistent to FASB’s opinion

• Lessor may require the lessee to perform general repairs and maintenance on the leased premises.

Case 11-6 deals with Lessee Ltd., a company that operates in Britain and uses IFRS. The question in this case is how to classify a lease that Lessee, Ltd. acquired from Lessor Inc. The accounting standard that deals with leases under IFRS is IAS 17. IAS 17 was originally issued in September 1982 and was reissued in December 2003. It classifies leases as either finance leases or operating leases. Finance leases make it so that the lessee recognizes an asset and a liability and the lessor recognizes a receivable, basically transferring all the risks and benefits of ownership. Under operating leases, the lessor still recognizes the asset and the lessee recognizes an expense.

To be able to classify the lease as a sales-type or direct financing lease Lambert Company must meet one or more of the following criteria:

The first sub-type lease from the standpoint of the lessor is a direct financing lease. To be classified as a

A statement of the terms of the lease to the property must be present. Id.

While working on a consulting engagement, a supervisor in the team has given an assignment. The client is a regional trucking company. A new customer has approached the client with an opportunity that would require 120 trailers—20 more than the trucking company currently owns. The client is uncertain how long the relationship with the customer may last, but the deal has the potential for significant growth. The supervisor has asked a research to be conducted on leases and lease structure issues on the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) website, in particular the current practice and thought related to direct financing, sales type, and operating leases. This paper is a memo addressed to the supervisor that summarizes

Although many variations of lease financing are available, potential lessees should be familiar with two general types of leases: the full payout lease and the fair market value (FMV) lease. The choice of lease is based upon the lessees’ long-term plans for the asset involved. A full payout lease is one in which the present value of the payment stream equals the acquisition cost of the asset. Options at the end of the lease typically include return, renewal, or purchase often for $1. The lessee is able to deploy and utilize the equipment, while the periodic payments of the full payout lease ease the financial burden of making a large IT acquisition. This option is a good choice when future ownership is desired, the dollar value of the equipment is substantial, the expected productive life of the assets is longer than five years, and the flexibility of spreading out payments would

b. Any guarantee by the lessee (including by a third party related to the lessee) of the residual value at the expiration of the lease term, whether or not payment of the guarantee constitutes a purchase of the leased property. If the lessor has the right to require the lessee to purchase the property at termination of the lease for a certain or determinable amount, that amount shall be considered a lessee guarantee of the residual value. If the lessee agrees to make up any deficiency below a stated amount in the lessor 's realization of the residual value, the residual value guarantee to be included in the minimum lease payments shall be the stated amount, rather than an estimate of the deficiency to be made up.

(Revised and updated 5/2013) Jack leases an office building from Jill. The lease is classified as an operating lease under the guidance of ASC Topic 840, Leases. The lease does not include any renewal options upon the expiration, but Jack is in the process of negotiating an extension of the lease. Jack proposes to make a single up-front payment of $1.2 million to Jill in exchange for an extension of the lease at the current rate for another 10 years. The extension would create a new lease under ASC par. 9 of 840-10-35-4. 1. 2. Should Jack include the $1.2 million in the calculation of the minimum lease payments when classifying the new lease? Assuming the new lease
