Rhone-Metro Industries manufactures equipment that is sold or leased. On December 31, 2018, Rhone-Metro leased equipment to Western Soya Co. for a four-year period ending December 31, 2022, at which time possession of the leased asset will revert back to Rhone-Metro. The equipment cost $300,000 to manufacture and has an expected useful life of six years. Its normal sales price is $365,760. The expected residual value of $25,000 at December 31, 2022, is not guaranteed. Equal payments under the lease are $104,000 (including $4,000 maintenance costs) and are due on December 31 of each year. The first payment was made on December 31, 2018. Western Soya’s incremental borrowing rate is 12%. Western Soya knows the interest rate implicit in the lease payments is 10%. Both companies use straight-line
Required:
- 1. Show how Rhone-Metro calculated the $104,000 annual lease payments.
- 2. How should this lease be classified (a) by Western Soya Co. (the lessee) and (b) by Rhone-Metro Industries (the lessor)? Why?
- 3. Prepare the appropriate entries for both Western Soya Co. and Rhone-Metro on December 31, 2018.
- 4. Prepare an amortization schedule(s) describing the pattern of interest over the lease term for the lessee and the lessor.
- 5. Prepare the appropriate entries for both Western Soya and Rhone-Metro on December 31, 2019 (the second lease payment and amortization).
- 6. Prepare the appropriate entries for both Western Soya and Rhone-Metro on December 31, 2022, assuming the equipment is returned to Rhone-Metro and the actual residual value on that date is $1,500.

Lease
Lease is a contractual agreement whereby the right to use an asset for a particular period of time is provided by the owner of the asset to the user of the asset. The owner, who possesses the asset, is termed as ‘Lessor’ and user, to whom the right is transferred to, is termed as ‘Lessee’.
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:
1. Transfer of title: The asset is transferred to lessee at the end of the lease period concerned.
2. Purchase option: The purchase option is exercisable when the purchase price is sufficiently lower than expected fair value.
3. Economic life: The economic life of the lease period is 75% or more than the useful life of the asset.
4. 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/Finance lease
Sales type/Finance lease 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.
Lessee guaranteed residual value
The lessee guaranteed residual value of leased asset is an estimation of the commercial value of the asset at the end of lease term. The present value is considered when determining the lease classification criteria (Criteria 4). Lessee guaranteed residual value is added to lease receivable and also added to sales revenue.
To Show: how the annual lease payments of $104,000 is being calculated.

(2) (a)
the appropriate classification of lease by lessee and state the reason.
Explanation of Solution
Since at least one criteria is met, the lease is a finance lease to the lessee. The Lessee records the present value of lease payments as lease payable and right-of-use asset.
Working note:
The present value of lease payments is calculated as below:
The classification criteria for lessor are as follows:
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? | No | Lease term = 4 years Useful life = 6 years |
4 | Is the present value of lease payments greater than or equal to substantially all of the market/fair value of the asset? | Yes | Present value (4) = $348,685 Fair value = $365,760 |
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 (2)
(2) (b)
the appropriate classification of lease by lessor and state the reason.
Explanation of Solution
Since at least one criteria is met, the lease is a sales type lease with a selling profit to the lessor. The selling profit is calculated as follows:
