Chapter 18, Problem 1BCC
Basis for Conclusions Case 1: Operating Lease Treatment versus Finance Lease Treatment
The lease rules discussed in this chapter have an effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Under U.S. GAAP, the accounting treatment of operating leases for the lessee were quite different than these new rules. Under the old rules, lessees did not include an asset or a liability on their balance sheets related to the lease.
Required
- a. Basing your answers on the Basis for Conclusions for ASU 2016-02, Leases (and including citations), explain FASB's reasoning behind changing the accounting treatment for lessee's operating leases
- b. Do you think that the right-of-use asset and the lease liability should be included on the lessee’s balance sheet in an operating lease? Justify your answer.

Students have asked these similar questions
Under the pre-2019 accounting standards, how are operating leases reported in the lessee's balance sheet?
Select one:
A. As an asset that is depreciated, similar to the company's other assets.
B. As either a short-term or long-term liability, depending on the length of the lease
C. At the present value of the future minimum lease payments.
D. Operating leases are not disclosed in the lessee's balance sheet or annual report.
E. None of the above
Which of the following is not one of the procedures for accounting by the lessee for a decrease in lease scope?
a. both are required accounting procedures
b. both are not required accounting procedures
c. Adjustment of the decreased finance lease liability to the present value of future lease payments
d. Decrease in the right of use asset equal to that of the peso decrease in finance lease liability to reflect decrease in scope
Answer True or False
Initial direct costs are immediately recognized as an expense by the lessor when the cost incurred in conjunction with an operating lease.
The lessor uses the implicit interest rate in determining the present value of the lease payments
Termination penalties are included in the lease payments if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
In a sale and leaseback transaction that qualifies as a sale under PFRS 16, the seller-lessee recognized only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor

- Lessee and Lessor Accounting Issues The following information is available for a noncancelable lease of equipment entered into on March 1, 2019. The lease is classified as a sales-type lease by the lessor (Anson Company) and as a finance lease by the lessee (Bullard Company). Assume that the lease payments are nude at the beginning of each month, interest and straight-line depreciation are recognized at the end of each month, and the residual value of the leased asset is zero at the end of a 3-year life. Required: 1. Record the lease (including the initial receipt of 2,000) and the receipt of the second and third installments of 2,000 in Ansons accounts. Carry computations to the nearest dollar. 2. Record the lease (including the initial payment of 2,000), the payment of the second and third installments of 2,000, and monthly depreciation in Bullards accounts. The lessee records the lease obligation at net present value. Carry computations to the nearest dollar.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding the new accounting rules, which take effect in 2019, for leases is false? If the lease term is one year or longer, a liability must be recognized. If the lease term is less than one year, an asset must be recognized. The new lease accounting rules will result in more assets and liabilities being recognized on the balance sheet. Leasing will likely remain popular under the new lease accounting rules because leases do not require a large initial outlay of cash.arrow_forwardUse the following information to decide whether this equipment lease qualifies as an operating, sales-type, or direct financing lease to a lessor. a. There is no transfer of ownership at the end of the lease term. There is no bargain purchase option. The lease term is 60% of the economic life of the leased property. The present value of lease payments, including a residual value guaranteed by the lessee, is 100% of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor. The collectability of the lease payments is reasonably assured. The leased asset was not of a specialized nature. b. Same as (a), except that the residual value is guaranteed by a third party, not the lessee. The present value of the residual value guarantee is 15% of the fair value of the leased property. c. Same as (a), except that: the present value of the lease payments, including a residual value guaranteed by the lessee, is only 50% of the fair value of the leased asset. The collectability of the minimum lease payments is not predictable.arrow_forward
- At its inception, the lease term of Lease G is 65% of the estimated remaining economic life of the leased property.

- Prior to 2019, lessees did not include the right-of-use asset and the lease liability for operating leases on their balance sheets. Both FASB and IASB wrote new standards to require that lessees nearly always report an asset and liability on their balance sheets when they engage in a lease transaction. This accounting results in which of the following?
