Accounting for Leases
According to FASB statement No. 13 , a lease is defined as “an agreement conveying the right to use property, plant, or equipment for a stated period of time”.

Accounting for Leases :(contd.)
A lease involves a lessee and a lessor. A lessee acquires the right to use the property, plant and equipment and a lessor gives up the right. A lease is a contractual agreement and therefore the parties involved can incorporate any provision in the contract. All kinds of assets can be leased. Among the most popular are photocopies, computer, airplanes, and warehouses. Accounting for Leases

Lessors (source: Kieso, Weygandt, and Warfield )
Lessors who own the property: Banks: The largest lessors in the leasing industry. They provide general finance for companies. Examples: Wells Fargo, Chase, Citigroup. Captive leasing companies: subsidiaries whose primary business is to perform leasing operations for the parent company (i.e., structure lease contracts for the parent companies and their customers). Examples:
Chrysler Financial (for Daimler-Chrysler), IBM Global Financing (for IBM), Boeing Capital.

Lessors (contd.)
Independents: leasing companies whose primary business is to perform general finance for other companies. Their market share of leasing business has declined as the other two types of lessor’s market share has increased. Some independent lessors have become the captive finance companies for other companies without a leasing subsidiary.

Advantages of Leasing from Lessees' Viewpoint (source: Kieso and Weygandt)
1. Financing benefits: a. The lease provides 100% financing (no down payment is needed). For companies with cash shortage, lease is a good alternative to purchase; b. The lease contract may contain fewer restrictive provisions than other debt agreement; and c. The lease agreement creates a claim that is against only the leased asset , not against all assets.

Advantages of Leasing from Lessees' Viewpoint :(contd.)
2. Risk benefit: Reduce the risk of obsolescence. 3. Tax benefit: Tax deduction may be accelerated since it is often spread over the lease term (rather than the economic life of the property). The full cost of the leased asset can be written off including the part that relates to land.

Advantages of Leasing from Lessees' Viewpoint :(contd.)
4.Financial reporting benefit (off-balancesheet financing): For an operating lease, the lease does not add a liability or an asset to the balance sheet, and therefore does not affect financial ratios. By maintaining these ratios, the company's borrowing capacity can also be maintained. Off-balance-sheet financing: acquiring the right to use assets but not reporting the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet
Accounting for Leases 11
Advantages of Leasing from Lessees' Viewpoint :(contd.)
5. Billing benefit: Leasing permits higher charges because the interest element contained in the rental payments is treated as an expense.
6.Less Costly Financing: The income tax savings on depreciation expenses for the leasing company(the lessor) may pass on to the lessee in the form of a reduced rental payment.
Accounting for Leases 12
Advantages of Leasing from Lessees' Viewpoint :(contd.)
An example of using leasing to achieve off balance sheet financing: assuming that in 20X1, two identical companies, A and B, have the following data prior to any new acquisitions: current assets $3,000,000 noncurrent assets 5,000,000 current liabilities 2,000,000 noncurrent liabilities 2,500,000 stockholders’ equity 3,500,000
Accounting for Leases 13
Advantages of Leasing from Lessees' Viewpoint :(contd.)
On December 31, 20X1, A company purchases an equipment with a 5-year life costing $3,018,400 by signing a 5-year, 8% note requiring $755,923 to be paid at the end of each year staring December 31,20X2. The payments include interests at 8% on the beginning-of-year principal balance.The remainder of each annual payment reduces principal.

Advantages of Leasing from Lessees' Viewpoint :(contd.)
A company records the asset purchased and the note payable. A's financial data show the following changes:

15
Advantages of Leasing from Lessees' Viewpoint :(contd.)
noncurrent assets: $5,000,000 + 3,018,400 = $8,018,400 current liabilities: $200,000 + 755,923 * 0.926 = $2,699,985
noncurrent liabilities: $2,500,000+ (3,018,400 - 699,985) = $4,818,415 The rest remains unchanged.

Advantages of Leasing from Lessees' Viewpoint :(contd.)
Therefore; Before Acquisition After acquisition
current ratio $3,000,000/$2,000,000
=1.5 debt to stockholder equity $4,500,000/3,500,000 = 1.29
$3,000,000/2,699,985
= 1.11
Accounting for Leases
(2,699,985+4,818,415) $3,500,000 = 2.15
17
Advantages of Leasing from Lessees' Viewpoint :(contd.)
The current ratio falls significantly(from 1.5 to 1.11) while the debt to stockholders’ equity ratio increases 67% after the acquisition. The rate of return on investment in 20X2 could also be impaired (due to the increase of noncurrent assets). These adverse impacts on financial ratios will damage the borrowing capacity of A company and may also affect it's ability to sell stock.

Advantages of Leasing from Lessees' Viewpoint :(contd.)
On the other hand, assume that B company leases identical equipment by the use of a lease and agrees to pay $755,923 rent each year for the next 5 years. If interest rate is 8%, the present value of the equipment is $3,018,400. If the lease is classified as a capital lease, B records an asset and a liability and the effects on it's B/S are the same as the effects of purchase on A's B/S.
Accounting for Leases 19
Advantages of Leasing from Lessees' Viewpoint :(contd.)
However, if the lease is classified as an operating lease, B does not have to record an asset or a liability. Therefore, the financial ratios (i.e, the current ratio) will be same as before the acquisition. In sum, two identical economic events can have very different impact on key ratios of financial statement(F/S).
Accounting for Leases 20
Advantages of Leasing from Lessors' Viewpoint :(contd.)
1. A way of indirectly making a sale. 2. An alternative means of engaging in a profit opportunity. The lease agreement enables the lessor to earn a normal rate of return (in a form of interest) on the cost of leased asset.

Classification of Personal property Leases
A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership to the lessee represents a purchase by the lessee and a sale by the lessor and should be treated as a capital lease (SFAS 13). SFAS 13 provides criteria for determining the classification of leases by both lessees and lessors.

Classification of Leases Involving Personal Property
General Criteria for classifying leases Exhibit 1
Column A Criteria Applicable to Both Lessee and Lessor Column B Criteria Applicable to Lessor Only
a.The lease transfers ownership a.The collectibility of the minimum lease payments of the property to the lessee is reasonably assured (i.e., by the end of the lease term. predictable). b.The lease contains a bargain b.No important uncertainties purchase option surround the amount of c.The lease term is equal to or unreimbursable cost yet to greater than 75% of the be incurred by the lessor estimated economic life of the under the lease. leased property. d.The present value of the minimum lease payments (MLP) is equal to 90% or more of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor. Accounting for Leases 23
Classification by the lessee
Capital lease: Lease that meets one or more of the criteria in column A. Lessee should treat capital lease as a purchase of asset; recognize leased asset and obligation under capital lease. Operating lease: Lease that does not meet any of the criteria in Column A.
Accounting for Leases 24
Classification by the Lessor
Operating lease:
Lease that meets none of the criteria in col. A, or does not meet both criteria in col. B.
Direct Financing lease:
Lease that meets these three criteria: 1. One or more of the four criteria in col. A; 2. Both criteria in col. B; and 3. No manufacture's or dealer's profit.
Accounting for Leases 25
Classification by the Lessor (Contd.)
Sales-Type lease Lease that meets these three criteria: 1.One of more of the four criteria listed in col. A; 2. Both criteria in column B; and
3. Transaction involves a manufacturer or dealer's profit (or loss) for the lessor.
Accounting for Leases
26
Classification by the Lessor :(contd.)
A profit for lessor exists when the fair market value of the leased property is greater than its cost or carrying value. Items c and d of column A do not apply if the beginning of the lease term falls within the last 25% of the total estimated economic life.

Key Terms Related to Leases
Bargain Purchase Option A provision allowing the lessee to purchase the leased property at the end of the life of the lease at a price so favorable that the exercise of the option appears, at the inception of the lease, to be reasonably assured. Estimated Economic Life The remaining life of leased assets for its intended usage at the inception of the lease contract with normal repair and maintenance.
Accounting for Leases 28
Key Terms Related to Leases :(contd.)
Fair Value of Leased Property Price for which the property can be sold in an arm's length transaction between unrelated parties. For manufacturers and dealers, the fair value is the selling price. For others, the fair value is the cost of the asset to the lessor.
Accounting for Leases
29
Key Terms Related to Leases :(contd.)
Minimum Lease Payments(MLP): Payments that are required to be paid by the lessee to the lessor over the life of the lease. For a lease with a bargain purchase option (BPO), the MLP include (for both lessee and lessor): 1.The minimum periodic payments required by the lease over the lease term; and 2. The payment required by the BPO.
Accounting for Leases 30
Key Terms Related to Leases :(contd.)
Otherwise, the MLP include: 1. The minimum periodic payments, plus 2. Any guaranteed residual valuea, and 3. Any payments on failure to renew or extend the lease if the agreement specifies that the lease must be extended or renewed.
Accounting for Leases
31
Key Terms Related to Leases :(contd.)
a. for a lessee, the residual value must be guaranteed by the lessee; for a lessor, it can be guaranteed by either the lessee or a third party. Thus, a lessee's MLP could be less than a lessor's when the residual value is guaranteed by a third party. Leased Assets for a lessee = the Present Value (PV) of the MLP, Not to exceed the fair market value of the asset.

Key Terms Related to Leases :(contd.)
Executory costs are ownership-type costs
(I.e., insurance, maintenance and property taxes).
It is expected to be paid by the party with the ownership. In the case of capital lease (lessee assumes the ownership), if portion of the lease payment is for the reimbursement of the executory costs to the lessor, it should be subtracted from MLP computation.

Operating Lease: (Lessor)
Under an operating lease, lessor retains substantially all the risk and benefit of ownership. The leased equipment is reported on the balance sheet in Property,Plant and Equipment subsection entitled “Equipment Leased to Others" and record depreciation. The lessor usually pays the executory fees and records them as operating expenses.

The Accounting Treatment of an Operating Lease -Lessor
Example: assume that landlord Company (lessor) Leases a piece of equipment to Tenant Co. (lessee) for 5 years under the terms described on pages 32 and 33. Tenant agrees to pay $50,000 at the beginning of each year. The equipment was purchased by Landlord at a cost of $400,000. It has an estimated life of 10 years.

II. Accounting for Leases Treatments for Capital Lease
When a lease is reported as a capital lease, Lessee records an asset (i.e., leased equipment) and a liability (i.e., lease payable).
The amount of leased asset equals liability and is calculated as the present value of the minimum lease payments (MLP).
Accounting for Leases 45
Accouning Treatments for Capital Lease
In a capital lease, the lessee is usually responsible for the executory costs. If these costs are paid by the lessor, these costs should be deducted from the lease payments in computing the present value of MLP.
Accounting for Leases
46
Discount Rate used in computing the present value of MLP
In computing the PV of the MLP, lessee should use the lower of a.The lessee's incremental borrowing rate, or b.The lessor's implicit rate .
If b is unknown to lessee, lessee uses a. The discount rate used by lessor is lessor’s implicit interest rate.
Accounting for Leases 47
Discount Rate used in computing the present value of MLP (cont.)
The present value of f MLP may be different for a lessee and a lessor when different discount rates are used in computing the PV. The lower the rate is, the greater the PV of MLP.

Examples and Accounting Treatments for Capital Leases
Example A1: Equipment is leased under an agreement without a transfer of ownership, a bargain purchase option or a guaranteed RV.
Terms and provisions of lease agreement between Gardner company (lessor) and Martin company (lessee) dated January 1,1995:
1.The lease term is 4 years. The lease is noncancelable and requires equal payments of $32,923.45 at the end of each year.
Accounting for Leases 51
Example A1 (contd.)
2.The cost, and also fair value, of the equipment to Gardner (lessor) at the inception of the lease is $100,000. The equipment has an estimated economic life of 4 years and has a zero estimated residual value at the end of lease term. 3.There is no guarantee of the residual value by the Martin Company. 4.The Martin (lessee) Company agrees to pay all executory costs.

Comparison (contd.)
Capital lease expense is greater than that of operating lease expense for 1995 and 1996. However, this phenomenon is reversed in 1997 and 1998. The income impact of lease capitalization is negative for 1995 and 1996, but is positive for 1997 and 1998. The lease capitalization impact on retained earnings is always negative during the lease term and is zero when the lease term is up.

Guaranteed Residual Value
Guaranteed residual value (RV): The RV of the leased property which is guaranteed by the lessee (or by a third party not related to the lessor).
For lessee, only when the RV is guaranteed by the lessee, it would be included in the MLP. For lessor, the RV will be included in the MLP as long as it is guaranteed .
Accounting for Leases 92
Guaranteed Residual Value (contd.)
If the residual value is guaranteed,when the fair market value of the leased property at the end of the lease term is less than the guaranteed amount, the guarantor has to pay the difference to the lessor.
Lease provision will include guaranteed residual value only if no ownership transfer and no BPO.
Accounting for Leases 93
Payments in Advance with Guaranteed Residual Value
Example A3: Assume all the lease provisions are the same as in Example A2 except that there is a guaranteed residual value of $1,000 by the lessee. Also, the cost also the fair value of the equipment is $112,635.5, not $100,000 or $112,000.
Accounting for Leases
94
Payments in Advance with Guaranteed Residual Value (contd.)
A Lessor calculates the lease payment as: (Cost – PV of residual Value)a/ 3.401831 => (112,635 - 1,000 x 0.6355)/3.401831= 32,923
a. guaranteed by anyone or not guaranteed
Residual value (RV) is used as a factor to determine the amount to be recovered from the lessee. Major factors determining the implicit interest rate of a lessor: the risk of the lessee, whether the RV is guaranteed and the conditions of the credit market.
Accounting for Leases 95
Payments in Advance with Guaranteed Residual Value (contd.)
P.V. of MLP for both lessee and lessor is => $32,923.42 * 3.401831+$1,000 * 0.6355 = $112,635.5 The lease is a capital lease for lessee and a direct financing lease for lessor.

Lessors' Initial Direct Costs
Initial direct costs are costs that result directly from acquiring a lease. It would not have been incurred had that lease transaction not occurred
For example, costs related to evaluating the lessee's financial condition, costs of negotiating terms, preparing and processing lease documents, and closing the transaction
Accounting for Leases 121
Lessors' Initial Direct Costs (cont.)
For an operating lease, these costs are recorded as a prepaid asset and are allocated over the lease term as operating expense(in proportion to the rental received) .
Accounting for Leases
122
Lessors' Initial Direct Costs (cont.)_
For a capital lease a. direct financing type: these costs are deferred and allocated over the lease term (matching principle). b. a sales type lease: these costs are expensed at the inception of the lease because sales revenue is recognized at the inception.
Accounting for Leases
123
Lessors' Initial Direct Costs (cont.)_
In addition, employees' compensation and benefits associated with the time spent on performing those activities should also be included in as part of the direct costs.
All other lease related costs (i.e., advertising, serving existing leases, unsuccessful lease origination, supervision and administration) are expensed as incurred.
Accounting for Leases
124
Lessors' Initial Direct Costs (cont.)_
The lessor needs to determine a new (lower) implicit rate that will discount the remaining future minimum lease payments to the net investments as of the inception of the lease. Assuming the lessor incurred $5,000 of initial direct costs on a direct financing lease, it will record the costs as follows: Unearned interest: Lease 5,000 Cash (or A/P) 5,000
Accounting for Leases 125
Lessors' Initial Direct Costs (cont.)_
Consequence: The debiting of unearned interest for the direct costs will increase net investment and decrease the implicit rate (due to future cash flows remain unchanged). The lower rate would result in less interest revenue recognition each period and achieve the goal of deferring direct costs and including them as a reduction of income over the life of the lease.
Accounting for Leases 126
Sales-Type Leases (for lessor)
The major differences between a salestype lease and a direct financing lease are: a. the presence of a manufacturer's or dealer's profit or loss in a sales-type lease, and b. the accounting for initial direct costs.
Accounting for Leases
127
Sales-Type Leases (lessor)
The manufacturer's or dealer's profit is measured as the difference between (1) the present value of MLP (net of executory costs), and 2) the cost or carrying value of the asset
plus the initial direct costs less the present value of the unguaranteed residual value accruing to the benefit of lessor.
Accounting for Leases
128
Sales-Type Leases (lessor):(contd.)
The accounting treatment for a sales-type lease is the same as for a direct financing lease except for recognizing the profit at the inception of the lease. Example B1: on 1/1/95, the York Company (the lessor) leases an equipment to the Lake Company (the lessee) with the terms and provisions as indicated in the following slides:

129
Example for Sales-type Leases (Lessor)
1.The cost of the equipment is $120,000. The fair market value is $190,008.49. 2.No initial direct costs are incurred by the York Company. 3.The term of the lease is 10 Years, with annual payments of $30,000* received at the beginning of each year. The estimated economic life of the equipment is also 10 years. *Lessor's computation of the lease payment: (190,008 - PV of BPO $500)/6.3283 = 30,000

Sales-type Leases (Lessor)
4.The Lake Company agrees to absorb all executory costs.
5.The Lake Company is given an option to buy the equipment at the end of the lease term at $500. 6.The interest rate implicit in the lease is 12%. 7.The present value of 10 payments of $30,000 at 12% on an annuity basis plus the present value of the bargain purchase option is $190,008.49,calculated as follows:
Accounting for Leases 131
Sales-type Leases (Lessor)
Present value of 10 rents in advance at 12% (6.3283 * $30,000) = 189,847.50 Plus: Present value of $500 discounted at 12% (0.321973 * $500) = 160.99 Total present value = $190,008.49 8.The collectibility of the payment is reasonably assured, and there are no uncertainties involved in the lease.

Application of criteria for determination of lease classification by York company (lessor)
Classification Criteria Group I 1. Transfer of ownership 2. Bargain purchase option 3. Lease term is 75% of economic life 4. Present value of lease payments is 90% of fair value Group II 1. Collectibility reasonably assured 2. No uncertianties Criteria Remarks Met? No Yes Yes Yes 100% of life Yes The present value is $190,008.49, or 100% of estimated fair value
Yes Yes
Accounting for Leases 133
Application of criteria for determination of lease classification by York company (lessor):(contd.)
Conclusion: The lease is a sales-type lease. Since appropriate criteria are met and there is a manufacturer's or dealer's profit. The amount used as the selling price ($190,008.49) exceeds the cost ($120,000). That is, the present (fair) value of the lease payments is greater than the cost of the property.

Other Comments Related to Sales-Type Leases
The lessor does not record any depreciation on the leased asset since a sale is deemed to have taken place (due to BPO price is so low). The lessee will depreciate the leased asset and pay for the executory costs.

Other Comments Related to Sales-Type Leases
Initial Direct Costs (IRD) Involved in a SalesType Lease: The IRD under the sales-Type lease should be expensed at time of occurrence in order to match with the revenue recognition at the inception of the lease. This can be done by including these costs in the cost of goods sold or as a selling expense.

Contingent Rentals
Lease payments may be increased if a future event occurs (i.e., an increase of revenue over 30%; or an increase of usage on the leased property). The potential incremental lease payments are referred to as contingent rentals. Contingent rentals are not included in the MLP because they are not determinable at the inception of the lease.

Real Estate Leases
Leases of Land only: Due to the unlimited life of land, the 75% rule and 90% test will not apply to land in determining the lease type. Therefore, only if criteria a (ownership transfer) or b (with BPO) is met, a lease of land will be reported as a capital lease, otherwise, an operating lease. Under the capital lease reporting, no depreciation for land is recognized.

Real Estate Leases (condt.)
Lease of Land and Building: 1) Either criterion a or b is met, the lease of land and building will be recorded separately and the MLP of the lease would be allocated between the land and building based on their separate relative market values. 2)Neither criterion a nor b is met: a. the market value of land is equal or less than 25% of the combined fair value =>
