Memorandum

To: Supervisor CC: Client From: Cayce Harris Date: 1/13/2014 Re: Client Request

As requested, the following information was pulled directly from the FASB’s website in regards to Direct Financing leases and Sales-Type leases from a lessors prospective. The following describes what the lessor is responsible for when entering into and obtaining each type of lease. In order for the lessor to establish the lease as one of the above, the lease must meet one of the four criteria that determine the lease as a capital leases for the lessee.

Gross Investment in a Sales-Type Lease or Direct Financing Lease
30-6
…show more content…
The minimum lease payments net of amounts, if any, included therein with respect to executory costs (such as maintenance, taxes, and insurance to be paid by the lessor) including any profit thereon

• b. The unguaranteed residual value accruing to the benefit of the lessor. The estimated residual value used to compute this amount shall not exceed the amount estimated at lease inception except as provided in paragraph 840-30-30-7.

Sales-Type Leases

30-8 The lessor 's net investment in a sales-type lease shall consist of the gross investment (as measured in paragraph 840-30-30-6) minus the unearned income.

30-9 The lessor shall measure unearned income initially as the difference between the gross investment in the sales-type lease and the sum of the present values of the two components of the gross investment. The discount rate to be used in determining the present values shall be the interest rate implicit in the sales-type lease.

30-10 The present value of the minimum lease payments (net of executory costs, including any profit thereon), computed at the interest rate implicit in the lease, shall be recorded by the lessor as the sales price.

    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.…

    According to Schroeder, Clark, & Cathey (2011), “The lessor should report a lease as a sales-type lease when at least one of the capital lease criteria is met, both lessor certainty criteria are met, and there is a manufacturer’s or dealer’s profit (or loss). This implies that the leased asset is an item of inventory and that the seller is earning a gross profit on the sale”. In a sales-type lease the lessor records operating profit equal to the difference between the discounted minimum lease payments and the carrying amount and records interest income over the lease term. These leases are usually relevant to dealer and manufacturer lessors who also make a gross profit at the inception of the lease together with periodic interest…

    The lease does not meet the transfer of ownership test, the bargain purchase test, or the economic life test [(5 years ÷ 8 years) < 75%]. However, it does pass the recovery of investment test. The present value of the minimum lease payments ($31,000 X 4.16986 = $129,266) is greater than 90% of the FV of the asset (90% X $138,000 = $124,200). Therefore, Callaway should classify the lease as a capital lease.…
