    The first question in this case is if the junior accountant’s analysis was correct. The junior accountant classified the lease as an operating lease. The junior accountant is incorrect because under IAS 17.10 this lease should be classified as a finance lease. IAS 17.10 lists out 5 situations that would normally result in a lease being classified as a finance lease and this lease meets 2 of those situations. The lease term for this lease is for “the major part of the economic life of the asset” and “at the inception of the lease, the present value of the minimum lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset”. The lease term is 3 years, while the economic life of the equipment is 4 years and the present value of the lease payments are only about $20,000 off from the fair value of the equipment at lease inception.…

    3. (TCO E) Dakota Trucking Company (DTC) is evaluating a potential lease for a truck with a 4-year life that costs $40,000 and falls into the MACRS 3-year class. If the firm borrows and buys the truck, the loan rate would be 10%, and the loan would be amortized over the truck's 4-year life. The loan payments would be made at the end of each year. The truck will be used for 4 years, at the end of which time it will be sold at an estimated residual value of $10,000. If DTC buys the truck, its after tax cash flows would be the following: (Year 1) - 6,339; (Year 2) -4,764; (Year 3)-9,943; (Year 4) -5,640; all occurring at the end of respective years.

    According to IAS 17-10(d), a lease must be classified as a finance if either “the lease term is for the major portion of the asset’s economic life” or “at the inception of the lease the present value of the minimum payment amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the lease asset.” With regards to this case, the term of the lease is equal to 75% of the equipment’s useful life. Also, the present value of the annual payments would equal $263,716 with the fair value of asset only being $265,000, which makes the present value of the minimum lease payment 99.5% of the fair value of the leased asset. With these criteria being met it satisfies the requirements of IAS 17 and would therefore be classified as a finance lease…

    Case 11-6 Lessee Ltd. Lessee Ltd., a British company that applies IFRSs, leased equipment from Lessor Inc. on January 1, 2007, for a period of three years. Lease payments of $100,000 are due to Lessor Inc. each year. Other expenses (e.g., insurance, taxes, maintenance) are also to be paid by Lessee Ltd. and amount to $2,000 per year. The lessor did not incur any initial direct costs. The lease contains no purchase or renewal options and the equipment reverts back to Lessor Inc. on the expiration of the lease. The remaining useful life of the equipment is four years. The fair value of the equipment at lease inception is $265,000. Lessee Ltd. has guaranteed $20,000 as the residual value at the end of the lease term. The $20,000 represents the expected value of the leased equipment to the lessee at the end of the lease term. The salvage value of the equipment is expected to be $2,000 after the end of its economic life. The lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is 11 percent (Lessor’s implicit rate is 10 percent and is calculable by the lessee from the lease agreement). The junior accountant of Lessee Ltd. analyzed the assets under lease and prepared a computation. The senior accountant of Lessee Ltd. reviewed the analysis and the computation and prepared a separate analysis. As the finance controller, you were given both of the computations to determine the correct accounting treatment. Calculations and journal entries performed by your junior and senior accountant are below. Present Value of the Lease Obligation Using the rate implicit in the lease (10 percent), the present value of the guaranteed residual value would be $15,026 ($20,000 × 0.7513), and the present value of the annual payments would be $248,690 ($100,000 × 2.4869). Using the incremental borrowing rate (11 percent), the present value of the guaranteed residual value would be $14,624 ($20,000 × 0.7312), and the present value of the annual payments would be $244,370 ($100,000 × 2.4437). Computations by the…

    Swisher Mower Case Summary

    • 3362 Words
    • 14 Pages

    This determination was calculated based on fixed costs of five percent of 1995 sales. The five percent was derived by subtracting the net profit margin (10%) from the mark-up on the sales price versus variable costs (15%). (See Appendix A) If the proposal from the private brand was accepted, to breakeven in year one, Swisher must sell 8,385 mowers. In year two, 7,623 mowers must be sold. To determine breakeven for the proposal, five percent was subtracted from the Manufactures Retail Price. The private brand proposal stipulated that this must be the price per acquired Road King. Also, variable costs increased by the following: Four percent ($26.00 per unit for overtime costs), one percent ($6.50 per unit for overhead costs), one percent ($6.50 per unit for direct materials costs), and one and a half percent ($9.75 per unit for increases in property taxes). An increase in inventory levels resulted in an increase of fixed costs. On average, an additional 2,100 units of Road King mowers will be in inventory if the proposal is accepted. The inventory increase is financed by short-term debt with an interest cost of prime plus 2.5% (currently 7%). Year one also included a one-time cost of $12,000. This cost would be required if Swisher accepts the proposal. (See Appendix A) A few important non-measurable costs were not included in the cost basis for determining breakeven. This should be dully noted and investigated further before a final decision can be reached. These non-measurable costs include an increase in potential lawsuit liability (the contract stipulates Swisher will be fully liable in the event a negligence lawsuit is filed), an increase in warranty work/repair (the contract stipulates Swisher will be fully responsible for any warranty work/repair and will reimburse the private brand for any labor costs associated with warranty work at $22.00 per hour), and a small…

    “Management has decided to acquire a new asset that costs $200,000. The estimated economic life of the asset is five years, but the firm wants the use of the asset only for three years. If the firm purchases the asset, it anticipates selling it at the end of three years for $50,000. The firm may lease the asset for $55,000 a year paid at the end of each year. The lease does not include maintenance. It is estimated that annual maintenance initially will be $5,000 (paid at the end of the year), but that cost will increase by $1,000 each year as the asset ages. The firm could purchase the asset with a five-year loan of $200,000. The loan will be retired in five payments of $40,000 unless the equipment is sold, in which case the loan must be paid off at closing of the sale. The interest rate is 10 percent and is paid at the end of each year on the balance owed. The annual interest payment is provided below. If the firm does purchase the asset, it will enter into a maintenance agreement with the manufacturer that costs $5,000 a year. The annual depreciation expense is provided below. The firm’s tax bracket is 40 percent. Based on the above information, should the firm borrow and purchase or should the…
