Outline the accounting procedures involved in applying the operating method by a lessor.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Under the operating method, each rental receipt of the lessor is recorded as rent revenue on the use of an item carried as a fixed asset.

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Lease

A lease is a valid bilateral agreement made between the lessor and the lessee for the transfer of ownership rights to a particular asset for a specific time and amount. The lease is terminated at the end of the lease period.

02

Explaining the accounting procedure involved in applying the operating method by a lessor

Each lessor's rental receipt is recorded as rent revenue on the use of an item held as an immovable asset under the operating method. Fixed assets are depreciated in the usual manner, with the period's depreciation expense being offset by rent revenue.

As per lease provisions, the amount of revenue recognized in each accounting period is equal to the amount of rent receivable. Maintenance charges and any other services supplied under the lease clause, which are relevant to the current accounting period, in addition to depreciation charges, are charged against recognized revenue.

Use the information for Rick Kleckner Corporation from BE21-3. Assume that at December 31, 2017, Kleckner made an adjusting entry to accrue interest expense of \(29,530 on the lease. Prepare Kleckner’s January 1, 2018, journal entry to record the second lease payment of \)53,920.

Rick Kleckner Corporation recorded a capital lease at \(300,000 on January 1, 2017. The interest rate is 12%. Kleckner Corporation made the first lease payment of \)53,920 on January 1, 2017. The lease requires eight annual payments. The equipment has a useful life of 8 years with no salvage value. Prepare Kleckner Corporation’s December 31, 2017, adjusting entries.

Question: (Lessee Capitalization Criteria) On January 1, Santiago Company, a lessee, entered into three noncancelable leases for brand-new equipment, Lease L, Lease M, and Lease N. None of the three leases transfers ownership of the equipment to Santiago at the end of the lease term. For each of the three leases, the present value at the beginning of the lease term of the minimum lease payments, excluding that portion of the payments representing executory costs such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes to be paid by the lessor, is 75% of the fair value of the equipment.

The following information is peculiar to each lease.

  1. Lease L does not contain a bargain-purchase option. The lease term is equal to 80% of the estimated economic life of the equipment.
  2. Lease M contains a bargain-purchase option. The lease term is equal to 50% of the estimated economic life of the equipment.
  3. Lease N does not contain a bargain-purchase option. The lease term is equal to 50% of the estimated economic life of the equipment.

Instructions

(c) Assuming that the minimum lease payments are made on a straight-line basis, how should Santiago record each minimum lease payment for each of the three leases above?

(Amortization Schedule and Journal Entries for Lessee) Laura Leasing Company signs an agreement on January 1, 2017, to lease equipment to Plote Company. The following information relates to this agreement.

  1. The term of the noncancelable lease is 5 years with no renewal option. The equipment has an estimated economic life of 5 years.
  2. The fair value of the asset at January 1, 2017, is \(80,000.
  3. The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term, at which time the asset is expected to have a residual value of \)7,000, none of which is guaranteed.
  4. Plote Company assumes direct responsibility for all executory costs, which include the following annual amounts: (1) \(900 to Rocky Mountain Insurance Company for insurance and (2) \)1,600 to Laclede County for property taxes.
  5. The agreement requires equal annual rental payments of $18,142.95 to the lessor, beginning on January 1, 2017.
  6. The lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is 12%. The lessor’s implicit rate is 10% and is known to the lessee.
  7. Plote Company uses the straight-line depreciation method for all equipment.
  8. Plote uses reversing entries when appropriate.

Instructions

(Round all numbers to the nearest cent.)

  1. Prepare an amortization schedule that would be suitable for the lessee for the lease term.

A lease agreement between Lennox Leasing Company and Gill Company is described in IFRS21-10. Refer to the data in IFRS21-10 and do the following for the lessor.

Inception date: May 1, 2017

Annual lease payment due at the beginning of each year, beginning with May 1, 2017: \(18,829.49

Bargain-purchase option price at end of lease term: \)4,000.00

Lease term: 5 years

Economic life of leased equipment: 10 years

Lessor’s cost: \(65,000.00; fair value of asset at May 1, 2017, \)81,000.00

Lessor’s implicit rate: 10%; lessee’s incremental borrowing rate 10%

The lessee assumes responsibility for all executory costs.

Instructions

(Round all numbers to the nearest cent.)

(a) Compute the amount of the lease receivable at the inception of the lease.

Question: (Balance Sheet and Income Statement Disclosure—Lessor) Assume the same information as in P21-4.

Annual lease payment due at the beginning of each year, beginning with October 1, 2017

\)62,700

The collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the costs yet to be incurred by the lessor. The lessee assumes responsibility for all executory costs, which amount to \(5,500 per year and are to be paid each October 1, beginning October 1, 2017. (This \)5,500 is not included in the rental payment of \(62,700.) The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term. The straight-line depreciation method is used for all equipment.

The following amortization schedule has been prepared correctly for use by both the lessor and the lessee in accounting for this lease. The lease is to be accounted for properly as a capital lease by the lessee and as a direct-financing lease by the lessor.
