Chapter 21: 12Q (page 1239)

Walker Company is a manufacturer and lessor of computer equipment. What should be the nature of its lease arrangements with lessees if the company wishes to account for its lease transactions as sales-type leases?

Short Answer

Expert verified

One or more requirements must be met for the nature of the lease arrangement, such as lease transfer, bargain purchase option, lease term, and present value equal to more than 90%.

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Lease Agreement

Lease agreements have a bargaining option. Lease payments are typically estimated as collectables, and there is no significant uncertainty about the lessor鈥檚 future expenses. As a result, from the lessor's perspective, the lease qualifies as a capital lease.

02

Explaining the nature of the lease arrangements

If a manufacturer's or dealer's profit (or loss) exists at the start of the lease and the lease fits one or more of the four parameters specified below, Walker Company may use the sale-type lease strategy.

  1. The lessee receives ownership of the property;
  2. The lease includes a bargain-purchase option;
  3. The lease term is equal to or greater than 75% of the leased asset's estimated economic life; and
  4. The present value of the minimum lease payment (excluding executive costs) is equal to or greater than 90% of the leased asset's fair value.

Both of the following requirements must also be met:

  1. The collectability of the payments due from the lessee is reasonably foreseeable, and
  2. There is no significant uncertainty about the amount of the reimbursable expense to be incurred by the lessee.

(Lessee Accounting and Reporting) On January 1, 2017, Evans Company entered into a noncancelable lease for a machine to be used in its manufacturing operations. The lease transfers ownership of the machine to Evans by the end of the lease term. The term of the lease is 8 years. The minimum lease payment made by Evans on January 1, 2017, was one of eight equal annual payments. At the inception of the lease, the criteria established for classification as a capital lease by the lessee were met.

Instructions

(b) How should Evans account for this lease at its inception and determine the amount to be recorded?

Question: (Balance Sheet and Income Statement Disclosure鈥擫essee) The following facts pertain to a noncancelable lease agreement between Alschuler Leasing Company and McKee Electronics, a lessee, for a computer system.

Lessor鈥檚 implicit rate

Lessee鈥檚 incremental borrowing rate

10%

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.

(b) Assuming the lessee鈥檚 accounting period ends on December 31, answer the following questions with respect to this lease agreement.

(4) What items and amounts will appear on the lessee鈥檚 balance sheet at December 31, 2018?

(Lessee Entries and Balance Sheet Presentation, Capital Lease) Ludwick Steel Company as lessee signed a lease agreement for equipment for 5 years, beginning December 31, 2017. Annual rental payments of \(40,000 are to be made at the beginning of each lease year (December 31). The taxes, insurance, and the maintenance costs are the obligation of the lessee. The interest rate used by the lessor in setting the payment schedule is 9%; Ludwick鈥檚 incremental borrowing rate is 10%. Ludwick is unaware of the rate being used by the lessor. At the end of the lease, Ludwick has the option to buy the equipment for \)1, considerably below its estimated fair value at that time. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years, with no salvage value. Ludwick uses the straight-line method of depreciation on similar owned equipment.

Instructions

(d) What amounts would appear on Ludwick鈥檚 December 31, 2019, balance sheet relative to the lease arrangement?

(Operating Lease for Lessee and Lessor) On February 20, 2017, Barbara Brent Inc. purchased a machine for \(1,500,000 for the purpose of leasing it. The machine is expected to have a 10-year life, no residual value, and will be depreciated on the straight-line basis. The machine was leased to Rudy Company on March 1, 2017, for a 4-year period at a monthly rental of \)19,500. There is no provision for the renewal of the lease or purchase of the machine by the lessee at the expiration of the lease term. Brent paid $30,000 of commissions associated with negotiating the lease in February 2017.

Instructions

(b) What income or loss before income taxes should Brent record as a result of the facts above for the year ended December 31, 2017? (Hint: Amortize commissions over the life of the lease.)

Winston Industries and Ewing Inc. enter into an agreement that requires Ewing Inc. to build three diesel-electric engines to Winston鈥檚 specifications. Upon completion of the engines, Winston has agreed to lease them for a period of 10 years and to assume all costs and risks of ownership. The lease is noncancelable, becomes effective on January 1, 2017, and requires annual rental payments of \(413,971 each January 1, starting January 1, 2017.

Winston鈥檚 incremental borrowing rate is 10%. The implicit interest rate used by Ewing Inc. and known to Winston is 8%. The total cost of building the three engines is \)2,600,000. The economic life of the engines is estimated to be 10 years, with residual value set at zero. Winston depreciates similar equipment on a straight-line basis. At the end of the lease, Winston assumes title to the engines. Collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably certain; no uncertainties exist relative to unreimbursable lessor costs.

Instructions

(f) Show the items and amounts that would be reported on the balance sheet (not notes) at December 31, 2017, for both the lessee and the lessor.
