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

(b) What amount, if any, should Santiago record as a liability at the inception of the lease for each of the three leases above?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

Santiago Company should record as a liability at the inception of the lease only for leases L and M.

Step by step solution

01

 Meaning of Lease Capital 

A capital lease is one in which the lessor simply funds the leased asset, and the lessee retains all other ownership rights. As a result, the item is recorded as the lessee's property in the lessee's general ledger as a fixed asset.

02

Explaining the amount that Santiago should record as a liability at the inception of the lease for each of the three leases above.

For Lease L, Santiago Company should record an amount equal to the present value at the beginning of the lease period of the minimum lease payments during the lease duration as a liability at the lease's initiation. This figure eliminates the percentage of the payments that represent the lessor's executory costs, such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes, as well as any profit earned. If the sum so calculated exceeds the fair value of the equipment at the start of the lease, the fair value should be recorded as a liability.

For Lease M, Santiago Company should record an amount computed in the same way as Lease L as a liability at the lease's beginning, and the payment required under the bargain-purchase option should be included in the minimum lease payments at its current value.

For Lease N, Santiago Company should not record a liability at the inception of the lease.

The following are four independent situations.

(a) On December 31, 2017, Zarle Inc. sold computer equipment to Daniell Co. and immediately leased it back for 10 years. The sales price of the equipment was \(520,000, its carrying amount is \)400,000, and its estimated remaining economic life is 12 years. Determine the amount of deferred revenue to be reported from the sale of the computer equipment on December 31, 2017.

Morgan Leasing Company signs an agreement on January 1, 2017, to lease equipment to Cole Company. The following information relates to this agreement.

  1. The term of the noncancelable lease is 6 years with no renewal option. The equipment has an estimated economic life of 6 years.
  2. The cost of the asset to the lessor is \(245,000. The fair value of the asset at January 1, 2017, is \)245,000.
  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 $43,622, none of which is guaranteed.
  4. Cole Company assumes direct responsibility for all executory costs.
  5. The agreement requires equal annual rental payments, beginning on January 1, 2017.
  6. Collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable. There are no important uncertainties surrounding the amount of costs yet to be incurred by the lessor.

Instructions

(Round all numbers to the nearest cent.)

(c) Prepare all of the journal entries for the lessor for 2017 and 2018 to record the lease agreement, the receipt of lease payments, and the recognition of income. Assume the lessor鈥檚 annual accounting period ends on December 31.

What is the nature of a 鈥渟ale-leaseback鈥� transaction?

(Lessor Computations and Entries, Sales-Type Lease with Unguaranteed Residual Value) George Company manufactures a check-in kiosk with an estimated economic life of 12 years and leases it to National Airlines for a period of 10 years. The normal selling price of the equipment is \(278,072, and its unguaranteed residual value at the end of the lease term is estimated to be \)20,000. National will pay annual payments of \(40,000 at the beginning of each year and all maintenance, insurance, and taxes. George incurred costs of \)180,000 in manufacturing the equipment and $4,000 in negotiating and closing the lease. George has determined that the collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, that no additional costs will be incurred, and that the implicit interest rate is 10%.

Instructions

(a) Discuss the nature of this lease in relation to the lessor and compute the amount of each of the following items.

(2) Sales price.

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.
