Chapter 21: Q15P. (page 1250)

(Operating Lease vs. Capital Lease) You are auditing the December 31, 2017, financial statements of Hockney, Inc., manufacturer of novelties and party favors. During your inspection of the company garage, you discovered that a used automobile not listed in the equipment subsidiary ledger is parked there. You ask Stacy Reeder, plant manager, about the vehicle, and she tells you that the company did not list the automobile because the company was only leasing it. The lease agreement was entered into on January 1, 2017, with Crown New and Used Cars.

You decide to review the lease agreement to ensure that the lease should be afforded operating lease treatment, and you discover the following lease terms.

  1. Noncancelable term of 4 years.
  2. 2. Rental of \(3,240 per year (at the end of each year). (The present value at 8% per year is \)10,731.)
  3. 3. Estimated residual value after 4 years is \(1,100. (The present value at 8% per year is \)809.) Hockney guarantees the residual value of $1,100.
  4. 4. Estimated economic life of the automobile is 5 years.
  5. 5. Hockney鈥檚 incremental borrowing rate is 8% per year.

Step by step solution

01

The auditor is accountable to the board of directors and the shareholders who elect them. He is required to express his views on the accuracy and fairness of the financial statements.

Reclassification of Leased Auto

As a Capital Lease

During a scheduled review of a client's garage, I noticed a used car that was not recorded as one of the company's resources within the Appliance Assistant Ledger. When I asked about the vehicle with Plant Director Stacy Reeder, she replied that it was not included in other commerce resources because it was under a proper lease. After accounting for this agreement as an operating lease, Hockney, Inc. charged $3,240 in 2017 rent charges.

I concluded that the automobile should be capitalized after reviewing the non-cancelable lease agreement signed with Crown New and Used Cars on January 1, 2017. The lease period (4 years) is longer than 75% of the vehicle's useful life (5 years).

I suggested the customer capitalize this lease at the present value of the minimum lease payments: $10,731 (the present value of the monthly payments), plus $809 (the present value of the interest payments) (the present value of the guaranteed residual). It was advised that you write the following entry in your journal:

Date

Particular

Debit ($)

Credit ($)

Leased Equipment

11,540

Lease Liability

11,540

To account for the first year鈥檚 payments as well as to reverse the original entries, I advised the client to make the following entry:

Date

Particular

Debit ($)

Credit ($)

Lease Liability

2,317

Interest Expense

923

Rent Expense

3,240

Finally, during the course of the lease, this car must be depreciated. I calculated annual depreciation of $2,610 using a straight line (capitalized amount of $11,540 minus guaranteed residual of $1,100 divided by 4 year lease period). To record 2017 depreciation, the customer was recommended to make the following entry:

Date

Particular

Debit ($)

Credit ($)

Depreciation Expense

2,610

Accumulated Depreciation

Capital Leases

2,610
