Accounting For Finance Lease PROBLEMS
Accounting For Finance Lease PROBLEMS
General jutsu:
LEASE
A lease, under Appendix A of IFRS 16, is defined as a contract or part of a contract that conveys the right to use the underlying
asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
MODELS OF LEASE
A. FINANCE LEASE
Under Appendix A, a finance lease is defined as a lease that transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of an underlying asset. As stated earlier, all leases shall be accounted for by the lessee as finance lease .
IFRS 16, paragraph 22, provides that at the commencement date, a lessee shall recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability.
This means that a lessee is required to initially recognize a right of use asset for the right to use the underlying asset over the
lease term and a lease liability for the obligation to make payments.
Underlying asset - the subject of a lease for which the right to use that asset has been provided by the lessor to the lessee.
Lessee - the entity that obtains the right to use an underlying asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Lessor - the entity that provides the right to use an underlying asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Right of use asset - defined as an asset that represents the right of lessee to use an underlying asset over the lease term in a
finance lease.
If there is no transfer of ownership to the lesse or if the purchase option is not reasonably certain to be exercised, then the
lessee shall depreciate the right of use asset over the shorter between the useful life of the asset and the lease term .
B. OPERATING LEASE
IFRS 16, paragraph 5, provides that a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election to apply the operating lease
accounting in two optional exemptions:
a. Short-term lease - a lease that has a term of 12 months or less at the commencement date of the lease (not including a
purchase option).
b. Low value lease - A lessee shall assess the value of an underlying asset based on the value of the asset when it is new
regardless of the age of the asset being leased.
PROBLEM On January 1, 2020, Mixx Company entered into a lease for a new warehouse.
Lease payments are P800,000 a year for 5 years, payable in advance starting January 1, 2020. The warehouse has an estimated
life of 10 years. The entity paid initial direct cost of P100,000 on January 1, 2020.
The lease provides for neither transfer of title to the lessee upon expiration of the lease term nor a purchase option.
The underlying asset is reverted to the lessor at the expiration of the lease term.
The interest rate implicit in the lease is 10%. The relevant present value factors are:
PV of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 10% for 5 periods 3.79
PV of an ordinary annuity of 1 in advance at 10% for 5
4.17

Iceberg Company is in the business of leasing new and sophisticated equipment. At the beginning of current year, an equipment
PROBLEM
was delivered to a lessee under a direct financing lease with the following provisions:
The entity incurred and paid initial direct costs at P143,400 in negotiating and arranging the lease. The equipment will revert to
Iceberg Company by the end of the lease.
REQUIRED Compute the total financial revenue to be recognized over the lease term and determine the new implicit interest rate.
Since there is an initial direct cost in the net investment in the lease, the implicit rate would decrease. Thus, the 12% implicit
interest rate cannot be used anymore.
The new implicit rate is computed by trial and error or through the interpolation process.
The procedure is determine the present value of gross rentals that would equate the net investment in the lease using a particular
rate.
Using the given present value of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 11% for 10 periods,
Annual rental PHP 600,000.00
Multiplied by given PV 5.889
Net investment in the lease PHP 3,533,400.00
Therefore, the new implicit rate is 11% since the total lease liability matches the net investment in lease.
Other method is by simply dividing the net investment in the lease by the annual rental.
Net investment in the lease PHP 3,533,400.00
Divided by: annual rental PHP 600,000.00
Present value of ordinary annuity of 1 5.889
If we are going to be searching this value on the PV of ordinary annuity of 1 table, we can see that this value is attributable to the
rate of 11% for 10 periods.
Therefore, the total financial revenue is P2,466,600 and the new implicit rate is 11%.
