    The first question in this case is if the junior accountant’s analysis was correct. The junior accountant classified the lease as an operating lease. The junior accountant is incorrect because under IAS 17.10 this lease should be classified as a finance lease. IAS 17.10 lists out 5 situations that would normally result in a lease being classified as a finance lease and this lease meets 2 of those situations. The lease term for this lease is for “the major part of the economic life of the asset” and “at the inception of the lease, the present value of the minimum lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset”. The lease term is 3 years, while the economic life of the equipment is 4 years and the present value of the lease payments are only about $20,000 off from the fair value of the equipment at lease inception.…

    A. Firms with lower effective tax rates were found to have a higher proportion of leased debt to total assets than did firms with higher effective tax rates. Some lease agreements are in-substance long-term installment purchases of assets that have been structured to gain tax or other benefits to the parties. Since leases may take different forms, it is necessary to examine the underlying nature of the original transaction to determine the appropriate method of accounting for these agreements. That is, they should be reported in a manner that describes the intent of the lessor and lessee rather than the form of the agreement.…

    According to FASB ASC 840-30-05-4 (2009), lease capitalization includes direct financing and sales-type leases. These types of leases are recognizable by meeting one of the four criteria’s. A lessee under the capital lease method recognizes the lease according to FASB ASC 840-30-25-1 (2009), as an asset and as a commitment. The lessee accounts for the lease commitment in accordance to FASB ASC 840-30-30-1 (2009), at inception when the amount is equal to the present value (PV). In addition, the lease term will exclude the payment portion that represents specific cost such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes.

    The lease does not meet the transfer of ownership test, the bargain purchase test, or the economic life test [(5 years ÷ 8 years) < 75%]. However, it does pass the recovery of investment test. The present value of the minimum lease payments ($31,000 X 4.16986 = $129,266) is greater than 90% of the FV of the asset (90% X $138,000 = $124,200). Therefore, Callaway should classify the lease as a capital lease.…
