IA2 - Chapter 7 Leases Part 1
Customers X enters into a five year contract with Supplier Y for the use of a towing
truck. The specification of the truck (i.e Brand, engine, capacity, dimensions, etc) is
stated in the contract.
Analysis: The three fibres are identified asset because they are physically
distinct and explicity identified in the contract.
Case 2: Not physically distinct
The contract is not specifically identify the 3 fibres within the 15 fibres
comprising the cable. Instead, The contract requires Supplier Y to make
available to Customer X the equivalent capacity of 3 fibres all throughout the
duration of the contract, which could be any 3 of the 15 fibres. Supplier Y
decide which of 15 fibres will be used in transmitting Customer's X data.
Analysis: The three fibres are not identified asset because they are not
physical distinct. Moreover, the equivalent capacity of 3 fibres does not
represent substantially all of the capacity of the larger cable, which
consist of 15 cables.
b. The supplier would benefit economically from the exercise from its
right to substitute the asset (i.e, the economic benefit associated with
substituting the asset are expected to exceed the cost associated
substituting the asset).
a. Right to change the type of output that is produced by the asset (For
example, to decide whether the use a shipping container to transport goods
or for storage, or decide to mix upon of product sold in a retail price);
b. Right to change when the output is produced (For example, to decide
when a machinery or a power plant will be used);
c. Right to change where the output is produced (For example, to decide
upon the destination of a truck or a ship, or to decide where an item
equiment is used); and d. Right to change whether the output is produced,
and the qunatity of that output (For example, to decide whether to produce
energy from the power plant and how much energy to produce from that
power plant).
Although essential for the efficient use of an asset, rights to
operate or maintain the asset do not necessarily grant the right to direct
how and for what purpose the asset is used. However, rights to operate an
asset may grant the customer the right to direct the use of the asset if the
relevant decision about how and what purpose the asset is used are
predetermined.
Protective rights
Protective rights include contractual restrictions designed to protect the
supplier's interest in the asset or its personnel, or to ensure the compliance
with laws or regulation.
.
For example, a contract may specify the maximum amount of use
of an asset or limit where or when the customer can use the asset, require a
customer to inform the supplier of changes on how an asset will be used.
• Supplier Z remain remain the owner of the specified trucks and shall
provide drivers for their operation and technicians for repairs and
maintenance. • The truck are to be used for hauling excess materials from
Customer's X mining site to any dumping site that customers X will specify.
Customer X can also use the truck to deliver construction aggregates to
customers. However customer X is prohibited from using the trucks to
transport toxic waste.
• Customer X operates 24/7 and 365 days a year. Thus, supplier Z is
to make all specified truck available at all times during the duration of the
contract. • The trucks are to be kept in customer X premises. If not in use, a
truck become idle. Supplier Z cannot retrieve any of the truck other than
for reason for default.
• If a truck needs to be serviced or repaired, Supplier Z is required to
provide a substitute truck of the same type.
Analysis:
The contract contains a lease because Customer X has the right to control
the use of an identified asset for a period of time. Thisis
evidenced by the following
a. The trucks are identified assets (explicitly specified in the contract) and
Customer X has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic
benefits from their use throughout the period of use (Customer X has
exclusive use of the trucks).
Analysis:
The contract does not contain a lease because there is no identified asset.
Customer X controls its booth but the contract is for space in the mall ,and this
space can change at the discretion or Supplier Y.
Supplier Y's substitution right is substantive because:
a. Supplier Y has the practical ability to substitute alternative spaces
throughout the period of use (i.e., Customer X cannot prevent Supplier Y from
substituting another space and an alternative space is readily available and
meets the specifications in the contract); and
b. Supplier Y would benefit economically from the exercise of its right to
substitute the space (i.e, substitution allows Supplier Y to make the most
effective use of mall space to meet changing circumstances and it entails minimal
cost as Customer X's booth can be moved easily).
Lease term
Lease term is "the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with
both; a. Periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is
reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
b. Periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is
reasonbly certain not to exercise that option."
> If only the lessor has the right to terminate a lease, the non-cancellable
period of the lease includes the period covered by the option to terminate
the lease.
In assessing whether a lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to
extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, an entity
considers all relevant facts and circumtances that create an economic
incentive for the lessee to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not
to exercise the option to terminate the lease.
For example:
> The lessee may be reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend
the elase if:
• Lease payments on the extended period are expected to be below
market rate. • The lessee made significant leasehold improvement with
useful life longer than the original lease term.
> The lessee may be reasonably certain not to exercise an option to
terminate the lease if:
• The cost of terminating the lease(e.g., relocation costs) are
significant. • The leased asset is important to the lessee's operations
(e.g., because it is specialized in nature or because of its location and
would be difficult to find a replacement asset if the lease is
terminated).
The shorter the non-cancellable period is the more likely that a lesser will
exercise its right to extend ( or not to exercise its right to terminate ) the
lease because the shorter the non-cancellable period is, the more likely
that the costs associated with obtaining a replacement asset would be
higher. The lease term begins at the commencement date and includes
any rent-free periods provided by the lessor to the lessee.
Illustration: Assessment of lease term - Option to extend
Extend X enters into a 3-year non-cancellable lease for an office space.
Upon expiration, Entity X has the option to extend the lease for another 3
years. Entity X determines the following at the commencement of the
lease.
• Entity X intends to make significant leasehold improvement with expected
useful life of 6 years.
• The lease payment on the extended period are equal to the lease
payments on the extended period are equal to the lease payments on the
original term of the lease, and therefore are expected to be below market
rate during the extended period, after consideration of the effects of
inflation.
• The office to Entity X. Entity X expects that an alternative office space in a
similar location would not be readily available at the end of the 3-year term
of the lease.
Analysis:
The lease term is 6 years, including the extension, it is reasonably certain
that Entity X will exercise the option to extend the lease. Each of the
additional information evidences an economic incentive for Customer X
exercise the option to extend the lease.
Accounting for lease by Lessee
Recognition
A lessee recognizes a lease and a right-of-use asset at the commencement date.
Discount rate
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the
lease. If that rate is not readily determinable, the lessee's incremental
borrowing rate is used.
The lessee's incremental borrowing rate is "the rate of interest
that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with
similar value to the right-to-use asset in a similar economic environment."
Initial measurement of Right of use asset
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost. The cost
comprises the following:
a. The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
b. Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less
any lease incentives received;
c. Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
d. The present value of any decommissioning and restoration costs for
which the entity has incurred an obligation, unless those costs are
incurred to produce inventories.

Recognition exemptions
A lessee may elect not to apply the recognition requirements described
earlier (i.e, the recognition of a lease liability and a right-of-use asset) for:
a. Short-term leases; and
b. Leases for ehich the underlying asset is to low value.
Short-term lease
A short-term lease is "a lease that, at the commencement date, has a
lease term of 12 months or less. A lease that contains a purchase option is
not a short-term lease."
The election for short-term leases is made based on the class
(i.e, grouping of asset with similar nature and use) of underlying asset
to ehich the right of use relates.

Reasonably certain
Is when the exercise option of purchase option is included in the lease payments.
- Security deposits do not affect the lessee’s lease liability and right-of-use asset.
- A lease will re measures the lease liability and adjust the right-of-use
asset if there are subsequent change to the lease payments. However,
if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and
there is a further reduction, the excesses.
Adjustment is charged to profit or loss.
> The lease liability is re measured by discounting the revised lease
payments using a revised discount rate if there is a:
a. Change in the lease term- the revised lease payments are determined
based on the revised lease term. Changes in the certainty or uncertainty
of the lessee exercising an extension option or not exercising the
termination option, result to a change in the lease term.
b. Change in the assessment of a purchase option - the revised lease
payments shall reflect the change in the amount payable under the
purchase option. The revised discount rate is the interest rate implicit in
the lease for remainder of the lease term, if the rate cannot be
determined the revised discount rate is the lessee’s incremental
borrowing rate at the end of reassessment. > The lease liability is re
measured by discounting the revised lease payments using a unchanged
discount rate if there is a:
a. Change in the residual value guarantee- the revised lease payments
shall reflect the change in the amount expected to be payable under
residual value guarantee.
b. Change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or
a rate used to determined those payments- the revised lease payments
shall reflect the change in the contractual cash flow resulting from the
occurrence of the specified event or conditions.
Lease Modification
- is the change in the scope of the lease or the consideration for a lease,
that was not part of the original term and condition of the lease.
Depending on its nature, a lease modification is accounted
for as a: a. Separate lease;or
b. Remeasurement of the existing lease liability and right-of-use asset.
Separate lease - A lease modification is accounted as a separate lease if
both the scope and consideration in the lease are increased due to the
addition of right to use one or more underlying assets and the increase in
the consideration reflects the stand alone price for the increase of scope.
Not a separate lease - a lease modification that does not result in separate
lease is accounted for as a remeasurement of the existing lease liability and
right-of-use assets.
