Discount Rate
Lessee computes the present value of the minimum
lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate,
with one exception.
If the lessee knows the implicit interest rate
computed by the lessor and it is less than the lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate, then lessee must use the
lessor’s rate.

E21-1 (Capital Lease with Unguaranteed Residual Value): On
January 1, 2011, Adams Corporation signed a 5-year noncancelable
lease for a machine. The terms of the lease called for Adams to
make annual payments of $9,968 at the beginning of each year,
starting January 1, 2011. The machine has an estimated useful life
of 6 years and a $5,000 unguaranteed residual value. Adams uses
the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its plant assets.
Adams’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%, and the Lessor’s
implicit rate is unknown.
Instructions
(a) What type of lease is this? Explain.
(b) Compute the present value of the minimum lease payments.
(c) Prepare all necessary journal entries for Adams for this lease
Chapter through January 1, 2012.

Operating Method

the use of the asset and ignores, in the accounting, any
commitments to make future payments.

Economics of Leasing
A lessor determines the amount of the rental, based
on the rate of return needed to justify leasing the
asset.
If a residual value is involved (whether guaranteed or
not), the company would not have to recover as much
from the lease payments

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 $343,000. The fair value of the
asset at January 1, 2010, is $343,000.
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 $61,071,
none of which is guaranteed.
4. The agreement requires annual rental payments, beg. Jan. 1, 2010.
5. Collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable. There

Meaning of Residual Value - Estimated fair value of

Residual Values
Lessee Accounting for Residual Value
The accounting consequence is that the minimum
lease payments, include the guaranteed residual
value but excludes the unguaranteed residual value.
NOTE: For the Lessee, the minimum lease payment includes the guaranteed
residual value but excludes the unguaranteed residual value.

The iGAAP leasing standard is IAS 17, first issued in 1982. This
standard is the subject of only three interpretations. One reason
for this small number of interpretations is that iGAAP does not
specifically address a number of leasing transactions that are
covered by U.S. GAAP. Examples include lease agreements for
natural resources, sale-leasebacks, real estate leases, and
Chapter
21-68 leveraged leases.
Both U.S. GAAP and iGAAP share the same objective of recording
leases by lessees and lessors according to their economic substance
—that is, according to the definitions of assets and liabilities.

The term sale-leaseback describes a transaction in
which the owner of the property (seller-lessee) sells the
property to another and simultaneously leases it back
from the new owner.
Advantages:
1. May allow seller to refinance at lower rates.
2. May provide another source of working capital,
particularly when liquidity is tight.
3. By selling the property, the seller-lessee may deduct
the entire lease payment, which is not subject to
alternative minimum tax considerations.
Chapter
21-78 LO 11 Describe the lessee’s accounting for sale-leaseback transactions.
Determining Asset Use
To the extent the seller-lessee continues to use the asset
after the sale, the sale-leaseback is really a form of financing.
Lessor should not recognize a gain or loss on the
transaction.

Sale-Leaseback Example
American Airlines on January 1, 2011, sells a used Boeing 757 having a carrying
amount on its books of $75,500,000 to CitiCapital for $80,000,000. American
immediately leases the aircraft back under the following conditions:
1. The term of the lease is 15 years, noncancelable, and requires equal
rental payments of $10,487,443 at the beginning of each year.
2. The aircraft has a fair value of $80,000,000 on January 1, 2011, and an
estimated economic life of 15 years.
3. American pays all executory costs.
4. American depreciates similar aircraft that it owns on a straight-line
basis over 15 years.
5. The annual payments assure the lessor a 12 percent return.
6. American’s incremental borrowing rate is 12 percent.
Chapter
21-83 LO 11 Describe the lessee’s accounting for sale-leaseback transactions.
Sale-Leaseback Example
This lease is a capital lease to American because
lease term exceeds 75 percent of the estimated life
of the aircraft and
present value of the lease payments exceeds 90
percent of the fair value of the aircraft to CitiCapital.
