TRUE / FALSE
Review

Lessors shall present assets subject to operating leases in their balance sheets according to the nature of the asset.
Under FRS 17.33
Lease payments under an operating lease shall be recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease
term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the users benefit.

Problems in FRS 17
1. Undue Complexity in Classification Hard to determine Operating/Finance lease
2. Does not faithfully represent lease transactions
i. Lack of comparability between Finance & Operating
ii. Rights & Obligations of Operating leases omitted Off B/S Financing
iii. Lessors residual interest in leased asset not separately measured or disclosed
3. Fails to meet users needs (User try to capitalize operating leases to enhance comparability)
Solutions
New lease standards to be issued in 2nd half of 2015
Part I
(2) In lease accounting, the lessor never has to compute PV(MLP), it only applies to the lessee.
TRUE / FALSE
Reason 1
MLP =
+ /
*GRV/BPO may be different between Lessee & Lessor May have different PV(MLP), both needs to compute
Reason 2
Under FRS 17.20
At the commencement of the lease term, lessees shall recognise finance leases as assets and liabilities in their
balance sheets at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum
lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The discount rate to be used in calculating the present
value of the minimum lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, if this is practicable to determine; if not,
the lessees incremental borrowing rate shall be used. Any initial direct costs of the lessee are added to the amount
recognised as an asset.
Interest rate may be different Depending on whether lessee knows about the implicit interest rate
Part I
(2) In lease accounting, the lessor never has to compute PV(MLP), it only applies to the lessee.
TRUE / FALSE
Reason 3
Guidelines It determines the lease classification for lessor
Tests
Is there a transfer of Ownership?
Is there a Bargain Purchase Option?
Is lease term > 75% of useful life?
Is PV of MLP at least substantially all of assets FV?
Is leased asset of specialized nature?
Part I
(3) In computing its MLP, the lessee has to include contingent rent that is payable during the lease term.
TRUE / FALSE
Under FRS 17.4
Contingent rent is that portion of the lease payments that is not fixed in amount but is based on the future amount of a factor
that changes other than with the passage of time (e.g. percentage of future sales, amount of future use, future price indices,
future market rates of interest).
Under FRS 17.25
Subsequent Measurement
Minimum lease payments shall be apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability.
The finance charge shall be allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of
interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rents shall be charged as expenses in the periods in which
they are incurred.
Part II
Darrent Inc sells its equipment to Darryl Inc at a price of $20 million and immediately leases it back on an operating
lease (with future rentals that are anticipated to be lower than market rentals). The carrying amount of the equipment
in Darrent Incs books at the time of the sale was $18 million while the fair value of the equipment was determined by a
professional valuer to be $23 million. At the point of the sale and leaseback, Darrent Inc should recognize:

Part IV
Alpha Precision Pte Ltd (Alpha) leases a piece of standard equipment from King Leasing Pte Ltd (King) on 1st January
2015. The fair value of the equipment is $229,343 and it is leased for its entire useful life of 5 years. The annual lease
payment computed by King is $55,000 and the first payment is payable on the signing of the lease on 1st January
2015. Subsequent payments are due on each anniversary of the signing of the agreement. Alphas incremental
borrowing rate is 12% and it is aware of the implicit interest rate of the lease. Alpha uses the straight-line method to
compute depreciation and its financial year-end is 31 December.
Use the same information as in Part III, except now assume that King (Lessor) is a retailer of the standard equipment
and has sold and provided financing to Alpha. The cost of the standard equipment is $150,000. The market interest
rate is 12%. A 1% variance in interest rate is considered significant. Kings financial year-end is 31 December.
IRR used by Lessor = 10%
FRS 17.45 requires sales to be recorded at MLP discounted at fair rate

Question 3 out of 3
Cost of goods sold and sales revenue are recorded at the inception of a direct
financing lease.
1) True
2) False
A direct financing lease is a method of financing and not sales. At the inception of this transaction the
asset is removed from the books of the lessor at cost, but no sales revenue is recorded. Revenue
on this type of lease is in the form of interest revenue over the term of the lease.

1) Incorrect because the current ratio and rate of return are usually lowered if the item appears on the balance sheet
2) Incorrect because comparability between companies is impacted if two or more companies record similar
transactions differently
3) Correct because the lessee have lower liabilities, lower D/E Ratio and thus lower risk in borrowing
4) Incorrect because when you change the composition of assets and liabilities, financial ratios will be affected.
