CHAPTER 13- LEASES
Learning Objectives:
 Differentiate between a Finance lease and operating lease.
 Accounting for finance leases by lessees and lessors.
 Accounting for operating leases by lessees and lessors
Leases - an agreement whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee, in return for a payment or series of
payments, the rights to use an asset for an agreed period of time.
✓ include hire purchase contract
Classification of Leases
Finance Lease- a lease that transfers substantially all the risk and rewards incidental to ownership
of an assets.
Operating Lease- a lease that does not transfer substantially all the risk and rewards incidental to
ownership of an assets
The following resulted to Finance Lease:
1. Transfer of ownership
2. Bargain purchase option
3. The lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset (‘75% criterion’).
4. The present value of the minimum lease payments is at least substantially all of the fair value of
the leased asset (‘90% criterion’).
5. The leased asset is specialized nature.
Lease of Land and Building
 Classified separately as either operating or finance lease.

 Minimum lease payment is allocated based on the relative fair value of leasehold interest.
 If cannot be allocated reliably, entire lease are classified as finance lease. Unless clearly
stated as both are operating lease.
 If land elements are immaterial, both are treated as single unit and classified as finance and
operating lease.
 Inception of lease- earlier of the date of the lease agreement and the date of commitment by the
parties.
 Classified either operating or finance lease.
 If finance lease, amount to be recognized are determined.
 Commencement of lease term- the date from which the lease is entitled to exercise its right to use
the lease asset.
FINANCE LEASE
 Accounting for Finance lease by lessees
 Fair value of the leased property at inception date
 Present value of the minimum lease payments at inception date
Minimum Lease Payments:
• Rentals, excluding contingent rent, costs for services and taxes reimbursable to the lessor;
• Bargain purchase option; and
• Guaranteed residual value
Contingent rent
-is lease payment that is not fixed in amount but rather based on the future amount of a factor that changes
other than with the passage of time
• Interest rate implicit in the lease- if determinable
• Incremental borrowing rate- if not determinable
 Initial direct cost- are capitalized as part of the asset recognized.
 Accounting for Finance lease by lessors
 Net investment in the lease
• Initial direct cost- are included in the initial measurement of the finance lease receivable and
reduce the amount of revenue recognized over the lease term.
• Interest rate implicit in the lease- is the discount rate that, at the inception of the lease, causes
the aggregate present value of:
 The minimum lease payments
 The unguaranteed residual value
• The lease receivable- is subsequently similar to an amortized cost financial asset.

Illustration:
On January 1, 20x1, Lessee enters into a 4-year lease of machinery with Lessor. Ownership of the
machinery will be transferred to the Lessee at the end of the lease term. Annual rent payable at the end of
each year is P100,000. The implicit interest rate, known to Lessee, is 10%.
Lessee estimates that the remaining useful life of the machinery is 5 years.
The machinery has a historical cost of P1,000,000 and accumulated depreciation of P683,013 in the books
of the Lessor.
 Initial Measurement:
The present value of the lease payments is computed as follows:
Annual rental 100,000

Multiply by: PV ordinary annuity of 1 @10%, n=4 3.169865
PV of lease payments- 1/1/x1 316,987

100,000 annual rent x 4 yrs. = 400,000 Finance Lease Receivable (Gross investment in the
lease)

(c)
(316,987 ÷ 5 yrs.) = 63,397 annual depreciation. The leased asset is depreciated over its useful life
because there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.
Journal entries in subsequent periods follow the same pattern.
OPERATING LEASE
-Lessee (lessor) recognizes the lease payment as expense (income) on a straight line basis over the lease
term, unless another systematic basis is more representative if the time pattern of the user’s benefit.
-Initial direct costs incurred by lessors are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and
recognize as expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.
-Initial direct costs incurred by lessees (such as lease bonus paid to the lessor) are treated as prepaid rent
and recognize as expense on the same basis as the lease expense.
Illustration:
On January 1, 20x1, Lessor acquires a machine for P1M and immediately leases it out to Lessee under a
3-year non-cancellable lease. Lessor incurs initial direct cost of P90,000 in negotiating the lease. The
estimated useful life of the machine is 10 years with no residual value. The lease is an operating lease to
both Lessor and Lessee. The lease payments, payable at each year-end, are as follows:
Year Rentals
20x1 145,000
20x2 115,000
20x3 100,000
 The annual lease income (expense) on a straight line basis is computed as follows:
Year Rentals
20x1 145,000
20x2 115,000
20x3 100,000
Total Rentals 360,000
