Under IFRS lease classification depends on the substance of the transaction rather than on the form of the contract. IFRS defines a finance lease as a lease in which substantially all the risks and rewards inherent in ownership are transferred to the lessee. Any lease that meets this definition is classified as a finance lease. the 4 us gaap capital lease criteria meet this definition and therefore these criteria indicate a finance lease under IFRS

2. the lease contains a written bargain purchase option.
3. The lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset even if title is not transferred. note not 90% like GAAP
4. The present value of the minimum lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset.

Lessor - sales type/direct financing type criteria (US GAAP)
Definition

C - Collectability of the lease payments is reasonably predictable.
Term
Lessor: Sale-type lease
Definition
2 profits: Gain on sale and interest inc.
In a sales type lease, the fair value of the leased property at the inception of the lease differs from the cost or carrying amount to the lessor. This diff gives rise to a manufacturers or dealers profit or loss. it must be remembered that a lessor need not be dealer or manufacturer to realize a profit or loss, if at inception of the lease the fair value differs from the cost or carrying amount.
Term
Direct Financing lease
Definition
1 Profit = Interest Income:
In a direct financing lease, the fair value of the leased property at the inception of the lease is the same as the cost or carrying amount. There, there are no manufacturers or dealers profit or loss.
Term
Lessor - Financing Lease Criteria (IFRS)
Definition
Under IFRS a lessor classifies a lease as a finance lease if the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards inherent in ownership to the lessee. In other words, the lessee and the lessor use the same criteria for lease classification. As a result under IFRS, the lessee and the lessor will, in most cases, classify a lease consistently as a finance lease or an operating lease.
Term
Lessee capital (finance) lease accounting = buyer - entry
Definition
the lessee treats the capital finance lease as if an asset were being purchased over time. that is, as a financing transaction in which an asset is acquired and a corresponding obligation (liability) is created.
DR. Fixed asset - Leased property
CR. Liability - obligation under capital finance lease
Term
Record the lease: Capitalized amount include
Definition
The lessee records the lease as an asset and a liability at the lower (lesser) of:
1. fair value of the asset at the inception of the lease, or
2. cost=present value of the minimum lease payments
a. include (all payments that the lessee is obligated to make)
i. required payments
ii. Bargain purchase option
when the lease contains a bargain purchase option, the lease obligation includes the present value of the payment required to exercise the bargain purchase option in addition to the present value of the minimum lease payments.
iii. Guaranteed Residual value
The guaranteed residual value is the amount guaranteed by the lessee to the lessor for the estimated residual value of the asset at the end of the lease term. The lease obligation includes the present value in addition to the present value of the minimum lease payments.
Term
Record the lease: Capitalized amount excluded
Definition
Executory cost: Insurance, maintenance, and taxes can be paid by the lessor or lessee. If the lessor pays them, a portion of each lease payment representing executory costs is excluded from the calculation of minimum lease payments. If the lessee pays these costs directly, they are not included in the minimum lease payments.
ii. Optional buyout (not required and not a bargain) - under ifrs initial direct costs of the lease paid by the lessee are added to the amount recognized as a finance lease asset. Therefore, at lease inception, the amount of the lease asset and the lease obligation may differ.
Term
Interest Rate
Definition
when calculating the present value of the min lease payments, the lessee uses the lower (lesser) of the:

2. Lessee's incremental borrowing rate (the rate available in the market to the lessee (not prime))
Term
Terms to use in computing Depreciation of the Asset: Depreciation Method

Term
Terms to use in computing Depreciation of the Asset: Ownership transfer and written Bargain
Definition
The estimated economic life of the asset is used if the lessee takes ownership of the leased asset by the end of the lease or if there is a bargain purchase option as part of the agreement.
b. Ninety % FV and 75% Life: The lessee uses the lease term if the lessee does not take ownership of the asset by the end of the lease or if there is not a bargain purchase option. - o or w = asset life, N or S = over period of benefit - lease term .
Term
Terms to use in computing Depreciation of the Asset: Period of benefit (depreciable life) IFRS
Definition
The depreciation period is the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the asset. If there is a reasonable certainty that the lessee will own the leased asset after the lease term, then the leased asset should be depreciated over its useful life.
Term
LEase amortization-liability and asset on lessee's books
Definition
The obligation under capital (finance) lease account and the related Leased Asset account are recorded initially at the same amount.

A. Recording a Sales-Type (Finance) lease
under IFRS, a sales-type lease is referred to as a finance lease of an asset by a manufacturer or dealer lessor. The terms that are important to know for sales-type finance leases include: 1. Gross Investment (lease receivable) The minimum lease payments plus any unguaranteed residual value accruing to the benefit of the lessor. This is recorded as Lease payments receivable on the lessor's book. 2 profits: Gain on sale and interest income. formula lease payments(gross)+unguaranteed residual value (estimated fair value at end) = Gross investment.
Net investment: Lease payment (principal) + Unguaranteed residual value = Gross investment #1 * PV = Net investment. This is computed as the sum of the present value of the min lease payments including the periodic lease payments, bargain purchase option, or guaranteed residual value) and the present value of any unguaranteed residual value accruing to the benefit of the lessor, using the interest rate implicit in the lease.
unearned interest revenue: the gross investment less the net investment equals the unearned interest revenue. The unearned interest revenue is recognized over the life of the lease using the effective interest method and is included in the balance sheet as a deduction from the gross investment. formula Gross investment#1 - Net investment ##2= unearned interest revenue -future interest.
Cost of good sold: COst of asset(sold) - PV unguaranteed residual value(what you get back) = COGS(net given up)
Sales price (rule of sales type lease) = cost + profit = Present Value=selling price =FV - when sales price not given assume the above.
Term
summary: recording a direct financing (finance) lease
Definition
Under IFRS, a direct financing lease is referred to as a finance lease. Under both IFRS and US GAAP, no manufacturer's or dealer's profit is realized in a direct financing lease because the fair value of the leased property equals the cost or carrying value at the inception of the lease. The information necessary to record this type of lease is: Seller (with all the luck) 1 profit = interest income
Gross investment = lease payments & unguaranteed residual value (gross) = Gross investment.
Net investment: Gross investment #1*PV = Net investment (net principal)
unearned interest revenue: Gross investment - net investment = unearned revenue. note no COGS, no Sale - as only financing.
Term
Sale leaseback concept
Definition
the owner of a property (seller -lessee) sells the property simultaneously leases it back from the purchaser-lessor. Usually there is no visible interruption in the use of the property. S LB are treated as a financing transaction where profit may be deferred and amortized.
Under US GAAP 2 questions are involved in determining the treatment of any profits:
1. is the lease a capital or operating lease?
and 2. what portion of the rights to the leaseback property is retained? Under IFRS the treatment of any profits is determined by whether the lease is an operating lease or a finance lease.
Term
Selling Price: Sale-leaseback

Term
Sale-leaseback: Profit or loss on sale
Definition
is the amount that would have been recognized by the seller lessee assuming there was no leaseback. it is calculated by subtracting book value from FV (sales price)

Term
Excess profit on Sale-leaseback (us GAaP only):Capital lease excess profit
Definition
The amount of profit on sale that exceeds the recorded amount of the asset. note that this amount will be the same as in an operating lease unless the leaseback asset is recorded at the lower FV.
The recorded amount of the leaseback asset is the lesser of
1. the FV of the leased property or
2. the present value of the min lease payments
owns back.
Sales price - Asset NBV = tentative gain - leaseback asset = Excess gain.

Accounting by seller/lessee (US GAAP) Accounting of deferred Gain
Definition

Effective interest rate: Market rate:
Definition
coupon rate adjusted for premium or discount - makes the effective interest rate. because the amount of cash to be received in the future is fixed at the time the bond is sold the market will automatically adjust the issue price of the bond so that the purchaser receives the market rate of interest for comparable risk bonds i.e effective interest rate.

Term
Methods of discount and premium amortization: Straight line method
Definition
Simply divide the unamortized discount or premium by the # of periods the bonds are outstanding and amortize the same amount of discount or premium each period. This method of amortized results in a constant dollar amount of interest each period. The SL method is not GAAP but is allowed under US GAAP if the results are not materially diff from the effective interest method. interest exp is calculated as follows = Premium or discount/ # of periods bond is outstanding = Periodic amortization. Interest expense = (Face value * stated interest rate) - premium amortization or plus discount amortization. SL method is not permitted under IFRS.
Check amount (face* coupon) + or - Amortization = Interest expense.
