Chapter 21: Q16P_a. (page 1250)

(Lessee-Lessor Accounting for Residual Values) Goring Dairy leases its milking equipment from King Finance Company under the following lease terms.

  1. The lease term is 10 years, noncancelable, and requires equal rental payments of \(30,300 due at the beginning of each year starting January 1, 2017.
  2. The equipment has a fair value and cost at the inception of the lease (January 1, 2017) of \)220,404, an estimated economic life of 10 years, and a residual value (which is guaranteed by Goring Dairy) of $20,000.
  3. The lease contains no renewable options, and the equipment reverts to King Finance Company upon termination of the lease.
  4. Goring Dairy’s incremental borrowing rate is 9% per year. The implicit rate is also 9%.
  5. Goring Dairy depreciates similar equipment that it owns on a straight-line basis.
  6. Collectibility of the payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the costs yet to be incurred by the lessor.

Instructions

(a) Evaluate the criteria for classification of the lease, and describe the nature of the lease. In general, discuss how the lessee and lessor should account for the lease transaction.

Short Answer

Expert verified

For the lessor, it is a direct financing lease.

For the lessee, it is a capital lease

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of lease

A lease is a bilateral agreement entered into by two persons, one who has possession of the property and the other who has the right to use the leased property for a specific period and amount.

02

Evaluating the criteria for the classification of the lease and describing the nature of the lease.

The lease agreement meets the requirements for 75 percent useful life and 90 percent fair value, collectability is generally predictable, and there are no significant uncertainties regarding the lessor's future expenses. It is a capital lease for the lessee and a direct-financing lease for the lessor (since cost equals fair value).

The collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the costs yet to be incurred by the lessor. The lessee assumes responsibility for all executory costs, which amount to \(5,500 per year and are to be paid each October 1, beginning October 1, 2017. (This \)5,500 is not included in the rental payment of \(62,700.) The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term. The straight-line depreciation method is used for all equipment.

The following amortization schedule has been prepared correctly for use by both the lessor and the lessee in accounting for this lease. The lease is to be accounted for properly as a capital lease by the lessee and as a direct-financing lease by the lessor.

Assume that on January 1, 2017, Kimberly-Clark Corp. signs a 10-year noncancelable lease agreement to lease a storage building from Sheffield Storage Company. The following information pertains to this lease agreement. 1. The agreement requires equal rental payments of \(72,000 beginning on January 1, 2017. 2. The fair value of the building on January 1, 2017, is \)440,000. 3. The building has an estimated economic life of 12 years, with an unguaranteed residual value of \(10,000. Kimberly-Clark depreciates similar buildings on the straight-line method. 4. The lease is nonrenewable. At the termination of the lease, the building reverts to the lessor. 5. Kimberly-Clark’s incremental borrowing rate is 12% per year. The lessor’s implicit rate is not known by Kimberly-Clark. 6. The yearly rental payment includes \)2,471 of executory costs related to taxes on the property.

Instructions

Prepare the journal entries on the lessee’s books to reflect the signing of the lease agreement and to record the payments and expenses related to this lease for the years 2017 and 2018. Kimberly-Clark’s corporate year-end is December 31.

(Lessor Computations and Entries, Sales-Type Lease with Unguaranteed Residual Value) George Company manufactures a check-in kiosk with an estimated economic life of 12 years and leases it to National Airlines for a period of 10 years. The normal selling price of the equipment is \(278,072, and its unguaranteed residual value at the end of the lease term is estimated to be \)20,000. National will pay annual payments of \(40,000 at the beginning of each year and all maintenance, insurance, and taxes. George incurred costs of \)180,000 in manufacturing the equipment and $4,000 in negotiating and closing the lease. George has determined that the collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, that no additional costs will be incurred, and that the implicit interest rate is 10%.

Instructions

(a) Discuss the nature of this lease in relation to the lessor and compute the amount of each of the following items.

(2) Sales price.

Rick Kleckner Corporation recorded a capital lease at \(300,000 on January 1, 2017. The interest rate is 12%. Kleckner Corporation made the first lease payment of \)53,920 on January 1, 2017.
