(Comparison of Different Types of Accounting by Lessee and Lessor)

Part 2: Sales-type leases and direct-financing leases are two of the classifications of leases described in FASB pronouncements from the standpoint of the lessor.

Instructions

Compare and contrast a sales-type lease with a direct-financing lease as follows.

(b) Recognition of interest revenue.

Do not discuss the criteria for distinguishing between the leases described above and operating leases.

Short Answer

Expert verified

For both a sale-type lease and a direct financing lease, interest revenue is recognized over the term of the lease.

Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Interest Revenue

The money received by trade from whatever investments it makes or debt it keeps is referred to as interest revenue. Deducting present value from rental payments yields interest revenue. The amount of the difference is multiplied by the implicit interest rate.

02

Comparing and contrasting a sale-type lease with recognition of interest revenue.

The interest income is recognized during the lease term using the effective interest technique to provide a consistent periodic rate of return on the lease receivable for both a sales-type lease and a direct financing lease. Other techniques of income recognition, on the other hand, may be utilized if the results produced are not significantly different from those obtained using the interesting approach.
