In brief

IntermediateLeasesRecognitionSubsequent measurementDisclosure

ASC 842-30 governs how lessors account for leases already classified under 842-10 as sales-type, direct financing, or operating leases. For sales-type and direct financing leases the lessor derecognizes the underlying asset and recognizes a net investment in the lease (lease receivable plus unguaranteed residual asset, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease), with selling profit recognized immediately in a sales-type lease but deferred into the net investment in a direct financing lease; interest income then accretes at a constant periodic rate. For operating leases the lessor keeps the asset on its books and recognizes lease payments as income straight-line (or another systematic and rational basis) over the lease term, and a collectibility-not-probable assessment overrides normal recognition in all three models.

Key points (7)
  • At commencement of a sales-type lease the lessor recognizes a net investment in the lease and selling profit or loss and derecognizes the underlying asset (842-30-25-1, 842-30-40-1); initial direct costs are expensed if the underlying asset's fair value differs from its carrying amount, and otherwise deferred into the net investment (842-30-25-1(c)).
  • The net investment equals the lease receivable—present value of unreceived lease payments plus any residual value guaranteed by the lessee or an unrelated third party—plus the unguaranteed residual asset, both discounted at the rate implicit in the lease (842-30-30-1); for a direct financing lease that amount is reduced by any selling profit, which is deferred along with initial direct costs (842-30-30-2, 842-30-25-8).
  • After commencement the lessor accretes interest income at a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining net investment, reduces it for payments collected, does not remeasure absent a modification not accounted for as a separate contract, and records a loss allowance under Subtopic 326-20 considering the collateral (842-30-35-1 through 35-3).
  • If collectibility of the lease payments plus any lessee residual value guarantee is not probable at commencement, the lessor does not derecognize the asset and records payments received as a deposit liability until collectibility becomes probable or the contract is terminated/asset repossessed with nonrefundable payments (842-30-25-3); on becoming probable the lessor derecognizes the asset and deposit liability and recognizes a net investment and selling profit or loss (842-30-25-4).
  • If collectibility is probable at commencement for a sales-type or direct financing lease, it is not reassessed; later credit deterioration is handled through the 326-20 loss allowance (842-30-25-6).
  • For operating leases the lessor defers initial direct costs and recognizes lease payments as income straight-line (or another systematic and rational basis), variable lease payments when the triggering facts occur, and initial direct costs as expense on the same basis as lease income (842-30-25-10 through 25-11); if collectibility is not probable, income is capped at cash collected (842-30-25-12) with a current-period catch-up adjustment when the assessment changes (842-30-25-13).
  • Presentation and disclosure: net investment in sales-type and direct financing leases is presented separately from other assets (842-30-45-1), commencement-date profit or loss is presented in a manner reflecting the lessor's business model (gross revenue/COGS or a single net line item) (842-30-45-4), lease cash receipts are operating activities (842-30-45-5), and lessors must give tabular lease income, net investment components, residual risk management, and separate five-year maturity analyses for finance and operating leases (842-30-50-5 through 50-12).

For students. The classic exam traps are (1) selling profit is recognized immediately in a sales-type lease but deferred into the net investment in a direct financing lease, and (2) initial direct costs are expensed only when fair value ≠ carrying amount of the underlying asset. Also remember the collectibility gate: if collection is not probable at commencement, the lessor keeps the asset and books cash received as a deposit liability (or, for operating leases, caps income at cash collected).

Sales-Type Leases

842-30-25-1
At the commencement date, a lessor shall recognize each of the following and derecognize the underlying asset in accordance with paragraph 842-30-40-1:
  1. a
    A net investment in the lease, measured in accordance with paragraph 842-30-30-1
  2. b
    Selling profit or selling loss arising from the lease
  3. c
    Initial direct costs as an expense if, at the commencement date, the fair value of the underlying asset is different from its carrying amount. If the fair value of the underlying asset equals its carrying amount, initial direct costs (see paragraphs
    842-10-30-9 through 30-10
    ) are deferred at the commencement date and included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease. The rate implicit in the lease is defined in such a way that those initial direct costs eligible for deferral are included automatically in the net investment in the lease; there is no need to add them separately.
842-30-25-2
After the commencement date, a lessor shall recognize all of the following:
  1. a
    Interest income on the net investment in the lease, measured in accordance with paragraph 842-30-35-1(a)
  2. b
    Variable lease payments that are not included in the net investment in the lease as income in profit or loss in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur
  3. c
    Credit losses on the net investment in the lease (as described in paragraph 842-30-35-3).
842-30-25-3
The guidance in paragraphs
842-30-25-1 through 25-2
notwithstanding, if collectibility of the lease payments, plus any amount necessary to satisfy a residual value guarantee provided by the lessee, is not probable at the commencement date, the lessor shall not derecognize the underlying asset but shall recognize lease payments received—including variable lease payments—as a deposit liability until the earlier of either of the following:
  1. a
    Collectibility of the lease payments, plus any amount necessary to satisfy a residual value guarantee provided by the lessee, becomes probable. If collectibility is not probable at the commencement date, a lessor shall continue to assess collectibility to determine whether the lease payments and any amount necessary to satisfy a residual value guarantee are probable of collection.
  2. b
    Either of the following events occurs:
    1. 1
      The contract has been terminated, and the lease payments received from the lessee are nonrefundable.
    2. 2
      The lessor has repossessed the underlying asset, it has no further obligation under the contract to the lessee, and the lease payments received from the lessee are nonrefundable.
842-30-25-4
When collectibility is not probable at the commencement date, at the date the criterion in paragraph 842-30-25-3(a) is met (that is, the date at which collectibility of the lease payments plus any amount necessary to satisfy a residual value guarantee provided by the lessee is assessed as probable), the lessor shall do all of the following:
  1. a
    Derecognize the carrying amount of the underlying asset
  2. b
    Derecognize the carrying amount of any deposit liability recognized in accordance with paragraph 842-30-25-3
  3. c
    Recognize a net investment in the lease on the basis of the remaining lease payments and remaining lease term, using the rate implicit in the lease determined at the commencement date
  4. d
    Recognize selling profit or selling loss calculated as:
    1. 1
      The lease receivable; plus
    2. 2
      The carrying amount of the deposit liability; minus
    3. 3
      The carrying amount of the underlying asset, net of the unguaranteed residual asset.
842-30-25-5
When collectibility is not probable at the commencement date, at the date the criterion in paragraph 842-30-25-3(b) is met, the lessor shall derecognize the carrying amount of any deposit liability recognized in accordance with paragraph 842-30-25-3, with the corresponding amount recognized as lease income.
842-30-25-6
If collectibility is probable at the commencement date for a sales-type lease or for a direct financing lease, a lessor shall not reassess whether collectibility is probable. Subsequent changes in the credit risk of the lessee shall be accounted for in accordance with the credit loss guidance applicable to the net investment in the lease in paragraph 842-30-35-3.

Direct Financing Leases

842-30-25-7
At the commencement date, a lessor shall recognize both of the following and derecognize the underlying asset in accordance with paragraph 842-30-40-1:
  1. a
    A net investment in the lease, measured in accordance with paragraph 842-30-30-2
  2. b
    Selling loss arising from the lease, if applicable.
842-30-25-8
Selling profit and initial direct costs (see paragraphs
842-10-30-9 through 30-10
) are deferred at the commencement date and included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease. The rate implicit in the lease is defined in such a way that initial direct costs deferred in accordance with this paragraph are included automatically in the net investment in the lease; there is no need to add them separately.
842-30-25-9
After the commencement date, a lessor shall recognize all of the following:
  1. a
    Interest income on the net investment in the lease, measured in accordance with paragraph 842-30-35-1(a)
  2. b
    Variable lease payments that are not included in the net investment in the lease as income in profit or loss in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur
  3. c
    Credit losses on the net investment in the lease (as described in paragraph 842-30-35-3).

Operating Leases

842-30-25-11
After the commencement date, a lessor shall recognize all of the following:
  1. a
    The lease payments as income in profit or loss over the lease term on a straight-line basis unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the pattern in which benefit is expected to be derived from the use of the underlying asset, subject to paragraph 842-30-25-12
  2. b
    Variable lease payments as income in profit or loss in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur
  3. c
    Initial direct costs as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease income (as described in (a)).
842-30-25-12
If collectibility of the lease payments plus any amount necessary to satisfy a residual value guarantee (provided by the lessee or any other unrelated third party) is not probable at the commencement date, lease income shall be limited to the lesser of the income that would be recognized in accordance with paragraph 842-30-25-11(a) through (b) or the lease payments, including variable lease payments, that have been collected from the lessee.
842-30-25-13
If the assessment of collectibility changes after the commencement date, any difference between the lease income that would have been recognized in accordance with paragraph 842-30-25-11(a) through (b) and the lease payments, including variable lease payments, that have been collected from the lessee shall be recognized as a current-period adjustment to lease income.
842-30-25-14
See Example 1 (paragraphs
842-30-55-18 through 55-43
) for an illustration of the requirements when collectibility is not probable.

Sales-Type and Direct Financing Leases

842-30-30-1
At the commencement date, for a sales-type lease, a lessor shall measure the net investment in the lease to include both of the following:
  1. a
    The lease receivable, which is measured at the present value, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease, of:
    1. 1
      The lease payments (as described in paragraph 842-10-30-5) not yet received by the lessor
    2. 2
      The amount the lessor expects to derive from the underlying asset following the end of the lease term that is guaranteed by the lessee or any other third party unrelated to the lessor
  2. b
    The unguaranteed residual asset at the present value of the amount the lessor expects to derive from the underlying asset following the end of the lease term that is not guaranteed by the lessee or any other third party unrelated to the lessor, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease.
842-30-30-2
At the commencement date, for a direct financing lease, a lessor shall measure the net investment in the lease to include the items in paragraph 842-30-30-1(a) through (b), reduced by the amount of any selling profit.
842-30-30-3
See Example 1 (paragraphs
842-30-55-18 through 55-43
) for an illustration of the requirements for sales-type and direct financing leases.

Sales-Type and Direct Financing Leases

842-30-35-1
After the commencement date, a lessor shall measure the net investment in the lease by doing both of the following:
  1. a
    Increasing the carrying amount to reflect the interest income on the net investment in the lease. A lessor shall determine the interest income on the net investment in the lease in each period during the lease term as the amount that produces a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the net investment in the lease.
  2. b
    Reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments collected during the period.
842-30-35-2
After the commencement date, a lessor shall not remeasure the net investment in the lease unless the lease is modified and that modification is not accounted for as a separate contract in accordance with paragraph 842-10-25-8.
842-30-35-3
A lessor shall determine the loss allowance related to the net investment in the lease and shall record any loss allowance in accordance with Subtopic 326-20 on financial instruments measured at amortized cost. When determining the loss allowance for a net investment in the lease, a lessor shall take into consideration the collateral relating to the net investment in the lease. The collateral relating to the net investment in the lease represents the cash flows that the lessor would expect to receive (or derive) from the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset during and following the end of the remaining lease term.
842-30-35-4
If a lessor sells substantially all of the lease receivable associated with a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease and retains an interest in the unguaranteed residual asset, the lessor shall not continue to accrete the unguaranteed residual asset to its estimated value over the remaining lease term. The lessor shall report any remaining unguaranteed residual asset thereafter at its carrying amount at the date of the sale of the lease receivable and apply Topic 360 on property, plant, and equipment to determine whether the unguaranteed residual asset is impaired.
842-30-35-5
At the end of the lease term, a lessor shall reclassify the net investment in the lease to the appropriate category of asset (for example, property, plant, and equipment) in accordance with other Topics, measured at the carrying amount of the net investment in the lease. The lessor shall account for the underlying asset that was the subject of a lease in accordance with other Topics.

Operating Leases

842-30-35-6
A lessor shall continue to measure, including testing for impairment in accordance with Section 360-10-35 on impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the underlying asset subject to an operating lease in accordance with other Topics.

Subleases

842-30-35-7
If the original lessee enters into a sublease or the original lease agreement is sold or transferred by the original lessee to a third party, the original lessor shall continue to account for the lease as it did before.

Sales-Type and Direct Financing Leases

842-30-40-1
At the commencement date, a lessor shall derecognize the carrying amount of the underlying asset (if previously recognized) unless the lease is a sales-type lease and collectibility of the lease payments is not probable (see paragraph 842-30-25-3).
842-30-40-2
If a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease is terminated before the end of the lease term, a lessor shall do all of the following:
  1. a
    Measure the net investment in the lease for credit losses in accordance with Subtopic 326-20 on financial instruments measured at amortized cost and record any credit loss identified
  2. b
    Reclassify the net investment in the lease to the appropriate category of asset in accordance with other Topics, measured at the sum of the carrying amounts of the lease receivable (less any amounts still expected to be received by the lessor) and the residual asset
  3. c
    Account for the underlying asset that was the subject of the lease in accordance with other Topics.
842-30-40-3
If the original lease agreement is replaced by a new agreement with a new lessee, the lessor shall account for the termination of the original lease as provided in paragraph 842-30-40-2 and shall classify and account for the new lease as a separate transaction.
842-30-40-4
For guidance on the acquisition of the residual value of an underlying asset by a third party, see paragraph 360-10-25-2.

Source downloaded: .Record version d8d7a65c63f6. Effective date must be checked in the source.

Sales-Type and Direct Financing Leases

842-30-45-1
A lessor shall present lease assets (that is, the aggregate of the lessor's net investment in sales-type leases and direct financing leases) separately from other assets in the statement of financial position.
842-30-45-2
Lease assets shall be subject to the same considerations as other assets in classification as current or noncurrent assets in a classified balance sheet.
842-30-45-3
A lessor shall either present in the statement of comprehensive income or disclose in the notes income arising from leases. If a lessor does not separately present lease income in the statement of comprehensive income, the lessor shall disclose which line items include lease income in the statement of comprehensive income.
842-30-45-4
A lessor shall present any profit or loss on the lease recognized at the commencement date in a manner that best reflects the lessor's business model(s). Examples of presentation include the following:
  1. a
    If a lessor uses leases as an alternative means of realizing value from the goods that it would otherwise sell, the lessor shall present revenue and cost of goods sold relating to its leasing activities in separate line items so that income and expenses from sold and leased items are presented consistently. Revenue recognized is the lesser of:
    1. 1
      The fair value of the underlying asset at the commencement date
    2. 2
      The sum of the lease receivable and any lease payments prepaid by the lessee.
    Cost of goods sold is the carrying amount of the underlying asset at the commencement date minus the unguaranteed residual asset.
  2. b
    If a lessor uses leases for the purposes of providing finance, the lessor shall present the profit or loss in a single line item.
842-30-45-5
In the statement of cash flows, a lessor shall classify cash receipts from leases within operating activities. However, if the lessor is within the scope of Topic 942 on financial services—depository and lending, it shall follow the guidance in paragraph 942-230-45-4 for the presentation of principal payments received from leases.

Operating Leases

842-30-45-6
A lessor shall present the underlying asset subject to an operating lease in accordance with other Topics.
842-30-45-7
In the statement of cash flows, a lessor shall classify cash receipts from leases within operating activities.

842-30-50Disclosure

Source downloaded: .Record version e228df121a09. Effective date must be checked in the source.

842-30-50-1
The objective of the disclosure requirements is to enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. To achieve that objective, a lessor shall disclose qualitative and quantitative information about all of the following:
  1. a
    Its leases (as described in paragraphs 842-30-50-3(a), 842-30-50-4, and 842-30-50-7)
  2. b
    The significant judgments made in applying the requirements in this Topic to those leases (as described in paragraph 842-30-50-3(b))
  3. c
    The amounts recognized in the financial statements relating to those leases (as described in paragraphs
    842-30-50-5 through 50-6
    and
    842-30-50-8 through 50-13
    ).
842-30-50-2
A lessor shall consider the level of detail necessary to satisfy the disclosure objective and how much emphasis to place on each of the various requirements. A lessor shall aggregate or disaggregate disclosures so that useful information is not obscured by including a large amount of insignificant detail or by aggregating items that have different characteristics.
842-30-50-3

Implementation Guidance

842-30-55-1
This implementation guidance addresses the application of the provisions of this Subtopic in the following circumstances. A manufacturer sells equipment with an expected useful life of several years to end users (purchasers) utilizing various sales incentive programs. Under one such sales incentive program, the manufacturer contractually guarantees that the purchaser will receive a minimum resale amount at the time the equipment is disposed of, contingent on certain requirements.
842-30-55-2
The manufacturer provides the guarantee by agreeing to do either of the following:
  1. a
    Reacquire the equipment at a guaranteed price at specified time periods as a means to facilitate its resale
  2. b
    Pay the purchaser for the deficiency, if any, between the sales proceeds received for the equipment and the guaranteed minimum resale value.
There may be dealer involvement in these types of transactions, but the minimum resale guarantee is the responsibility of the manufacturer.
842-30-55-3
A sales incentive program in which an entity (for example, a manufacturer) contractually guarantees that it has either a right or an obligation to reacquire the equipment at a guaranteed price (or prices) at a specified time (or specified time periods) as a means to facilitate its resale should be evaluated in accordance with the guidance on satisfaction of performance obligations in paragraph 606-10-25-30 and the guidance on repurchase agreements in paragraphs
606-10-55-66 through 55-78
. If that evaluation results in a lease, the manufacturer should account for the transaction as a lease using the principles of lease accounting in Subtopic 842-10 and in this Subtopic.
842-30-55-4
A sales incentive program in which an entity (for example, a manufacturer) contractually guarantees that it will pay a purchaser for the deficiency, if any, between the sales proceeds received for the equipment and the guaranteed minimum resale value should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 460 on guarantees and Topic 606 on revenue from contracts with customers.
842-30-55-5
The lease payments used as part of the determination of whether the transaction should be classified as an operating lease, a direct financing lease, or a sales-type lease generally will be the difference between the proceeds upon the equipment's initial transfer and the amount of the residual value guarantee to the purchaser as of the first exercise date of the guarantee.
842-30-55-6
If the transaction qualifies as an operating lease, the net proceeds upon the equipment's initial transfer should be recorded as a liability in the manufacturer's balance sheet.
842-30-55-7
The liability is then subsequently reduced on a pro rata basis over the period to the first exercise date of the guarantee to the amount of the guaranteed residual value at that date with corresponding credits to revenue in the manufacturer's income statement. Any further reduction in the guaranteed residual value resulting from the purchaser's decision to continue to use the equipment should be recognized in a similar manner.
842-30-55-8
The equipment should be included in the manufacturer's balance sheet and depreciated following the manufacturer's normal depreciation policy.
842-30-55-9
The Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of Subtopic 360-10 on property, plant, and equipment provide guidance on the accounting for any potential impairment of the equipment.
842-30-55-10
At the time the purchaser elects to exercise the residual value guarantee by selling the equipment to another party, the liability should be reduced by the amount, if any, paid to the purchaser. The remaining undepreciated carrying amount of the equipment and any remaining liability should be removed from the balance sheet and included in the determination of income of the period of the equipment's sale.
842-30-55-11
Alternatively, if the purchaser exercises the residual value guarantee by selling the equipment to the manufacturer at the guaranteed price, the liability should be reduced by the amount paid to the purchaser. Any remaining liability should be included in the determination of income of the period of the exercise of the guarantee.
842-30-55-12
The accounting for a guaranteed minimum resale value is not in the scope of Topic 815 on derivatives and hedging. In the transaction described, the embedded guarantee feature is not an embedded derivative instrument that must be accounted for separately from the lease because it does not meet the criterion in paragraph 815-15-25-1(c).
842-30-55-13
Specifically, if freestanding, the guarantee feature would be excluded from the scope of paragraph 815-10-15-59(b) because of both of the following conditions:
  1. a
    It is not exchange traded.
  2. b
    The underlying on which settlement is based is the price of a nonfinancial asset of one of the parties, and that asset is not readily convertible to cash. It is assumed that the equipment is not readily convertible to cash, as that phrase is used in Topic 815.
842-30-55-14
Paragraph 815-10-15-59(b)(2) states that the related exception applies only if the nonfinancial asset related to the underlying is owned by the party that would not benefit under the contract from an increase in the price or value of the nonfinancial asset. (In some circumstances, the exclusion in paragraph 815-10-15-63 also would apply.)
842-30-55-15
Lastly, Topic 460 on guarantees does not affect the guarantor's accounting for the guarantee because that Topic does not apply to a guarantee for which the underlying is related to an asset of the guarantor. Because the manufacturer continues to recognize the residual value of the equipment guaranteed by the manufacturer as an asset (included in the seller-lessor's net investment in the lease) if recording a sales-type lease, that guarantee does not meet the characteristics in paragraph 460-10-15-4 and is, therefore, not subject to the guidance in Topic 460. Additionally, if the lease is classified as an operating lease, the manufacturer does not remove the asset from its books, and its guarantee would be a market value guarantee of its own asset. A market value guarantee of the guarantor's own asset is not within the scope of Topic 460, and the guidance in paragraphs
842-10-55-32 through 55-33
for an operating lease is not affected. As a result, the guarantor's accounting for the guarantee is unaffected by Topic 460.
842-30-55-16
Indemnification payments related to tax effects other than the investment tax credit should be reflected by the lessor in income consistent with the classification of the lease. That is, the payments should be accounted for as an adjustment of the lessor's net investment in the lease if the lease is a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease or recognized ratably over the lease term if the lease is an operating lease.
842-30-55-17
This Subtopic considers the right to control the use of the underlying asset as the equivalent of physical use. If the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset, recognition of lease income in accordance with paragraph 842-30-25-11(a) should not be affected by the extent to which the lessee uses the underlying asset.
842-30-55-17A
Notwithstanding the definition of fair value, if a lessor is not a manufacturer or a dealer, the fair value of the underlying asset at lease commencement is its cost, reflecting any volume or trade discounts that may apply. However, if there has been a significant lapse of time between the acquisition of the underlying asset and lease commencement, the definition of fair value shall be applied.

Illustrations

842-30-55-18
Example 1 illustrates how a lessor would account for sales-type leases and direct financing leases.
842-30-55-19
Lessor enters into a 6-year lease of equipment with Lessee, receiving annual lease payments of $9,500, payable at the end of each year. Lessee provides a residual value guarantee of $13,000. Lessor concludes that it is probable it will collect the lease payments and any amount necessary to satisfy the residual value guarantee provided by Lessee. The equipment has a 9-year estimated remaining economic life, a carrying amount of $54,000, and a fair value of $62,000 at the commencement date. Lessor expects the residual value of the equipment to be $20,000 at the end of the 6-year lease term. The lease does not transfer ownership of the underlying asset to Lessee or contain an option for Lessee to purchase the underlying asset. Lessor incurs $2,000 in initial direct costs in connection with obtaining the lease, and no amounts are prepaid by Lessee to Lessor. The rate implicit in the lease is 5.4839 percent.
842-30-55-20
Lessor classifies the lease as a sales-type lease because the sum of the present value of the lease payments and the present value of the residual value guaranteed by the lessee amounts to substantially all of the fair value of the equipment. None of the other criteria to be classified as a sales-type lease are met. In accordance with paragraph 842-10-25-4, the discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments and the present value of the residual value guaranteed by Lessee (5.4839 percent) for purposes of assessing whether the lease is a sales-type lease under the criterion in paragraph 842-10-25-2(d) assumes that no initial direct costs will be capitalized because the fair value of the equipment is different from its carrying amount.
842-30-55-21
Lessor measures the net investment in the lease at $62,000 at lease commencement, which is equal to the fair value of the equipment. The net investment in the lease consists of the lease receivable (which includes the 6 annual payments of $9,500 and the residual value guarantee of $13,000, both discounted at the rate implicit in the lease, which equals $56,920) and the present value of the unguaranteed residual value (the present value of the difference between the expected residual value of $20,000 and the residual value guarantee of $13,000, which equals $5,080). Lessor calculates the selling profit on the lease as $8,000, which is the difference between the lease receivable ($56,920) and the carrying amount of the equipment net of the unguaranteed residual asset ($54,000 - $5,080 = $48,920). The initial direct costs do not factor into the calculation of the selling profit in this Example because they are not eligible for deferral on the basis of the guidance in paragraph 842-30-25-1(c) (that is, because the fair value of the underlying asset is different from its carrying amount at the commencement date).
842-30-55-22
At the commencement date, Lessor derecognizes the equipment (carrying amount of $54,000) and recognizes the net investment in the lease of $62,000 and the selling profit of $8,000. Lessor also pays and recognizes the initial direct costs of $2,000 as an expense.
842-30-55-23
At the end of Year 1, Lessor recognizes the receipt of a lease payment of $9,500 and interest on the net investment in the lease (the beginning balance of the net investment in the lease of $62,000 × the rate implicit in the lease of 5.4839% = $3,400), resulting in a balance in the net investment of the lease of $55,900. For disclosure purposes, Lessor also calculates the separate components of the net investment in the lease: the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset. The lease receivable equals $50,541 (the beginning balance of the lease receivable of $56,920 - the annual lease payment received of $9,500 + the amount of interest income on the lease receivable during Year 1 of $3,121, which is $56,920 × 5.4839%). The unguaranteed residual asset equals $5,360 (the beginning balance of the unguaranteed residual asset of $5,081 + the interest income on the unguaranteed residual asset during Year 1 of $279, which is $5,081 × 5.4839%).
842-30-55-24
At the end of Year 6, Lessor reclassifies the net investment in the lease, then equal to the estimated residual value of the underlying asset of $20,000, as equipment.
842-30-55-25
Assume the same facts and circumstances as in Case A (paragraphs
842-30-55-19 through 55-24
), except that it is not probable Lessor will collect the lease payments and any amount necessary to satisfy the residual value guarantee provided by Lessee. In reaching this conclusion, the entity observes that Lessee's ability and intention to pay may be in doubt because of the following factors:
  1. a
    Lessee intends to make the lease payments primarily from income derived from its business in which the equipment will be used (which is a business facing significant risks because of high competition in the industry and Lessee's limited experience)
  2. b
    Lessee has limited credit history and no significant other income or assets with which to make the payments if the business is not successful.
842-30-55-26
In accordance with paragraph 842-30-25-3, Lessor does not derecognize the equipment and does not recognize a net investment in the lease or any selling profit or selling loss. However, consistent with Case A, Lessor pays and recognizes the initial direct costs of $2,000 as an expense at the commencement date.
842-30-55-27
At the end of Year 1, Lessor reassesses whether it is probable it will collect the lease payments and any amount necessary to satisfy the residual value guarantee provided by Lessee and concludes that it is not probable. In addition, neither of the events in paragraph 842-30-25-3(b) has occurred. The contract has not been terminated and Lessor has not repossessed the equipment because Lessee is fulfilling the terms of the contract. Consequently, Lessor accounts for the $9,500 Year 1 lease payment as a deposit liability in accordance with paragraph 842-30-25-3. Lessor recognizes depreciation expense on the equipment of $7,714 ($54,000 carrying value ÷ 7-year useful life).
842-30-55-28
Lessor's accounting in Years 2 and 3 is the same as in Year 1. At the end of Year 4, Lessee makes the fourth $9,500 annual lease payment such that the deposit liability equals $38,000. Lessor concludes that collectibility of the lease payments and any amount necessary to satisfy the residual value guarantee provided by Lessee is now probable on the basis of Lessee's payment history under the contract and the fact that Lessee has been successfully operating its business for four years. Lessor does not reassess the classification of the lease as a sales-type lease.
842-30-55-29
Consequently, at the end of Year 4, Lessor derecognizes the equipment, which has a carrying amount of $23,143, and recognizes a net investment in the lease of $35,519. The net investment in the lease consists of the lease receivable (the sum of the 2 remaining annual payments of $9,500 and the residual value guarantee of $13,000, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease of 5.4839 percent determined at the commencement date, which equals $29,228) and the unguaranteed residual asset (the present value of the difference between the expected residual value of $20,000 and the residual value guarantee of $13,000, which equals $6,291). Lessor recognizes selling profit of $50,376, the difference between (a) the sum of the lease receivable and the carrying amount of the deposit liability ($29,228 lease receivable + $38,000 in lease payments already made = $67,228) and (b) the carrying amount of the equipment, net of the unguaranteed residual asset ($23,143 - $6,291 = $16,852).
842-30-55-30
After the end of Year 4, Lessor accounts for the remaining two years of the lease in the same manner as any other sales-type lease. Consistent with Case A, at the end of Year 6, Lessor reclassifies the net investment in the lease, then equal to the estimated residual value of the underlying asset of $20,000, as equipment.
842-30-55-31
Assume the same facts and circumstances as in Case A (paragraphs
842-30-55-19 through 55-24
), except that the $13,000 residual value guarantee is provided by a third party, not by Lessee. Collectibility of the lease payments and any amount necessary to satisfy the third-party residual value guarantee is probable.
842-30-55-32
None of the criteria in paragraph 842-10-25-2 to be classified as a sales-type lease are met. In accordance with paragraph 842-10-25-4, the discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments (5.4839 percent) for purposes of assessing whether the lease is a sales-type lease under the criterion in paragraph 842-10-25-2(d) assumes that no initial direct costs will be capitalized because the fair value of the equipment is different from its carrying amount.
842-30-55-32A
Rather, Lessor classifies the lease as a direct financing lease because the sum of the present value of the lease payments and the present value of the residual value guaranteed by the third party amounts to substantially all of the fair value of the equipment, and it is probable that Lessor will collect the lease payments plus any amount necessary to satisfy the third-party residual value guarantee. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments and the present value of the third-party residual value guarantee for purposes of assessing whether the lease meets the criterion in paragraph 842-10-25-3(b)(1) to be classified as a direct financing lease is the rate implicit in the lease of 4.646 percent, which includes the initial direct costs of $2,000 that Lessor incurred.
842-30-55-33
At the commencement date, Lessor derecognizes the equipment and recognizes a net investment in the lease of $56,000, which is equal to the carrying amount of the underlying asset of $54,000 plus the initial direct costs of $2,000 that are included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease in accordance with paragraph 842-30-25-8 (that is, because the lease is classified as a direct financing lease). The net investment in the lease includes a lease receivable of $58,669 (the present value of the 6 annual lease payments of $9,500 and the third-party residual value guarantee of $13,000, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease of 4.646 percent), an unguaranteed residual asset of $5,331 (the present value of the difference between the estimated residual value of $20,000 and the third-party residual value guarantee of $13,000, discounted at 4.646 percent), and deferred selling profit of $8,000.
842-30-55-34
Lessor calculates the deferred selling profit of $8,000 in this Example as follows:
  1. a
    The lease receivable ($58,669); minus
  2. b
    The carrying amount of the equipment ($54,000), net of the unguaranteed residual asset ($5,331), which equals $48,669; minus
  3. c
    The initial direct costs included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease ($2,000).
842-30-55-35
At the end of Year 1, Lessor recognizes the receipt of the lease payment of $9,500 and interest on the net investment in the lease of $4,624 (the beginning balance of the net investment in the lease of $56,000 × the discount rate that, at the commencement date, would have resulted in the sum of the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset equaling $56,000, which is 8.258 percent), resulting in a balance in the net investment of the lease of $51,124.
842-30-55-36
Also at the end of Year 1, Lessor calculates, for disclosure purposes, the separate components of the net investment in the lease: the lease receivable, the unguaranteed residual asset, and the deferred selling profit. The lease receivable equals $51,895 (the beginning balance of the lease receivable of $58,669 - the annual lease payment received of $9,500 + the amount of interest income on the lease receivable during Year 1 of $2,726, which is $58,669 × 4.646%). The unguaranteed residual asset equals $5,578 (the beginning balance of the unguaranteed residual asset of $5,331 + the interest income on the unguaranteed residual asset during Year 1 of $247, which is $5,331 × 4.646%). The deferred selling profit equals $6,349 (the initial deferred selling profit of $8,000 - $1,651 recognized during Year 1 [the $1,651 is the difference between the interest income recognized on the net investment in the lease during Year 1 of $4,624 calculated in paragraph 842-30-55-35 and the sum of the interest income earned on the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset during Year 1]).
842-30-55-37
At the end of Year 2, Lessor recognizes the receipt of the lease payment of $9,500 and interest on the net investment in the lease (the beginning of Year 2 balance of the net investment in the lease of $51,124 × 8.258%, which is $4,222), resulting in a carrying amount of the net investment in the lease of $45,846.
842-30-55-38
Also at the end of Year 2, Lessor calculates the separate components of the net investment in the lease. The lease receivable equals $44,806 (the beginning of Year 2 balance of $51,895 - the annual lease payment received of $9,500 + the interest income earned on the lease receivable during Year 2 of $2,411, which is $51,895 × 4.646%). The unguaranteed residual asset equals $5,837 (the beginning of Year 2 balance of the unguaranteed residual asset of $5,578 + the interest income earned on the unguaranteed residual asset during Year 2 of $259, which is $5,578 × 4.646%). The deferred selling profit equals $4,797 (the beginning of Year 2 balance of deferred selling profit of $6,349 - $1,552 recognized during Year 2 [the $1,552 is the difference between the interest income recognized on the net investment in the lease during Year 2 of $4,222 and the sum of the interest income earned on the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset during Year 2]).
842-30-55-39
At the end of Year 6, Lessor reclassifies the net investment in the lease, then equal to the estimated residual value of the underlying asset of $20,000, as equipment.
842-30-55-40
Assume the same facts and circumstances as Case C (paragraphs
842-30-55-31 through 55-39
), except that collectibility of the lease payments and any amount necessary to satisfy the residual value guarantee provided by the third party is not probable and the lease payments escalate every year over the lease term. Specifically, the lease payment due at the end of Year 1 is $7,000, and subsequent payments increase by $1,000 every year for the remainder of the lease term. Because it is not probable that Lessor will collect the lease payments and any amount necessary to satisfy the residual value guarantee provided by the third party in accordance with paragraph 842-10-25-3, Lessor classifies the lease as an operating lease.
842-30-55-41
Lessor continues to measure the equipment in accordance with Topic 360 on property, plant, and equipment.
842-30-55-42
Because collectibility of the lease payments is not probable, Lessor recognizes lease income only when Lessee makes the lease payments, and in the amount of those lease payments. Therefore, Lessor only recognizes lease income of $7,000 at the point in time Lessee makes the end of Year 1 payment for that amount.
842-30-55-43
At the end of Year 2, Lessor concludes that collectibility of the remaining lease payments and any amount necessary to satisfy the residual value guarantee provided by the third party is probable; therefore, Lessor recognizes lease income of $12,000. The amount of $12,000 is the difference between lease income that would have been recognized through the end of Year 2 ($57,000 in total lease payments ÷ 6 years = $9,500 per year × 2 years = $19,000) and the $7,000 in lease income previously recognized. Collectibility of the remaining lease payments remains probable throughout the remainder of the lease term; therefore, Lessor continues to recognize lease income of $9,500 each year.
