FINANCIAL LIABILITY:Accounting for Lease by the lessee FRS 117 / MASB 10 : LEASES
DEFINITION • Lease is an agreement whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee in return for a payment or a series of payments the rights to use an asset for an agreed period of time.
Classification of leases 1. Finance lease • Lease that transfers substantially, all of the risks and rewards incident to ownership of an asset. Title may or may not eventually be transferred. ( substance over form principle) • Operating lease • Lease that not transfers all of the risks and rewards incident to ownership of an asset.
Criteria to classify lease as a finance lease • Classification depends on the substance of the transaction rather than the form of the contract. • At least one of the following criteria is satisfied. • The ownership of the asset is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term; • The lessee has the option to purchase the asset, and at the inception of the lease, it is certain that the option will be exercised • The lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset (>75%) • PV of the minimum lease payments amounts to or at least substantially equal to asset’s fair value (>90% of the assets fair value) • Lease assets are of a specialised nature
FINANCE LEASES Recognition and measurement by Lessee • Recognise; • as assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet • Measurement at inception date; • Amount equal to fair value of the lease assets or, • If lower, at the PV of the minimum lease payments. • Discount factor is the interest rate implicit in the lease ( if not practicable to determine, lease’s incremental borrowing rate)
Minimum lease payment • Should include; • payment of rental over the lease term plus purchase option price (if any); • Exclude any contingent rent, costs for services and taxes to be paid to the lessor
entry Dt. Asset under finance lease RM xxx Cr. Liability under finance lease RM xxx • THE ASSET should be recognised as fixed asset and accounted for according to MASB 15 / FRS 116- PPE • The lease asset should be depreciated over its useful life (if ownership is transferred); • Otherwise it should be depreciated over the shorter of the leases term or its useful life
FINANCE LEASE LIABILITY • The lease liability should be recorded at the same amount as the leased asset. • The lease payment – apportioned between • Finance charge • Reduction of outstanding lease liability • INTEREST / FINANCE CHARGE is the different between the sum of the gross lease payments and the fair value of the leases asset. • This finance charge should be recognised over the lease term to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability.
Method in allocating the finance charge; • Amortisation schedule using the effective/implicit interest rate • Sum year digit • Straight line method (only is finance charge is not material) • Standard requires the 1st method to be used to produce a constant periodic rate of interest.
