The equipment has an estimated economic life of six years.
2.
The asset’s fair value at January 1, 2011, is $80,000.

guaranteed.

Instructions
Answer
the following, rounding all numbers to the nearest cent.
(a)
Use a computer spreadsheet to prepare an amortization schedule for LeBlanc
Limited for the lease term.
(b)
Prepare all of LeBlanc’s journal entries for 2011 and 2012 to record the lease
agreement, the lease payments, and all expenses related to this lease. Assume
that the lessee’s annual accounting period ends on December 31.
(c)
Provide the required note disclosure for LeBlanc Limited concerning the lease
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.
(d)
Would this lease be considered a capital lease if the company reported under
IFRS? Would the note disclosure required in (c) above need to be modified under
IFRS?
This lease is a capital lease to the lessee because the
lease term (five years) exceeds 75% of the economic life of the asset (six
years). Also, the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeds 90% of
the fair value of the asset.

(d) Rather than using quantitative factors such as
the 75 percent and the 90 percent hurdles often referred to as the bright lines
used in PE GAAP, the IFRS criteria use qualitative factors to establish whether
or not the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the lessee, and
supports classification as a finance lease:
1. There is reasonable assurance that the lessee will
obtain ownership of the leased property by the end of the lease term. If there
is a bargain purchase option in the lease, it is assumed that the lessee will
exercise it and obtain ownership of the asset.
2. The lease term is long enough that the lessee will
receive substantially all of the economic benefits that are expected to be
derived from using the leased property over its life.
3. The lease allows the lessor to recover substantially
all of its investment in the leased property and to earn a return on the
investment. Evidence of this is provided if the present value of the minimum
lease payments is close to the fair value of the leased asset.
4. The leased assets are so specialized that, without
major modification, they are of use only to the lessee.
None of the numerical thresholds need be applied, as
was the case in PE GAAP, and so the treatment of the lease by the lessee would
be the same, although it would be referred to as a finance lease, rather than a
capital lease.
As for the note disclosure provided in
part (c) above, additional disclosures would also be
required about material lease arrangements including contingent rents,
sub-lease payments and lease-imposed restrictions. These do not apply in this
case.
