Leases Part 1 (Accounting by Lessees)
Leases Part 1 (Accounting by Lessees)
LEARNING CONTENT:
LEASE >>> is a contract or part of a contract that conveys the right to use the underlying asset for a period of
time in exchange for considerations.
Right to control the use of an asset >>> if throughout the period of use the lessee has the right to:
Obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset (exclusive use)
Example of economic benefits: using, holding or subleasing the asset
Direct use of the identified asset >> for what purpose and how the asset is used
PFRS 16 provides that all leases shall be accounted for by the lessee as a finance lease under the new
lease standard.
The Lessee is required to make an initial entry at the start of the lease contract as follows:
Debit: Right of use asset >> to recognize the right to use the identified asset
Credit: Lease Liability >>>>> to recognize the obligations to make payments
PFRS 16 also provides an exception to the general rule as stated above. In other words, the lessee is
permitted to deviate from the policy that all leases should be accounted for using the finance lease model
provided that:
1. Short-term lease
2. Low value lease
Note: The Lessee may recognize the lease payments as rent expense under the two exceptions.
Subsequent Measurement of Right of Use Asset >> the lessee shall measure right of use asset at cost
less accumulated depreciation and impairment
loss
Presentation >> as a separate line item in the statement of financial position or the lessee has an alternative
Option in the line item where the underlying asset would have been presented if owned
With adequate disclosure.
Depreciation >> Right of Use Asset shall be depreciated over the useful life when:
a) The lease transfers ownership at the end of the lease term to the lessee or
b) The lessee is certain to exercise purchase option
In the absence of the above conditions, the lessee shall depreciate the Right of Use asset:
Over the shorter term between useful life and lease term
Lease Liability
Initial Measurement of Lease Liability >>>>> at the present value of lease payments on commencement
date (PFRS 16.par 26) and subsequently, at amortized cost.
Intermediate Accounting 3 | 2
Important Notes on the computation of present value ( in the order of priority)
1. The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease
2. Incremental borrowing rate of the lessee is used in the absence of implicit interest rate
Subsequent Measurement of lease liability >>>> the lessee shall measure lease liability based on
amortized cost
As a general rule:
>>> Interest on the lease liability is computer using the effective interest method
>>> Lease payments are apportioned between interest and a reduction of the lease liability
FIXED PAYMENTS>>>> payments made by lessee to the lessor during the lease term at fixed amounts.
On January 01, 2020, Company A leased a machinery for 4 years having the same useful life as the term of
lease. The annual rental is P100,000 at the end of each year. With an implicit interest rate of 12%, the lease
contract further states that Company A will assume ownership of the machinery at the end of 4 years.
***Present value of 3.073 is derived from the mathematical table of present value of an annuity
Intermediate Accounting 3 | 3
Step 2: Compute for the depreciation of the Right of use asset
Given that, the lease transfers ownership, depreciation will be computed using useful life(incidentally,
useful life is equal to the lease contract in this example)
Notes:
The annual rental of P100,000 shall be treated as payment of principal and interest
The interest is computed as the difference between the face value of gross fixed payments of P400,000
over 4 years and the present value of P303,730 or P96,270
Presented below for a better understanding and as guide for the other subsequent entries is the table of
amortization:
Principa Present

12/31/2023 100,000 10,721 89,279 0
TOTAL 400,000 96,270 303,730
Explanations:
Payment = annual rental fixed payments
Interest = present value x 12% or P36,448
Principal = part of rental after deducting interest (for 2020 Interest = P100,000-36,448)
Present Value = is the balance of the lease liability after deducting annual principal
payment. For Dec. 31, 2020, present value is P303,730 less
P63,552 equals P240,178.

If a Statement of Financial Position will be prepared as of Dec. 31, 2020, the right of use asset will be presented
as a separate line item under noncurrent assets as:
Likewise, the Lease Liability would be reported partly as Current Liabilities for the amount of P71,179 and
partly Noncurrent Liabilities for P168,999 (P79,720 + P89,279)
SECURITY DEPOSITS >>>>>>> do not affect the lease liability of the lessee and right of use asset.
Intended to answer for damages on the leased property, the lessor
returns the amount at the end of the lease term. The lessee records security
deposits as a receivable measured at amortized cost.
Intermediate Accounting 3 | 5
VARIABLE PAYMENTS >>>>>> payments during the lease term that vary during the lease term due to
changes in some facts and circumstances happening after the commencement
date.
On January 01, 2020, Company B entered into an 8-year lease of a floor of a building with the following terms:
Annual Rental for the first 3 years payable at the end of the year P300,000
Annual rental for the next 5 years payable at the end of each year 400,000
Implicit interest rate 10%
PV of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 10% 2.487
PV for an ordinary annuity of 1 at 10% 3.791

Lessor Accounting Classifies the lease as finance lease if Essentially unchanged
substantially all of the risks and
rewards incidental to ownership of the
leased asset have been transferred to
the lessee, otherwise
With the new standard on Leases, the lessee will be required to recognize the majority of leases in its
balance sheet. Lessor accounting will remain essentially unchanged. Lastly, disclosure requirements
will increase significantly.
I. Identifying a Lease
Assessment of whether a contract contains a lease or not
All of the following criteria must be met for a contract to contain a lease.
a) There is an identified asset that the customer has the right to use.
b) The lessee obtains substantially all the economic benefits.
c) The lessee has the right to direct the use of the asset.
Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease Identified Asset
The Lease Identified Asset must be explicitly or implicitly identified in the contract.
There must be no substitution rights, meaning there is no practical ability to substitute the
asset.
The Leased Asset must be physically distinct.
Separating Components of a Contract into Lease and Non-Lease
For a contract that is, or contains, a lease, an entity shall account for each lease component within the
contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract.
Lessee
Allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-
alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.
The relative stand-alone price of lease and non-lease components shall be determined on the basis
of the price the lessor, or a similar supplier, would charge an entity for that component, or a similar
component, separately. If not readily available, the lessee shall estimate the stand-alone price,
maximizing the use of observable information.
Lessor
Allocate the consideration in the contract applying paragraphs 73–90 of PFRS 15.
II. Lease Term
An entity shall determine the lease term by considering the following:
1. non-cancellable period of a lease;
2. periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise
that option; and
3. periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to
Intermediate Accounting 3 | 9
exercise that option.
III. Lessee Accounting
Recognition
At the commencement date, a lessee is required to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a
term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value.
Initial Measurement
Right of Use Asset
At the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset at cost.
The cost of the right-of-use asset shall comprise:
initial measurement of Lease Liability;
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives
received;
any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
estimated dismantling/restoration cost.
Lease liability
Present value of lease payments that are not paid at that date (using interest rate implicit
in the lease, or if not readily determinable, lessee’s incremental borrowing rate)
Lease Payments that are not paid at the commencement date includes the following:
fixed payments;
o exercise price of a purchase option only if the lessee is reasonably certain to
exercise;
o amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
o variable lease paymentsthat depend on an index or a rate; and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the
lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
Subsequent Measurement
Right-of-Use Asset
After the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset applying a cost model,
unless it applies either of the other measurement models.
Measurement models
a) Cost model
Measure the right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.
b) Fair Value Model
If a lessee applies the fair value model in PAS 40 Investment Property to its investment property, the
lessee shall also apply that fair value model to right-of-use assets that meet the definition of
investment property in PAS 40.
c) Revaluation model
If right-of-use assets relate to a class of property, plant and equipment to which the lessee applies the
revaluation model in PAS 16, a lessee may elect to apply that revaluation model to all of the right-of-
use assets that relate to that class of property, plant and equipment.
Lease liability
After the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the lease liability by:
Intermediate Accounting 3 | 10
a) increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability;
b) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and
c) remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to
reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.
Presentation
Right-of-use asset
The Right-of-use asset can be presented in the Statement of Financial Position or disclose in the
notes separately from other assets or under the same line item where it would be presented as if the
asset is owned. Disclose in which line items in the statement of financial position include those right-
of-use assets or presented as investment property if it meets the definition of an investment property
Lease Liability
The lease liability can be presented as a separate line item or disclose on which line item in the
liabilities section of the Statement of Financial Position it is included.
Disclosure Requirements
A lessee shall disclose information about its leases for which it is a lessee in a single note or separate
section in its financial statements.
The lessee shall disclose the following:
ü depreciation charge for right-of-use assets by class of underlying asset;
ü interest expense on lease liabilities;
ü the expense relating to short-term leases accounted for applying paragraph 6. This expense need
not include the expense relating to leases with a lease term of one month or less;
ü the expense relating to leases of low-value assets accounted for applying paragraph 6. This expense
shall not include the expense relating to short-term leases of low-value assets
ü the expense relating to variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities;
ü income from subleasing right-of-use assets;
ü total cash outflow for leases;
ü additions to right-of-use assets;
ü gains or losses arising from sale and leaseback transactions; and
ü the carrying amount of right-of-use assets at the end of the reporting period by class of underlying
asset.
Impact on Financial Metrics
Most commonly used financial ratios and performance metrics will be impacted, such as debt to
equity ratio, current ratio, asset turnover, interest cover, EBIT, operating profit, net income.
Tax Implications
The rules remain unchanged for tax purposes.
For income tax purposes, the lessee may deduct the amount of rent paid or accrued from gross
income, including all expenses under the lease agreement which the lessee is required to pay
to or for the account of the lessor. The difference between the rent expense and the sum of
depreciation expense and interest expense is treated as future deductible expense and a
deferred tax asset is recognized.
For Value-Added Tax (VAT) purposes, the monthly payments to the lessor are reported
monthly since this is subject to VAT upon payment, and not at the inception of the lease.
Intermediate Accounting 3 | 11
For withholding tax purposes, the transaction remains a lease, which is subject to a 5%
withholding tax.
Transition Accounting and Effective Date
The effective date of PFRS 16 Leases is 1 January 2019. Early application is permitted but it can’t
be applied before an entity that also adopts IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
There are two methods to adopt the new leases standard. A lessee may choose between full
retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. The selected approach has to be applied
to the entire lease portfolio.
Full Retrospective Approach
The transition accounting under the full retrospective approach requires entities to retrospectively
apply the new standard to each prior reporting period presented as required by PAS 8 Accounting
Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. Under this transition approach, entities need
to adjust its equity at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.
Modified Retrospective Approach
Under this approach, a lessee does not restate comparative information. The date of initial application
is the first day of the annual reporting period in which a lessee first applies the requirements of the
new lease standard. At the date of initial application of the new lease standard, lessees recognize the
cumulative effect of initial application as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity as of 1
January 2019. Comparative figures for the year ended December 31, 2018 are not restated to reflect
the adoption of PFRS 16 but instead continue to reflect the lessee’s accounting policies under PAS
17 Leases.
IV. Lessor Accounting
PFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in PAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor
continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases
differently.
V. Steps to consider in Transition to PFRS 16
At year-end or before the start of the audit, the following are the steps needed to be taken into consideration to
assess the impact of PFRS 16.
1. Review all lease contracts entered into by the Company as of December 31, 2019 with lease term of
more than twelve (12) months.
2. Assess whether the contract qualifies as a lease.
a. Compute for the right-of-use asset and lease liability to be recognized and provide amortization
for the lease liability.
b. Calculate the deferred tax asset to be recognized at year-end.
1. Consider the pro-forma journal entries for the application of standard as well as for the
restatement of opening balances.
Sample Problem
ABC entered into the contract on 1 January 2017 for 5 years, annual rental payments are P100,000 (exclusive of
VAT and withholding tax) in arrears (that is, 31 December each year) and at the end of the lease term, the
machine will be returned back to the lessor. The economic life of a machine is 10 years.
Use the discount rate of 3% (assumed as incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application of PFRS 16
and not based on commencement date of the lease.)

ACCT 1063 (Intermediate Accounting 3)
2nd Semester Academic Year 2020-2021
Learning Outcomes: At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. Understand Lessor accounting in comparison with Lessee accounting
2. Define Operating Lease and Finance Lease from the Lessor’s point of view
3. To identify the criteria in determining a finance lease and prepare journal entries from
the Lessor’s point of view
4. To distinguish between a direct financing lease from a sales type lease
LEARNING CONTENT:
Intermediate Accounting 3 | 13
PFRS 16, par. 61 provides that a lessor shall classify leases as either
Operating Lease >>>does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership
Finance Lease >>>>transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership
1. The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee at the end of the term;
2. Option to purchase at a price lower than fair value at the date the option becomes exercisable;
3. Term of lease is for the major part of economic life;
4. Present value of lease payments amounts to substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset at
the commencement of the lease contract.
Major part >>>is defined at least 75% of the economic life of the asset.
Substantially All >>> means 90% of the fair value of the asset
There are other indicators of a finance lease that are not conclusive. If it is clear that the lease does not transfer
substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership, the lease is classified as Operating Lease.
Direct Financing Lease >>>is agreement between a businessman engaged in financing and a lessee.
The income of the lessor is in the form of Interest Income.
Sales Type Lease >>>>>>> recognizes Interest Income and Gross profit on Sale in comparison to
Direct Financing lease. The lessor is either a manufacturer or
dealer of assets who uses lease in marketing his products.
1. Gross Investment – total gross rentals for the term of lease plus absolute amount of residual value
guaranteed or unguaranteed. Note that residual value is ignored if title
passes to the lessee at the end of the lease term. If the asset will revert to the
lessor, the residual value will be included in the computation of total income.
2. Net Investment in the lease – cost of the asset plus any initial direct cost paid by lessor.
Intermediate Accounting 3 | 14
4. Initial Direct Cost – in a financing lease, the initial direct cost is added to the cost of the asset to get the
net investment of the lessor.
On January 01, 2020, Camia Mchineries, Inc. leased a construction equipment to Company Cee with the
following information:
3,760,10
Cost of Equipment 0
Residual value guarantee 400,000
Useful life and lease term 4 years
Implicit interest rate 10%
The annual rental is payable in advance on January 01 of each year starting January 01, 2020.
** Note that the residual value is guaranteed, therefore, the equipment will revert to the lessor at the end of the
lease term
