Accounting For Leases and Specialized Assets

This document summarizes key accounting standards related to leases, agriculture, and mineral exploration. IFRS 16 outlines accounting for lessee and lessor leases. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability initially at present value of payments. The liability is reduced by payments over time. IAS 41 addresses accounting for biological assets measured at fair value and agricultural produce at fair value less costs to sell. IFRS 6 provides guidance for exploration costs, requiring an accounting policy choice to expense or capitalize and outlines impairment testing and disclosure requirements.

Finance lease:

• Transfer of ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term

• The lessee has the option to purchase the asset at end of the lease term and pricing means this is

reasonably certain to be exercised

• The lease term is for the major part of the asset's useful life

• At the start of the lease the present value of minimum lease payments is substantially all of the fair value

of the asset

• The asset is so specialised that only the lessee can use it without major modification
Example

Roost Co leases plant and machinery to manufacturing companies. It has a year-end of 30 September. On 1

June 20X8 it leased a machine to a customer for a 6 year period. The agreed lease payments were $400 per

calendar month payable in arrears. In addition, the customer was required to pay an initial non-refundable

amount of $1,200.
