Accounting for Leases Sample Assignment
Accounting for Leases – Lessee perspective
Deliveries Ltd leased a truck from a truck dealer, City Vans Ltd. City Vans Ltd acquired the truck at a cost of $180,000. The truck will be painted with Deliveries Ltd’s logo and advertising and the cost of repainting the truck to make it suitable for another owner four years later is estimated to be $40,000.

Duration of the lease: 4 years
Life of leased asset: 5 years (after which there is no salvage value)
Lease payments: $100,000 at the end of each year
Interest rate implicit in the lease: 10%
Unguaranteed residual: $50,000
Fair value of truck at inception of lease: $351,140

- Explain how and why the lease would be classified for both the lessee and the lessor
- Demonstrate that the interest rate implicit in the lease is 10%
- Prepare a schedule for the lease payments for the lessor (City Vans Ltd)
- Prepare the journal entries to account for the lease transaction in the books of the lessor at 1 July 2009 & 30 June 2010
- Prepare a schedule for the lease payments for the lessee (Deliveries Ltd)
- Prepare the journal entries to account for the lease transaction in the books of the lessee at 1 July 2009 & 30 June 2010

Bargain purchase option – yes (assuming the bargain bit)

PV substantially all of FV – see part B
Therefore – Finance lease
