How much rent expense on these leases will be charged in 2002 and 2003? Explain. What amount would the Phelps Dodge December 31, 2001, balance sheet report as long-term lease liabilities? Explain. What amount of the 2002 capital lease payment by Phelps Dodge would represent interest expense? Explain. Answer: The rent expense in 2002 and 2003 would be identical; namely, $13.26 million per year. This is based on the premise that one operating lease has unequal payments over the remaining nine years. In such situations, the expense is based on a straightline allocation of the payments (i.e., $106.1 million/8 years). $10.5 million. The carrying value of the capital leases totals $13.7 million, but $3.2 million of that total represents a current liability at 12/31/01. $1.7 million ($4.9 million cash payment, less present value of the current liability at 12/31/01, which is $3.2 million).

They are not intended to be examples of complete student responses. It might be helpful to provide detailed instructions to students on how brief or in-depth you want their answers to be. 132. Discuss the economic advantages of leasing. Answer: The lessor may find some benefits to leasing an asset rather than selling it. One advantage is that the residual value is retained if title never passes to the lessee. When the lease term is complete, the lessor still owns the asset. The

lessor may lease it again or sell the property for an immediate gain. Another advantage to the lessor is the ongoing business relationship with the lessee. Often, the lessee will lease or buy more assets from the same dealer/lessor. Another advantage is increased sales. Leasing is a way to offer special financing to increase sales. The lessee may also find advantages in leasing. An important advantage for firms with little capital is avoiding down payment requirements. Leases frequently finance 100% of the value of an asset. This permits the lessee to use funds for other purposes. A second advantage to the lessee is reduced risk. The risks of ownership include obsolescence, physical deterioration of the asset, or casualty loss. The risks of ownership can be completely or partially avoided through leasing. Learning Objective: 2 Level of Learning: 3 133. What is a bargain purchase option and when do the parties to a lease know if it exists? Answer: A bargain purchase option gives the lessee the right to purchase leased property at a bargain price at some future date. If the specified price is sufficiently lower than the expected fair value at the date the option may be exercised, so that exercise of the option is reasonably assured, a bargain purchased option is said to exist. To determine if a bargain purchase option exists, the lessor and lessee must be able to reasonably predict what the market value of the leased asset will be on the option date. Learning Objective: 8 Level of Learning: 1 134. Differentiate between guaranteed and unguaranteed residual value of leased property. Answer: If a lease contains a guaranteed residual value, then the lessee, or some third party, guarantees that the lessor will recover a specified value at the end of the lease term. If the fair value of the asset is below this guaranteed minimum at the end of the lease term, then the lessee or the designated third party must pay the difference to the lessor. If, on the other hand, the residual is not guaranteed, then the lessor reacquires the property at the end of the lease term, and lessee has no further obligation. Learning Objective: 7 Level of Learning: 1 Spiceland/Sepe/Tomassini, Intermediate Accounting, Fourth Edition 129 Chapter 15 Leases 135. What is meant by the term "minimum lease payments"? Answer: Minimum lease payments include the periodic lease payments required over the term of the lease plus any amount to be paid for residual value through either a bargain purchase option or a guarantee of residual value. Learning Objective: 1 Level of Learning: 1 136. Discuss the interest rates used by the lessee and the lessor for determining the present value of a capital lease. Answer: Since the minimum lease payments required under a capital lease are to be made in the future, the present value of these payments must be used to account for capital leases. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds to purchase the leased assets if a purchase occurred instead of a lease. The implicit interest rate is the rate the lessor used to determine the lease payments. That is, it is the rate that will discount the lease payments and the residual value to the fair market value of the leased asset. The lessor uses the implicit interest rate to determine the present value of the minimum lease payments. The lessee uses the incremental borrowing rate or the implicit rate, whichever is lower. Learning Objective: 9 Level of Learning: 2 137. Describe the use of depreciation for an asset leased under a capital lease. Include a discussion of the depreciation period. Answer: The value of the leased asset (present value of the minimum lease payments) is amortized by the lessee using the lessee's normal depreciation method. The depreciation period depends on the criterion that qualified the lease as a capital lease. If the lease qualifies as a capital lease due to the existence of a bargain purchase option or the transfer of title, the depreciation period is the economic life of the asset. However, when the lease qualifies as a capital lease under the 75% or 90% rules, the lease term is used as the depreciation period. Learning Objective: 3 Level of Learning: 3 138. Discuss the three major types of leases that may apply to the lessor. Answer: From the lessor's point of view a lease may generally be one of three

types: operating, direct financing, or sales-type. The operating lease is accounted for as a rental. Periodic lease payments are recorded as rent revenue. Direct financing leases are capital leases where the lessor is primarily engaged in financing activities. The lessor views the lease as an investment and the revenue on such a lease is in the form of interest. The sales-type lease is typically used by a manufacturer or dealer in equipment. The lease is viewed as a marketing tool. The lessor receives income from two sources: profit on the "sale" of the leased equipment and interest on the financing portion of the contract. The distinguishing feature of the sales-type lease compared to the direct financing lease is the existence of the dealer profit or markup.

Discuss the financial statement disclosure requirements for all leases entered into by the lessee. Answer: The lessee must reveal numerous items of information concerning all leases to which the organization is a party including: (1.) The future minimum lease payments required as of the balance sheet date for the next five years. These should be separated by operating and capital leases. (2.) The gross amount of assets recorded under capital leases and the related accumulated depreciation. (3.) The amount of rent expense for each period for which an income statement is presented. (4.) The general description of each lease contract. (5.) The amount of imputed interest for capital leases. Learning Objective: 1 Level of Learning: 2 140. In its 2001 annual report to shareholders, Navistar International Corporation disclosed the following: In 2001, the company entered into three sale-leaseback arrangements with various financial institutions. Under the first arrangement, truck cab assembly machinery with a net book value of $58 million, was sold for $60 million and leased back under an 8-year operating lease agreement. Under the second arrangement, tooling and related engine manufacturing equipment with a net book value of $261 million, was sold for $260 million and leased back under an 11.5-year operating lease agreement. The third arrangement consisted of additional engine manufacturing equipment with a net book value of $62 million that was sold for $65 million and leased back under a 10-year operating lease agreement. The gain on these transactions was deferred and is being amortized over the terms of the lease agreements. Discuss the most likely reasons for these three transactions, and explain the basis for the last sentence of the disclosure. Answer: There are two likely reasons for the transactions. First, they provide cash resources to Navistar that they can leverage into profit-making operations or investments. Second, this provides Navistar the ability to refinance debt owed on the assets into lower interest lease financing. The sale of these assets generates a total profit of $4 million. Because these are sales more in form than in substance, the $4 million gain is really a reduction in the cost of holding the leased property. Therefore, it is deferred and recognized as such over the remaining lives of the newly leased assets.
