Several suppliers provide maintenance services for a similar bulldozer and a similar truck. Accordingly, there are observable standalone prices for
the maintenance services for those two items of leased equipment. Lessee is able to establish observable stand-alone prices for the maintenance
of the bulldozer and the truck of CU32,000 and CU16,000, respectively, assuming similar payment terms to those in the contract with Lessor.
The observable consideration for those four-year maintenance service contracts is a fixed amount of CU56,000, payable over four years, and a
variable amount that depends on the hours of work performed in maintaining the long-reach excavator.
Lessee is able to establish observable stand-alone prices for the leases of the bulldozer, the truck and the long-reach excavator of CU170,000,
CU102,000 and CU224,000, respectively.
Required: - Allocate the transaction price to lease and non-lease components?
Answer
Lessee concludes that there are three lease components and three non-lease components (maintenance services) in the contract. Lessee applies
the guidance IFRS 16 to allocate the consideration in the contract to the three lease components and the non-lease components.
Several suppliers provide maintenance services for a similar bulldozer and a similar truck. Accordingly, there are observable standalone prices for
the maintenance services for those two items of leased equipment. Lessee is able to establish observable stand-alone prices for the maintenance
of the bulldozer and the truck of CU32,000 and CU16,000, respectively, assuming similar payment terms to those in the contract with Lessor. The long-
reach excavator is highly specialized and, accordingly, other suppliers do not lease or provide maintenance services for similar excavators.
Nonetheless, Lessor provides four-year maintenance service contracts to customers that purchase similar long-reach excavators from Lessor. The
observable consideration for those four-year maintenance service contracts is a fixed amount of CU56,000, payable over four years, and a variable
amount that depends on the hours of work performed in maintaining the long-reach excavator. That variable payment is capped at 2 per cent of
the replacement cost of the long-reach excavator. Consequently, Lessee estimates the stand-alone price of the maintenance services for the long-
reach excavator to be CU56,000 plus any variable amounts. Lessee is able to establish observable stand-alone prices for the leases of the bulldozer,
the truck and the long-reach excavator of CU170,000, CU102,000 and CU224,000, respectively.
Lessee allocates the fixed consideration in the contract (CU600,000) to the lease and non-lease components as follows:
and CU5,000 relates to a commission paid to the real estate agent that arranged the lease. As an incentive to Lessee for entering into the
lease, Lessor agrees to reimburse to Lessee the real estate commission of CU5,000 and Lessee’s leasehold improvements of CU7,000.
At the commencement date, Lessee concludes that it is not reasonably certain to exercise the option to extend the lease and, therefore,
determines that the lease term is 10 years.
The interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is 5 per cent per annum, which reflects
the fixed rate at which Lessee could borrow an amount similar to the value of the right-of-use asset, in the same currency, for a 10-year term,
and with similar collateral.
In the sixth year of the lease, Lessee acquires Entity A. Entity A has been leasing a floor in another building. The lease entered into by Entity A
contains a termination option that is exercisable by Entity A. Following the acquisition of Entity A, Lessee needs two floors in a building suitable
for the increased workforce. To minimize costs, Lessee (a) enters into a separate eight-year lease of another floor in the building leased that
will be available for use at the end of Year 7 and (b) terminates early the lease entered into by Entity A with effect from the beginning of Year
8.
Consequently, at the end of Year 6, Lessee concludes that it is now reasonably certain to exercise the option to extend its original lease as a
result of its acquisition and planned relocation of Entity A.
Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the end of Year 6 is 6 per cent per annum, which reflects the fixed rate at which Lessee could borrow
an amount similar to the value of the right-of-use asset, in the same currency, for a nine-year term, and with similar collateral. Lessee expects
to consume the right-of-use asset’s future economic benefits evenly over the lease term and, thus, depreciates the right-of-use asset on a
straight-line basis.
Required: -
a) Measure the value at which lease will be initially recognized in the books of lessee and pass necessary journal entries?
b) Provide accounting for the change in lease term and pass necessary journal entries?
c) Prepare lease repayment schedule for first six years and for seven and eighth year?
Answer
At the commencement date, Lessee makes the lease payment for the first year, incurs initial direct costs, receives lease incentives from Lessor
and measures the lease liability at the present value of the remaining nine payments of CU50,000, discounted at the interest rate of 5 per cent
per annum, which is CU355,391.
Lessee initially recognizes assets and liabilities in relation to the lease as follows.
Rs. Rs.
Right to use asset 405,391
Lease liability 355,391
Cash 50,000
Right to use asset 20,000
Cash (initial direct cost) 20,000
Cash (lease incentive) 5,000
Right to use asset 5,000
Lessee accounts for the reimbursement of leasehold improvements from Lessor applying other relevant Standards and not as a lease
incentive applying IFRS 16. This is because costs incurred on leasehold improvements by Lessee are not included within the cost of the right-of-
use asset.
The right-of-use asset and the lease liability from Year 1 to Year 6 are as follows.

6 227,297 50,000 8,865 186,162 210,196 42,039 168,156
At the end of the sixth year, before accounting for the change in the lease term, the lease liability is CU186,162 (the present value of four
remaining payments of CU50,000, discounted at the original interest rate of 5 per cent per annum). Interest expense of CU8,865 is recognized
in Year 6. Lessee’s right-of-use asset is CU168,157.
Lessee re-measures the lease liability at the present value of four payments of CU50,000 followed by five payments of CU55,000, all discounted
at the revised discount rate of 6 per cent per annum, which is CU378,174. Lessee increases the lease liability by CU192,012, which represents
the difference between the re-measured liability of CU378,174 and its previous carrying amount of CU186,162. The corresponding adjustment
is made to the right-of-use asset to reflect the cost of the additional right of use, recognized as follows.
Rs. Rs.
Right to use asset 192,012
Lease liability 192,012
Following the re-measurement, the carrying amount of Lessee’s right-of-use asset is CU360,169 (i.e. CU168,157 + CU192,012). From the
beginning of Year 7 Lessee calculates the interest expense on the lease liability at the revised discount rate of 6 per cent per annum.
The right-of-use asset and the lease liability from Year 7 to Year 15 are as follows.
Lessee enters into a 10-year lease of property with annual lease payments of CU50,000, payable at the beginning of each year. The
contract specifies that lease payments will increase every two years on the basis of the increase in the Consumer Price Index for the
preceding 24 months. The Consumer Price Index at the commencement date is 125. This example ignores any initial direct costs. The
rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is 5 per cent per annum, which reflects the fixed
rate at which Lessee could borrow an amount similar to the value of the right-of-use asset, in the same currency, for a 10-year term, and
with similar collateral.
Lessee expects to consume the right-of-use asset’s future economic benefits evenly over the lease term and, thus, depreciates the right-
of-use asset on a straight-line basis.
At the beginning of the third year of the lease the Consumer Price Index is 135.
Required: - Prepare the journal entries of all the three years and prepare lease repayment schedule?
Answer
At the commencement date, Lessee makes the lease payment for the first year and measures the lease liability at the present value of
the remaining nine payments of CU50,000, discounted at the interest rate of 5 per cent per annum, which is CU355,391.
Lessee initially recognizes assets and liabilities in relation to the lease as follows.
Rs. Rs.
Right to use asset 405,391
Lease liability 355,391
Cash 50,000
During the first two years of the lease, Lessee recognizes in aggregate the following related to the lease.
Interest expense 33,928
Lease liability 33,928
At the beginning of the second year, Lessee makes the lease payment for the second year and recognizes the following.
Lease liability 50,000
Cash 50,000
At the beginning of the third year, before accounting for the change in future lease payments resulting from a change in the Consumer
Price Index and making the lease payment for the third year, the lease liability is CU339,319 (the present value of eight payments of
CU50,000 discounted at the interest rate of 5 per cent per annum = CU355,391 + CU33,928 -CU50,000).
The payment for the third year, adjusted for the Consumer Price Index, is CU54,000 (CU50,000 × 135 ÷ 125). Because there is a change in
the future lease payments resulting from a change in the Consumer Price Index used to determine those payments, Lessee re-measures
the lease liability to reflect those revised lease payments, i.e. the lease liability now reflects eight annual lease payments of CU54,000.
At the beginning of the third year, Lessee re-measures the lease liability at the present value of eight payments of CU54,000 discounted at
an unchanged discount rate of 5 per cent per annum, which is CU366,464. Lessee increases the lease liability by CU27,145, which
represents the difference between the re-measured liability of CU366,464 and its previous carrying amount of CU339,319. The
corresponding adjustment is made to the right-of-use asset, recognized as follows.

Lessee prepares financial statements on an annual basis. During the first year of the lease, Lessee generates sales of CU800,000 from the leased property. Lessee
incurs an additional expense related to the lease of CU8,000 (CU800,000 × 1 per cent), which Lessee recognizes in profit or loss in the first year of the lease.
amend the original lease for the remaining five years to include an additional 3,000 square metres of office space in the same
building. The additional space is made available for use by Lessee at the end of the second quarter of Year 6. The increase in total
consideration for the lease is
commensurate with the current market rate for the new 3,000 square metres of office space, adjusted for the discount that Lessee
receives reflecting that Lessor does not incur costs that it would otherwise have incurred if leasing the same space to a new tenant (for
example, marketing costs).
Required: - Discuss the accounting treatment of modification of lease?
Answer
Lessee accounts for the modification as a separate lease, separate from the original 10-year lease. This is because the modification
grants Lessee an additional right to use an underlying asset, and the increase in consideration for the lease is commensurate with the
stand-alone price of the additional right-of-use adjusted to reflect the circumstances of the contract. In his example, the additional
underlying asset is the new 3,000 square metres of office space. Accordingly, at the commencement date of the new lease (at the
end of the second quarter of Year 6), Lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability relating to the lease of the additional
3,000 square metres of office space. Lessee does not make any adjustments to the accounting for the original lease of 2,000 square
metres of office space as a result of this modification.
Lessee enters into a 10-year lease for 5,000 square metres of office space. The annual lease payments are CU100,000 payable at the
Example -6
end of each year. The interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the
commencement date is 6 per cent per annum. At the beginning of Year 7, Lessee and Lessor agree to amend the original lease by
extending the contractual lease term by four years. The annual lease payments are unchanged (ie CU100,000 payable at the end of
each year from Year 7 to Year 14). Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the beginning of Year 7 is 7 per cent per annum.
At the effective date of the modification (at the beginning of Year 7), Lessee re-measures the lease liability based on: (a) an eight-
year remaining lease term, (b) annual payments of CU100,000 and (c) Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of 7 per cent per annum.
The modified lease liability equals CU597,130. The lease liability immediately before the modification (including the recognition of the
interest expense until the end of Year 6) is CU346,511. Lessee recognizes the difference between the carrying amount of the modified
lease liability and the carrying amount of the lease liability immediately before the modification (CU250,619) as an adjustment to the
right-of-use asset.
Lessee enters into a 10-year lease for 5,000 square metres of office space. The annual lease payments are CU50,000 payable at the
end of each year. The interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the
Example -7
commencement date is 6 per cent per annum. At the beginning of Year 6, Lessee and Lessor agree to amend the original lease to
reduce the space to only 2,500 square metres of the original space starting from the end of the first quarter of Year 6. The annual fixed
lease payments (from Year 6 to Year 10) are CU30,000. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the beginning of Year 6 is 5 per cent
per annum.
Required: - Discuss the accounting treatment of modification of lease?
Answer
At the effective date of the modification (at the beginning of Year 6), Lessee re-measures the lease liability based on: (a) a five-year
remaining lease term, (b) annual payments of CU30,000 and (c) Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of 5 per cent per annum. This
equals CU129,884. Lessee determines the proportionate decrease in the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset on the basis of the
remaining right-of-use asset (ie 2,500 square metres corresponding to 50 per cent of the original right-of-use asset).
50 per cent of the pre-modification right-of-use asset (CU184,002) is CU92,001. Fifty per cent of the pre-modification lease liability
(CU210,618) is CU105,309. Consequently, Lessee reduces the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset by CU92,001 and the carrying
amount of the lease liability by CU105,309. Lessee recognizes the difference between the decrease in the lease liability and the
decrease in the right-of-use asset (CU105,309 - CU92,001 = CU13,308) as a gain in profit or loss at the effective date of the modification
(at the beginning of Year 6).
Lessee recognizes the difference between the remaining lease liability of CU105,309 and the modified lease liability of CU129,884
(which equals CU24,575) as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset reflecting the change in the consideration paid for the lease and
the revised discount rate.
Lessee enters into a 10-year lease for 2,000 square metres of office space. The annual lease payments are CU100,000 payable at the end of
each year. The interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the commencement
Example -8
date is 6 per cent per annum. At the beginning of Year 6, Lessee and Lessor agree to amend the original lease to (a) include an additional
1,500 square metres of space in the same building starting from the beginning of Year 6 and (b) reduce the lease term from 10 years to eight
years. The annual fixed payment for the 3,500 square metres is CU150,000 payable at the end of each year (from Year 6 to Year 8). Lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate at the beginning of Year 6 is 7 per cent per annum.
At the effective date of the modificaion (at the beginning of Year 6), Lessee re-measures the lease liability on the basis of: (a) a three-year
remaining lease term, (b) annual payments of CU150,000 and (c) Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of 7 per cent per annum. The modified
liability equals CU393,647, of which (a) CU131,216 relates to the increase of CU50,000 in the annual lease payments from Year 6 to Year 8 and
(b) CU262,431 relates to the remaining three annual lease payments of CU100,000 from Year 6 to Year 8.
Decrease in the lease term
At the effective date of the modification (at the beginning of Year 6), the pre-modification right-of-use asset is CU368,004. Lessee determines
the proportionate decrease in the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset based on the remaining right-of-use asset for the original 2,000
square metres of office space (ie a remaining three-year lease term rather than the original five-year lease term). The remaining right-of-use
asset for the original 2,000 square metres of office space is CU220,802 (ie CU368,004 ÷ 5 × 3 years).
At the effective date of the modification (at the beginning of Year 6), the pre-modification lease liability is CU421,236. The remaining lease
liability for the original 2,000 square metres of office space is U267,301 (ie present value of three annual lease payments of CU100,000,
discounted at the original discount rate of 6 per cent per annum).
Consequently, Lessee reduces the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset by CU147,202 (CU368,004 - CU220,802), and the carrying amount of
the lease liability by CU153,935 (CU421,236 - CU267,301). Lessee recognises the difference between the decrease in the lease liability and the
decrease in the right-of-use asset (CU153,935 - CU147,202 = CU6,733) as a gain in profit or loss at the effective date of the modification (at the
beginning of Year 6).

At the effective date of the modification (at the beginning of Year 6), Lessee recognizes the effect of the re-measurement of the remaining
lease liability reflecting the revised discount rate of 7 per cent per annum, which is CU4,870 (CU267,301 - CU262,431), as an adjustment to the
right-of-use asset.

An entity (Seller-lessee) sells a building to another entity (Buyer-lessor) for cash of CU2,000,000. Immediately before the transaction, the
building is carried at a cost of CU1,000,000. At the same time, Seller-lessee enters into a contract with Buyer-lessor for the right to use the
building for 18 years, with annual payments of CU120,000 payable at the end of each year. The terms and conditions of the transaction are
such that the transfer of the building by Seller-lessee satisfies the requirements for determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Accordingly, Seller-lessee and Buyer-lessor account for the transaction as a sale and
leaseback. This example ignores any initial direct costs.
The fair value of the building at the date of sale is CU1,800,000. Because the consideration for the sale of the building is not at fair value, Seller-
lessee and Buyer-lessor make adjustments to measure the sale proceeds at fair value. The amount of the excess sale price of CU200,000
(CU2,000,000 - CU1,800,000) is recognized as additional financing provided by Buyer-lessor to Seller-lessee.
The interest rate implicit in the lease is 4.5 per cent per annum, which is readily determinable by Seller-lessee. The present value of the annual
payments (18 payments of CU120,000, discounted at 4.5 per cent per annum) amounts to CU1,459,200, of which CU200,000 relates to the
additional financing and CU1,259,200 relates to the lease—corresponding to 18 annual payments of CU16,447 and CU103,553, respectively.
Required: - Discuss the accounting treatment from seller lessee and buyer lessor point view and pass necessary journal entries for the first year?
Answer
Seller-lessee
At the commencement date, Seller-lessee measures the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback of the building at the proportion of the
previous carrying amount of the building that relates to the right of use retained by Seller-lessee, which is CU699,555. This is calculated as:
CU1,000,000 (the carrying amount of the building) ÷ CU1,800,000 (the fair value of the building) × CU1,259,200 (the discounted lease payments
for the 18-year right-of-use asset).
Seller-lessee recognizes only the amount of the gain that relates to the rights transferred to Buyer-lessor of CU240,355 calculated as follows.
The gain on sale of building amounts to CU800,000 (CU1,800,000 - CU1,000,000), of which:
(a) CU559,645 (CU800,000 ÷ CU1,800,000 × CU1,259,200) relates to the right to use the building retained by Seller-lessee; and
(b) CU240,355 (CU800,000 ÷ CU1,800,000 × (CU1,800,000 - CU1,259,200)) relates to the rights transferred to Buyer-lessor.
At the commencement date, Seller-lessee accounts for the transaction as follows.

After the commencement date, Buyer-lessor accounts for the lease by treating CU103,553 of the annual payments of CU120,000 as lease
payments. The remaining CU16,447 of annual payments received from Seller-lessee are accounted for as (a) payments received to settle the
financial asset of CU200,000 and (b) interest revenue.
