Dear tutor, In example 3 in Leases chapter we have the following information. Example 3 – Sale and leaseback (1) Apple required funds to finance a new ambitious rebranding exercise. It’s only possible way of raising finance is through the sale and leaseback of its head office building for a period of 10 years. The lease payments of $1 million are to be made at the end of the lease period The current fair value of the building is $10 million and the carrying value is $8.4 million. The interest rate implicit in the lease is 5%. Advise Apple on how to account for the sale and leaseback in its financial statements if the office building were to be sold at the fair value of $10 million and: (a) Performance obligations are not satisfied; or, (b) Performance obligations are satisfied. Answer to example 3 – Sale and leaseback (1) (i) Transfer of asset is not a sale Seller Lessor • Continue to recognise the asset @ $8.4 million and depreciate. • Do not recognise the asset as it has not been sold to the buyer. • Recognise a financial liability @ transfer proceeds of $10 million. • Recognise a financial asset @ transfer proceeds of $10 million. (ii) Transfer of asset is sale Seller Lessor • Derecognise the asset @ $8.4 million1 • Recognise purchase of the asset @ $10 million (fair value = proceeds) • Recognise lease liability @ PV of lease rentals2 • Apply lessor accounting • Recognise a right-of-use asset, as a proportion of the previous carrying value of underlying asset 3 • Gain/loss on rights transferred 4 DR Bank $10,000,000 DR Right of use asset3 (W2) $6,486,257 CR Lease liability2 (W1) $7,721,735 CR PPE – Building1 $8,400,000 CR Gain on transfer4 $364,522 (W1) Lease liability = PV of lease rentals at rate implicit in the lease = $1 million x AF1-10@5% Lease a = $1 million x 7.722 = $7,721,735 (W2) $ $ Right-of-use retained 7,721,735 77.22% 6,486,257 Rights transferred 2,278,265 22.78% 1,913,743 Total 10,000,000 100.0% 8,400,000 How did we calculated the annuity factor? Is it brought forward knowledge from another course? Thank you.

Hi, Yes, the calculation is knowledge from another paper. You will be given the annuity factor or discount factor in the exam, so do not worry too much about how to calculate it. Thanks
