Answer 2

False

Question 3

Explain what is meant by a 'direct finance' lease,and how such leases should be accounted under AASB 117.

Answer 3

A direct finance lease is a type of lease where the lessor (the company or individual who owns the asset) transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset to the lessee (the company or individual who is leasing the asset) without transferring the legal title of the asset. In other words, the lessee is responsible for the maintenance, insurance, and other costs associated with the asset as if they were the owner.

Under AASB 117, a direct finance lease should be accounted for as a finance lease. This means that the lessee should recognize the leased asset as an asset on their balance sheet and recognize a liability for the present value of the lease payments. The lease payments should be apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge should be allocated over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Additionally, the leased asset should be depreciated over its useful life, and the interest portion of the lease payments should be recognized as an expense in the income statement. This accounting treatment reflects the economic reality of the lease, where the lessee effectively has control and use of the asset for the majority of its useful life.

Question 4

At inception of the lease,what is the cost basis of an asset acquired from a lease arrangement when the lease is classified as a finance lease? A: The net realisable value of the asset plus present value of the minimum lease payments.
B: The fair value of the leased asset.
C: The lower of fair value of the leased asset or present value of the minimum lease payments.
D: The lower of fair value of the leased asset or present value of the minimum lease payments plus any initial indirect costs.
E) The sum of the future minimum lease payments.

Question 6
