IFRS 16 vs ASC 842 [Video]

ASC 842 is the section of the U.S. accounting rules codification that governs accounting for leases. ASC 842 was issued in February of 201640 and has many similarities to IFRS 16. For example, both ASC 842 and IFRS 16 require lessees to capitalize leases with a lease term of more than one year. However, there are several key differences between ASC 842 and IFRS 16. These differences mainly pertain to the lessee’s perspective. The most significant difference is that ASC 842 requires lessees to conduct a classification test to determine whether a lease will be treated as a finance lease or an operating lease. If the lease is classified as an operating lease, the lessee recognizes both interest expense on the lease liability and amortization expense on the right-of-use asset. However, the lessee amortizes the right-of-use asset in such a way that total lease expense is the same for each period. In short, the lessee first calculates interest expense and then calculates amortization expense as the plug that will make total lease expense the same amount each period. Thus, lessees report a single amount for lease expense that is the same from period to period. Another important difference is that ASC 842 doesn’t has an exception for leases of low-value assets. Recall that IFRS 16 requires lessees to capitalize all leases, except (a) short-term leases of 12 months or less and (b) leases of assets that have a value of $5,000 or less. With ASC 842, the exception is only available for short-term leases of 12 months or less. For lessors, ASC 842 relies on quantitative criteria to determine whether a lease should be classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. IFRS 16 says this determination should be based on the substance of the transaction.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.

5 Step DuPont Analysis for ROE | Financial Statement Analysis [Video]

The 3-step DuPont analysis is helpful in that it breaks ROE into 3 components. However, the 3-step DuPont doesn't fully isolate the effect of the firm's financing decisions because it measures profit margin as net income divided by sales. The 5-step DuPont analysis corrects for this by using operating margin instead of profit margin and separately measuring the interest burden and the tax burden.The 5-step DuPont Analysis thus disaggregates return on equity (ROE) into 5 components: ROE = [(operating margin * asset turnover) - interest burden] * equity multiplier * (1 - tax rate)— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
