Lease Accounting for Lessees | Overview | IFRS 16 [Video]

Lease Accounting for Lessees | Overview | IFRS 16

IFRS 16 requires lessees to capitalize all leases (with exceptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets). Capitalizing a lease means the lessee will:

(1) Recognize a right-of-use asset upon commencement of the lease
(2) Recognize a lease liability upon commencement of the lease
(3) Record depreciation expense throughout the lease
(4) Record interest expense throughout the lease

The depreciation expense pertains to the right-of-use asset, while the interest expense pertains to the lease liability. This will result in a front-loading of expenses during the lease, since interest expense will be higher in the early periods of the lease (since the lease liability will be higher in the early periods, and interest expense is calculated using the lease liability).

Note that the lessee’s interest expense could be different from the lessor’s interest revenue if the lessee’s lease liability differs from the lessor’s lease receivable.

How to Account for Early Retirement of Bonds [Video]

This video explains how to account for the early retirement of bonds (aka early extinguishment of debt or early redemption of bonds).When a company retires (redeems) its bonds prior to the maturity date, the company must do several things:-Reduce the cash account by the amount used to repurchase the bonds (if cash is used to retire the bonds)-Remove the bonds payable-Zero out the unamortized discount or unamortized premium-Record a gain or loss IF the repurchase price is different from the carrying value (aka book value) of the bonds on the date the bonds are retiredThere are two ways to calculate the gain or loss on the early retirement of the bonds:(1) record the journal entry; if a debit is required to make the journal entry balance, then debit a loss on early retirement (or loss on bond redemption, loss on early extinguishment of debt, etc.). If a credit is instead required to make the journal entry balance, the credit a gain on early retirement (or gain on bond redemption, gain on early extinguishment of debt, etc.)(2) calculate the difference between the repurchase price (the amount paid to retire the bonds) and carrying value (aka book value) of the bonds at the time they are retired. If the repurchase price is less than the carrying value, there is a gain. If the repurchase price is greater than the carrying value, there is a loss.0:00 Introduction0:39 4 things to do when retiring bonds1:20 Example3:59 T-account for discount on bonds payable4:18 Journal entry to record gain on retirement of bonds5:53 Alternative situation (loss on retirement of bonds)— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
