Introduction
The lessor in a sales type lease is actually a manufacturer or dealer that uses the lease as a means
of facilitating the sale of product
The accounting for a sales type lease exhibits many similarities to that for a direct financing
lease.
However, a sales type lease involves the recognition of a manufacturer or dealer profit on the
transfer of the asset to the lessee in addition to the recognition of interest income.
Accounting considerations
Gross investment - This is equal to the gross rentals for the entire lease term plus the absolute
amount of the residual value, whether guaranteed or unguaranteed.
Recall that this is the same gross investment in a direct financing lease.
Net investment in the lease – This is equal to the present value of the gross rentals plus the
present value of the residual value, whether guaranteed or unguaranteed.
Unearned interest income - This is the difference between the gross investment and net
investment in the lease.
Sales – The amount is equal to the net investment in the lease (present value of lease payments)
or fair value of the asset, whichever is lower.
Cost of goods sold – This is equal to the cost of the asset sold minus the present value of
unguaranteed residual value plus the initial direct cost paid by the lessor.
Gross profit - This is the usual formula of sales minus cost of goods sold.
Initial direct cost - This amount is expensed immediately in a sales type lease as component of
cost of goods sold.
Illustration
Lessor Company is a dealer in machinery.
On January 1, 2020, a machinery was leased to Lessee Company with the following provisions:
Annual rental payable at the end of each year 400,000
Lease term 5 years
Useful life of machinery 5 years
Cost of machinery 1,000,000
Implicit interest rate 12%
Present value of annuity of 1 for 5 years at 12% 3.60
Computation
Gross rentals (400,000 x 5) 2,000,000
Present value of rentals (400,000 x 3.60) 1,440,000
Unearned interest income 560,000
Present value of rentals – sales 1,440,000
Cost of machinery - cost of goods sold 1,000,000
Gross profit on sale 440,000
A manufacturer or dealer lessor shall recognize selling profit or loss in income for the period in
accordance with the policy followed by the entity for outright sale.
Journal entries
On the books of Lessor Company, the sales type lease is recorded as follows:
1. To record the sale:
Lease receivable 2,000,000
Sales 1,440,000
Unearned interest income 560,000
The gross profit of P440,000 is not separately recorded because it is included already in the sales
revenue.
2. To record the cost of goods sold, assuming the perpetual system is used:
Cost of goods sold 1,000,000
Inventory 1,000,000
Observe that the lease receivable and unearned interest income are the same whether the scenario
is guaranteed or unguaranteed residual value.
However, there is a difference in the computation of the sales and cost of goods sold.
Under the residual value guarantee scenario, the present value of the residual value is included in
the sales revenue because the lessor knows that the entire asset has been sold.
However, under the unguaranteed residual value scenario, the present value of the unguaranteed
residual value is not included in the sales revenue.
Accordingly, the present value of the unguaranteed residual value is deducted from the cost of
the underlying asset in computing cost of goods sold.
The reason is that this portion of the leased asset is in effect "not sold" in the sense that the lessor
will be receiving back at the end of the lease term the underlying asset with unguaranteed
residual value of P200,000 and present value of P124, 180
Moreover, the unguaranteed residual value is not considered lease payment as far as the lessee is
concerned.
Computation
Cost of machinery 2,000,000
PV of unguaranteed residual value (124,180)
Cost of goods sold 1,875,820
Table of amortization
The table of amortization of the net lease receivable may follows:
Date Payment Interest Principal Present value
1/1/2020 3,156,820
12/31/2020 800,000 315,682 484,318 2,672,502
12/31/2021 800,000 267,250 532,750 2,139,752
12/31/2022 800,000 213,975 586,025 1,553,727
12/31/2023 800,000 155,373 644,627 909,100
12/31/2024 800,000 90,900 709,100 200,000
Whether guaranteed or unguaranteed, the entries for the collection of the annual rental and the
interest income are the same.
Journal entries - December 31, 2020
1. Cash 800,000
Lease receivable 800,000
Under the unguaranteed scenario, the lessor shall recognize a loss for the difference.
Logs on finance lease 50,000
Inventory 150,000
Lease receivable 200,000
It is to be pointed out that in the illustration the sales type lease provides that the underlying asset
will revert to the lessor upon termination of the contract.
However, if the underlying asset will not revert to the lessor, the residual value is completely
ignored by the lessor in the computation of unearned interest income and gross profit on the sale.
The underlying asset will remain with the lessee if the lease provides for either a purchase option
that is reasonably certain to be exercised or transfer of title to the lessee upon the lease
expiration.
It is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the purchase option on December 31, 2023.
Computation
Gross rentals (500,000 x 4) 2,000,000
Purchase option 200,000
Gross investment - lease receivable 2,200,000
Table of amortization
The table of amortization of the net lease receivable may appear as follows:
Date Payment Interest Principal Present
value
Jan. 1, 2020 1,803,000
Dec. 31, 2020 500,000 144, 240 355,760 1,447,240
Dec. 31, 2021 500,000 115,779 384,221 1,063,019
Dec. 31, 2022 500,000 85,042 414,958 648,061
Dec. 31, 2023 500,000 51,939 448,061 200,000
Payment represents the annual rental.
Interest is equal to the preceding present value times the interest rate.
Thus, for 2020, P1,803,000 times 8% equals P144,240, and so on.
Principal is the portion of the annual rental payment after deducting interest.
Thus, for 2020, P500,000 minus P144,240 equals P355, 760 and so on.
Present value is the balance of the present value after deducting the principal payment.
Thus, on December 31, 2020, P1,803,000 minus P355,760 equals P1,447,240 and so on.
