Solution
a) Leases is a contract by which one party conveys land, property, services, etc. to another for a specified time, usually in return for a periodic payment. Lease is of 2 types:
1. Operating Lease
2. Financial Lease
Financial Lease is offered to corporate customers to own and use assets such as vehicle, machinery, or other equipment (except land or houses) to expand their business for long-term financing periods without investing their own capital. You can purchase the identified asset and become its legal owner and pay monthly fees to the bank or pay at an agreed period of time.
Operating lease is a lease which is not a Financial Lease.
As per para 8 of AS 19, classification of lease into financial lease or an operating lease depends on the substance of the transaction rather than its form. Three situations which would normally lead to a lease being classified as financial lease are:
(i) the lessor transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term
(ii) the lessee has the option to purchase the asset at a price which is expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date of the option becomes exercisable such that, at the inception of the lease, it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised,
(iii) the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset even if the title is not transferred.
Since, the lease does not transfer ownership at the end of the lease term and also the aaset is not of a specialised nature and neither the lessee has the option to purchase it nor the lease term covers the major part of the economic life of the asset. The present value of lease payment is 66% ( P. V. of total minimum lease rentals is $ 44222.166 using the implicit rate i.e. 5% which 66% of the fair value i.e. $ 67000) of the fair value of the asset (less than the generally accepted threshold of 90%)
Therefore, this lease is \"OPERATING LEASE\"

d) If Irving did not guarantee any amount of the expected residual value then, answers to parts (a)-(c) will remain the same because in operating lease the accounting treatment is just that Lease payments (excluding costs for services such as insurance and maintenance) are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis unless another systematic basis is more appropriate.
