Typical of this type of lease is an arrangement whereby one party sells the property to a second party, and then the first party leases the property back. Thus, the seller becomes a seller-lessee and the purchaser a purchaser-lessor.

Q

In a Sales-Leaseback transaction, how should the seller-lessee recognize profit from the original sale?

A

The FASB rule is that if the initial sale produces a profit, it should be deferred and amortized in proportion to the amortization of the leased asset if it is a capital lease or in proportion to the rental payments if it is an operating lease.

*There are exceptions to this rule if the sale-leaseback gives returns only minor rights, or of the profit is larger than the PV of the minimum lease payments.

Q

Q

With a lease, how is the capitalized amount measured?

At the lower of the PV of minimum lease payments or its FMV
