Note: For most leases, the asset and liability will be the same at any point during the life of the
lease. If there are uneven payments (advance payment, scheduled rent increases, or
scheduled rent decreases), the rent leveling effect will be reflected in the right-of-use as-
set.

Problem 15-8
Requirement 1
The lease term should be reassessed only when there is a significant event or
change is circumstances, within the control of the lessee, that the lessee’s
economic incentive to exercise any options to extend or terminate the lease has
changed. That is the case here. At the end of the second year, Rick’s had made
significant improvements to the asset whose cost could be recovered only if it
exercises the extension option, making it “reasonably certain” that the Rick’s will
exercise the option to extend the lease having considered the relevant economic
factors. So, the lessee would re-assess the lease term, so the revised term is now a
total of nine years with seven years remaining. Rick’s should remeasure the lease
payable as the present value of the remaining seven lease payments. The discount
rate for the new term is the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee using market
interest rates at the time of the reassessment, 6% in this instance, rather than the

……………………………………….Cash (lease payment)
……………………………………………………………….10,000
…………………………………………Right-of-use asset
In an operating lease, the lessee records interest the normal way (at the
effective interest rate) and then “plugs” the right-of-use asset amortization at the
amount that is needed for interest plus amortization to equal the straight-line lease
payment. The lessee records that amount as a single lease expense in the income
statement.

Also, lessees are required to reassess the classification of a lease when there is
a change in the lease term (or a change in the assessment of a lessee option to
purchase the underlying asset). Because, with the assumed renewal, the lease term
