4.2 Transfer is a Sale

If the transfer qualifies as a sale the


seller/lessee:

Recognises the cash received;


Derecognises the asset transferred;
Recognises a right-of-use asset for the part
of the asset leased back;
Recognises a lease liability; and
Recognises the gain or loss on the portion
of the asset transferred to the buyer/lessor.

This involves pro-rating the carrying amount of


the derecognised asset and the total gain or
loss (see Example 7).

Example 7 Sale and Leaseback

Haugh Co entered into a sale and


leaseback arrangement on 1 January 20X7
to sell an asset to CC Finance Company
(CCFC) for $750,000 being the fair value of
the asset. The asset had a carrying amount
of $640,000 at that date and the agreed
lease term was five years.

The terms of the leaseback require Haugh


Co to pay $120,000 per annum in advance
for five years. Haugh Co’s incremental
borrowing rate is 5%, giving an initial lease
liability before any payments are made to
CCFC of $546,000.

The previous carrying amount of the asset


is allocated between the transferred amount
and the right-of-use asset retained based
on the rights retained as a proportion of fair
value:

Carrying amount:

right-
of-use asset

asset transferred

The total gain of $110,000 ($750,000 −


$640,000) is also apportioned on the same
basis:

gain
relating to retained right-of-use
(therefore not recognised)
$110,000 − $80,080 = $29,920 gain
relating to asset transferred (and
therefore recognised by Haugh Co)

The transaction is recorded as follows:

Dr Cash $750,000
Dr Right-of-use
asset $465,920
Cr Lease
liability $546,000
Cr Gain $29,920
Cr Property,
plant and
equipment $640,000
