Question 1
Scenario A:
A lessee enters into a lease with a nine-month non-cancellable term with an option to extend the
lease for four months. The lease does not have a purchase option. At the lease commencement
date, the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the extension option because the monthly lease
payments during the extension period are significantly below market rates. Whether the lessee
can take a short-term exemption in accordance with Ind AS-116?
Scenario B:
Assume the same facts as Scenario A except, at the lease commencement date, the lessee is
not reasonably certain to exercise the extension option because the monthly lease payments
during the optional extension period are at what the lessee expects to be market rates and there
are no other factors that would make exercise of the renewal option reasonably certain. Will your
answer be different in this case?
(Study Material)
Answer
Scenario A:
As the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the extension option (Refer section 3.2 lease
term),the lease term is greater than 12 months (i.e., 13 months). Therefore, the lessee will not
account for the lease as a short-term lease.
Scenario B:
In this case, the lease term is less than 12 months, i.e., nine months. Thus, the lessee may
account for the said lease under the short-term lease exemption, i.e., it recognises lease
payments as an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic
basis.
Question 2
Customer XYZ enters into a ten-year contract with Supplier ABC for the use of rolling stock
specifically designed for Customer XYZ.
The rolling stock is designed to transport materials used in Customer XYZ’s production process
and is not suitable for use by other customers. The rolling stock is not explicitly specified in the
contract but, Supplier ABC owns only one rolling stock that is suitable for Customer XYZ’s use. If
the rolling stock does not operate properly, the contract requires Supplier ABC to repair or
replace the rolling stock.
Whether there is an identified asset?

Question 3
Customer XYZ enters into a ten-year contract with Supplier ABC for the use of a car. The
specification of the car is specified in the contract (i.e., brand, type, colour, options, etc.). At
inception of the contract, the car is not yet built.
Whether there is an identified asset?
(Study Material)
Answer
Yes, the said car is an identified asset.
Though the car cannot be identified at inception of the contract, it is implicitly specified at the
time the same will be made available to Customer XYZ.
Question 4
Scenario A:
An electronic data storage provider (supplier) provides services through a centralised data centre
that involve the use of a specified server (Server No. 10). The supplier maintains many identical
servers in a single accessible location and determines, at inception of the contract, that it is
permitted to and can easily substitute another server without the customer’s consent throughout
the period of use.
Further, the supplier would benefit economically from substituting an alternative asset, because
doing this would allow the supplier to optimise the performance of its network at only a nominal
cost. In addition, the supplier has made clear that it has negotiated this right of substitution as an
important right in the arrangement, and the substitution right affected the pricing of the
arrangement.
Whether the substitution rights are substantive and whether there is an identified asset?
Scenario B:
Assume the same facts as in Scenario A except that Server No. 10 is customised, and the
supplier does not have the practical ability to substitute the customised asset throughout the
period of use. Additionally, it is unclear whether the supplier would benefit economically from
sourcing a similar alternative asset.
Whether the substitution rights are substantive and whether there is an identified asset?
(Study Material)
Answer
Scenario A:
The customer does not have the right to use an identified asset because, at the inception of the
contract, the supplier has the practical ability to substitute the server and would benefit
economically from such a substitution. Thus, there is no identified asset.
However, if the customer could not readily determine whether the supplier had a substantive

Question 5
Customer XYZ enters into a 15-year contract with Supplier ABC for the right to use five fibres
within a fibre optic cable between Mumbai and Pune. The contract identifies five of the cable’s25
fibres for use by Customer XYZ. The five fibres are dedicated solely to Customer XYZ’s data for
the duration of the contract term. Assume that Supplier ABC does not have a substantive
substitution right.
Whether there is an identified asset?
(Study Material)
Answer
Yes, the said five fibres are identified assets because they are physically distinct and explicitly
specified in the contract.
Question 6
Scenario A:
Customer XYZ enters into a ten-year contract with Supplier ABC for the right to transport oil from
India to Bangladesh through Supplier ABC’s pipeline. The contract provides that Customer XYZ
will have the right to use of 95 % of the pipeline’s capacity throughout the term of the
arrangement.
Whether there is an identified asset?
Scenario B:
Assume the same facts as in Scenario A, except that Customer XYZ has the right to use 65% of
the pipeline’s capacity throughout the term of the arrangement.
Whether there is an identified asset?
(Study Material)
Answer
Scenario A:
Yes, the capacity portion of the pipeline is an identified asset.
While 95% of the pipeline’s capacity is not physically distinct from the remaining capacity of the
pipeline, it represents substantially all of the capacity of the entire pipeline and thereby
provides Customer XYZ with the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits
from use of the pipeline.

Question 7
ABC Ltd enters into a contract with XYZ Ltd, which grants ABC Ltd exclusive rights to use a
specific grain storage facility over a five-year period in the months of May and June. During these
months, ABC Ltd has the right to decide which crops are placed in storage and when to remove
them. XYZ Ltd provides the loading and unloading services for the warehouse activities. During
the other ten months each year, XYZ Ltd has the right to determine how the warehouse will be
used.
Which party has the right to control the use of the identified asset during the period of use?
(Study Material)
Answer
In the above case, ABC Ltd has the right to control the use of the identified asset during the
period of use because they have the power to determine how the warehouse will be used during
the contractually defined usage periods. The analysis should focus on the rights and economics
of the use of the warehouse for the specified usage periods (May and June). During the period of
use, ABC Ltd has the rights to determine how much of a crop to place in storage, and the timing
of placing and removing it from storage. These rights are more significant to the economics of the
use of the asset than the loading and unloading services performed by XYZ Ltd during the same
period. ABC Ltd receives all of the economic benefit from use of the asset during those specified
time periods. Therefore, contract contains a lease for the specified period of term.
Question 8
Company MNO enters into a 15-year contract with Power Company PQR to purchase all of the
electricity produced by a new solar farm.PQR owns the solar farm and will receive tax credits
relating to the construction and ownership of the solar farm, and MNO will receive renewable
energy credits that accrue from use of the solar farm.).
Who has the right to substantial benefits from the solar farm?
(Study Material)
Answer
Company MNO has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the
solar farm over the 15-year period because it obtains:
♦ the electricity produced by the farm over the lease term — i.e. the primary product from use
of the asset; and
♦ the renewable energy credits — i.e. the by-product from use of the asset.
Although PQR receives economic benefits from the solar farm in the form of tax credits, these
economic benefits relate to the ownership of the solar farm. The tax credits do not relate to use of
the solar farm and therefore are not considered in this assessment.

Question 10
Entity A contracts with Supplier H to manufacture parts in a facility. Entity A designed the facility
and provided its specifications. Supplier H owns the facility and the land. Entity A specifies how
many parts it needs and when it needs the parts to be available. Supplier H operates the
machinery and makes all operating decisions including how and when the parts are to be
produced, as long as it meets the contractual requirements to deliver the specified number on the
specified date. Assuming supplier H cannot substitute the facility and hence is an identified asset.
Which party has the right to control the use of the identified asset (i.e., equipment) during the
period of use?
(Study Material)
Answer
Entity A does not direct the use of the asset that most significantly drives the economic benefits
because Supplier H determines how and when the equipment is operated once the contract is
signed. Therefore, Supplier H has the right to control the use of the identified asset during the
period of use. Although Entity A stipulates the product to be provided and has input into the initial
decisions regarding the use of the asset through its involvement in the design of the asset, it does
not have decision making rights over how and for what purpose the asset will be used over the
asset during the period of use. This arrangement is a supply agreement, not a lease.

Question 12
Scenario A:
A lessee enters a lease of an excavator and the related accessories (for e.g., excavator
attachments) that are used for mining purposes. The lessee is a local mining company that
intends to use the excavator at a copper mine. How many lease and non-lease components are
there?
Scenario B:
Assume the same facts as in Scenario A, except that the contract also conveys the right to use
an additional loading truck. This loading truck could be deployed by the lessee for other uses (for
e.g., to transport iron ores at another mine).
(Study Material)
Answer
Scenario A:
The lessee would be unable to benefit from the use of the excavator without also using the
accessories. Therefore, the excavator is dependent upon the accessories. Thus, from the
perspective of the lessee, the contract contains one lease component.
Scenario B:
The lessee can benefit from the loading truck on its own or together with other readily available
resources because the loading truck could be deployed for other uses independent of the
excavator. The lessee can also benefit from the use of the excavator on its own or together with
other readily available resources.
Thus, from the perspective of the lessee, the contract contains two lease components, viz., a
lease of the excavator (together with the accessories) and a lease of the loading truck.
Page 7
Question 14
Scenario A:
A lessee enters into a five-year lease of equipment, with fixed annual payments of `10,000. The
contract contains fixed annual payments as follows: `8,000 for rent, `1,500 for maintenance and
`500 of administrative tasks. How the consideration would be allocated?
Scenario B:
Assume the fact pattern as in scenario A except that, in addition, the contract requires the lessee
to pay for the restoration of the equipment to its original condition. How the consideration would
be allocated?
(Study Material)
Answer
Scenario A:
The contract contains two components, viz., a lease component (lease of equipment) and a non-
lease component (maintenance). The amount paid for administrative tasks does not transfer a
good or service to the lessee.
Assuming that the lessee does not elect to use the practical expedient as per para 15 of Ind AS
116, both the lessee and the less or account for the lease of equipment and maintenance
components separately and the administration charge is included in the total consideration to be
allocated between those components. Therefore, the total consideration in the contract of
`50,000 will be allocated to the lease component (equipment) and the non-lease component
(maintenance).
Page 8
Question 15
A lessee enters into a lease of an equipment. The contract stipulates the less or will perform
maintenance of the leased equipment and receive consideration for that maintenance service.
The contract includes the following fixed prices for the lease and non-lease component:
Lease `80,000
Maintenance `10,000
Total `90,000
Assume the stand-alone prices cannot be readily observed, so the lessee makes estimates,
maximising the use of observable information, of the lease and non-lease components, as
follows:
Lease `85,000
Maintenance `15,000
Total `1,00,000
In the given scenario, assuming lessee has not opted the practical expedient, how will the lessee
allocate the consideration to lease and non-lease component?
(Study Material)
Answer
The stand-alone price for the lease component represents 85% (i.e., ` 85,000/` 1,00,000) of
total estimated stand-alone prices. The lessee allocates the consideration in the contract (i.e.,
` 90,000), as follows:
Lease * ` 76,500
Maintenance ** ` 13,500
Total `90,000
* `90,000 x 85%
** `90,000 x 15%
Question 16
Scenario A:
Entity ABC enters into a lease for equipment that includes a non-cancellable term of six years
and a two-year fixed-priced renewal option with future lease payments that are intended to
approximate market rates at lease inception. There are no termination penalties or other factors
indicating that Entity ABC is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option. What is the lease
term?
Page 9
Question 17
Retailer M enters into a five-year lease for a building floor, followed by two successive five-year
renewal options. On the commencement date, Retailer M is not reasonably certain to exercise the
extension option. At the end of third year, Retailer M extended to include another floor from year
4 due to a business acquisition. For this purpose, the lessee concludes a separate seven-year
lease for an additional floor in the building already leased. Is Retailer M required to reassess the
lease term in this case?
(Study Material)
Answer
Ind AS 116 requires a lessee to reassess the lease term if there is change in business decision of
the company which is directly relevant to exercising or not exercising an option to renew/extend
the lease. In the given case, the Retailer M at the end of third year has extended to include
another floor in the same building on account of acquiring another company. As Retailer M has
entered into fresh lease of another floor for a seven-year term, it is reasonably certain to exercise
the renewal option of original lease for a further five-year term. Hence Retailer M will have to
reassess the lease term at the end of third year.
Page 10
Question 19
Entity M and Lessor A enter into a 10-year lease of an office building for fixed annual lease
payments of `200,000.Per the terms of the lease agreement, annual fixed lease payments
comprise `170,000 for rent and `30,000 for real estate taxes.
What are the fixed lease payments for purposes of classifying the lease?
(Study Material)
Answer
The fixed lease payments are ` 2,00,000.Although real estate taxes are explicitly stated in the
lease contract, they do not represent a separate non-lease component as they do not provide a
separate good or service. The right to use the office building is the only component. The annual
lease payments of ` 2,00,000 represent payments related to that single lease component.
Question 20
Entity Q enters into a seven-year lease for a piece of machinery. The contract sets out the lease
payments as follows.
– If Q uses the machinery within a given month, then an amount of 2,000 accrues for that
month.
– If Q does not use the machinery within a given month, then an amount of 1,000 accrues
for that month.
What is considered as lease payment in this case?
(Study Material)
Answer
Q considers the contract and notes that although the lease payments contain variability based on
usage, and there is a realistic possibility that Q may not use the machinery in some months, a
monthly payment of 1,000 is unavoidable. Accordingly, this is an in-substance fixed payment, and
is included in the measurement of the lease liability.
Page 11
Question 22
Company N leases a production line. The lease payments depends on the number of operating
hours of the production line – i.e., N has to pay `1,000 per hour of use. The annual minimum
payment is `10,00,000. The expected usage per year is 1,500 hours
(Study Material)
Answer
The lease contains in substance fixed payments of `10,00,000 per year, which are included in the
initial measurement of the lease liability. The additional `5,00,000 that Company N expects to pay
per year are variable payments that do not depend on an index or a rate but usage.
Question 23
An entity enters in to a 10-year lease of property. The lease payment for the first year is `1,000.
The lease payments are linked to the consumer price index (CPI), i.e., not a floating interest rate.
The CPI at the beginning of the first year is 100. Lease payments are updated at the end of every
second year. At the end of year one, the CPI is 105.At the end of year two, the CPI is 108.What
should be included in lease payments?
(Study Material)
Answer
At the lease commencement date, the lease payments are ` 1,000 per year for 10 years. The
entity does not take into consideration the potential future changes in the index. At the end of
year one, the payments have not changed and hence, the liability is not updated.
At the end of year two, when the lease payments change, the entity updates the remaining eight
lease payments to ` 1,080 per year (i.e., ` 1,000/100 x 108).
Question 24
Entity XYZ is a medical equipment manufacturer and a supplier of the related consumables.
Customer ABC operates a medical centre. Under the agreement entered into by both parties,
Entity XYZ grants Customer ABC the right to use a medical laboratory machine at no cost and
Customer ABC purchases consumables for use in the equipment from Entity XYZ at `100 each.
The consumables can only be used for that equipment and Customer ABC cannot use other
Page 12
Question 25
Entity A enters into a five-year lease of an office building. The lease payments are `5,00,000 per
year and the contract includes an additional water charge calculated as `0.50 per litre consumed.
Payments are due at the end of year. Entity A elects to apply the practical expedient to combine
lease and non-lease components.
(Study Material)
Answer
As stated above, payments are due at the end of the year. Entity A elects to apply the practical
expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components.
At the commencement date, Entity A measures the lease liability as the present value of the fixed
lease payments (i.e. five annual payments of 5,00,000). Although Entity A has elected to apply
the practical expedient to combine non-lease components (i.e. water charges) with the lease
component, Entity A excludes the non-lease component from its lease liability because they are
variable payments that depend on usage. That is, the nature of the costs does not become fixed
just because Entity A has elected not to separate them from the fixed lease payments. Entity A
recognises the payments for water – as a variable lease payment – in profit or loss when they are
incurred.
In contrast, if B does not elect to apply the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease
components, then it recognises the payments for water – as an operating expense – in profit or
loss when they are incurred.
Question 26
An entity (a lessee) enters into a lease and guarantees that the lessor will realise `20,000 from
selling the asset to another party at the end of the lease. At lease commencement, based on the
lessee’s estimate of the residual value of the underlying asset, the lessee determines that it
expects that it will owe `8,000 at the end of the lease. Whether the lessee should include the said
payment of `8,000 as a lease payment?
(Study Material)
Page 13
Question 27
Entity L enters into a lease for 10 years, with a single lease payment payable at the beginning of
each year. The initial lease payment is `100,000. Lease payments will increase by the rate of
LIBOR each year. At the date of commencement of the lease, LIBOR is 2 per cent.
Assume that the interest rate implicit in the lease is 5 per cent. How lease liability is initially
measured?
(Study Material)
Answer
In the given case, the lease payments depend on a rate (i.e., LIBOR) and hence is included in
measuring lease liability, As per Ind AS 116, the lease payments should initially be measured
using the rate (i.e. LlBOR) as at the commencement date. LIBOR at that date is 2 per cent;
therefore, in measuring the lease liability, it is assumed that each year the payments will increase
by 2 per cent, as follows
Year Lease Payment Discount factor @ 5% PV of lease payments
1 1,00,000 1 100,000
2 1,02,000 0.952 97,102
3 1,04,040 0.907 94,364
4 1,06,121 0.864 91,689
5 1,08,243 0.823 89,084
6 1,10,408 0.784 86,560
7 1,12,616 0.746 84,012
8 1,14,869 0.711 81,672
9 1,17,166 0.677 79,321
10 1,19,509 0.645 77,083
8,80,887
Therefore, the lease liability is initially measured at ` 8,80,887
Question 28
Entity Y and Entity Z execute a 12-year lease of a railcar with the following terms on January
1,2016:
♦ The lease commencement date is February 1, 2016.
♦ Entity Y must pay Entity Z the first monthly rental payment of `10,000 upon execution of the
lease.
♦ Entity Z will pay Entity Y `50,000 cash incentive to enter into the lease payable upon lease
execution.

Question 29
Company H leases an aircraft for a period of 5 years. The aircraft must undergo a planned check
after every 100,000 flight hours. At the end of the lease, company H must have a check
performed (or refund the costs to the lessor), irrespective of the actual number of flight hours.
What are the lease payments for purposes of calculating ROU asset?
(Study Material)
Answer
In the given case, the legal requirement to perform a check after every 1,00,000 flight hours does
not directly lead to an obligation as it depends on future circumstances. However, as the check
must be carried out at the end of the lease irrespective of the actual number of flight hours gives
rise to an obligation.
As a result, company H has to recognize a provision for the costs of the final check (“present
value of the expected cost”) at the beginning of the lease term. At the same time, these costs
must be included in the cost of the right-of-use (ROU) asset pursuant to para 24(d) of Ind AS 116.
Question 30
Entity ABC (lessee) enters into a three-year lease of equipment. Entity ABC agrees to make the
following annual payments at the end of each year:
`20,000 in year one
`30,000 in year two
`50,000 in year three.
For simplicity purposes, there are no other elements to the lease payments (like purchase
options, lease incentives from the lessor or initial direct costs).Assumed a discount rate of 12%
(which is Entity ABC’s incremental borrowing rate because the interest rate implicit in the lease
cannot be readily determined). Entity ABC depreciates the ROU Asset on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
How would Entity ABC would account for the said lease under Ind AS 116?
(Study Material)
Page 15
Balance Sheet:
ROU Asset 77,364 51,576 25,788 -
Lease Liability (77,364) (66,648) (44,646) -
Question 31
Company EFG enters into a property lease with Entity H. The initial term of the lease is 10 years
with a 5- year renewal option. The economic life of the property is 40 years and the fair value of
the leased property is `50 Lacs. Company EFG has an option to purchase the property at the end
of the lease term for `30 lacs. The first annual payment is `5 lacs with an increase of 3% every
year thereafter. The implicit rate of interest is 9.04%. Entity H gives Company EFG an incentive of
`2 lacs (payable at the beginning of year 2), which is to be used for normal tenant improvement.
Company EFG is reasonably certain to exercise that purchase option. How would EFG measure
the right-of-use asset and lease liability over the lease term?
(Study Material)
Answer
As per Ind AS 116, Company EFG would first calculate the lease liability as the present value of
the annual lease payments, less the lease incentive paid in year 2, plus the exercise price of the
purchase option using the rate implicit in the lease of approximately 9.04%.
PV of lease payments, less lease incentive (W.N. 1) `37,39,648
PV of purchase option at end of lease term (W.N. 2) `12,60,000
Total lease liability `49,99,648 or `50,00,000 (approx.)
The right-of-use asset is equal to the lease liability because there is no adjustment required for
initial direct costs incurred by Company EFG, lease payments made at or before the lease
commencement date, or lease incentives received prior to the lease commencement date.
Page 17
Question 32
Entity W entered into a contract for lease of retail store with Entity J on January 01/01/2017. The
initial term of the lease is 5 years with a renewal option of further 3 years. The annual payments
for initial term and renewal term is `100,000 and `110,000 respectively. The annual lease
payment will increase based on the annual increase in the CPI at the end of the preceding year.
For example, the payment due on 01/01/18 will be based on the CPI available at 31/12/17.
Entity W’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease inception date and as at 01/01/2020 is 5% and
6% respectively and the CPI at lease commencement date and as at 01/01/2020 is 120 and 125
respectively.
At the lease commencement date, Entity W did not have a significant economic incentive to
exercise the renewal option. In the first quarter of 2020, Entity W installed unique lease
improvements into the retail store with an estimated five-year economic life. Entity W determined
that it would only recover the cost of the improvements if it exercises the renewal option, creating
a significant economic incentive to extend.
Is Entity W required to remeasure the lease in the first quarter of 2020?
(Study Material)
Answer
Since Entity W is now reasonably certain that it will exercise its renewal option, it is required to
remeasure the lease in the first quarter of 2020.

Question 33
Lessee enters into a 10-year lease for 2,000 square metres of office space. At the beginning of
Year 6, Lessee and Lessor agree to amend the original lease for the remaining five years to
include an additional 3,000 square metres of office space in the same building. The additional
space is made available for use by Lessee at the end of the second quarter of Year 6. The
increase in total consideration for the lease is commensurate with the current market rate for the
new 3,000 square metres of office space, adjusted for the discount that Lessee receives
reflecting that Lessor does not incur costs that it would otherwise have incurred if leasing the
same space to a new tenant (for example, marketing costs).
How should the said modification be accounted for?
(Study Material)
Answer
Lessee accounts for the modification as a separate lease, separate from the original 10-year
lease because the modification grants Lessee an additional right to use an underlying asset, and
the increase in consideration for the lease is commensurate with the stand-alone price of the
additional right-of-use adjusted to reflect the circumstances of the contract. In this example, the
additional underlying asset is the new 3,000 square metres of office space. Accordingly, at the
commencement date of the new lease (at the end of the second quarter of Year 6), Lessee
recognises a ROU Asset and a lease liability relating to the lease of the additional 3,000 square
metres of office space. Lessee does not make any adjustments to the accounting for the original
lease of 2,000 square metres of office space as a result of this modification.
Question 34
Lessee enters into a 10-year lease for 5,000 square metres of office space. The annual lease
payments are `1,00,000 payable at the end of each year. The interest rate implicit in the lease
cannot be readily determined. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date is
6% p.a.At the beginning of Year 7, Lessee and Lessor agree to amend the original lease by
extending the contractual lease term by four years. The annual lease payments are unchanged
(i.e., `1,00,000 payable at the end of each year from Year 7 to Year 14). Lessee’s incremental
borrowing rate at the beginning of Year 7 is 7% p.a.
How should the said modification be accounted for?

Page 21
Question 35
Lessee enters into a 10-year lease for 5,000 square metres of office space. The annual lease
payments are `50,000 payable at the end of each year. The interest rate implicit in the lease
cannot be readily determined. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date is
6% p.a. At the beginning of Year 6, Lessee and Lessor agree to amend the original lease to
reduce the space to only 2,500 square metres of the original space starting from the end of the
first quarter of Year 6. The annual fixed lease payments (from Year 6 to Year 10) are `30,000.
Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the beginning of Year 6 is 5% p.a.
How should the said modification be accounted for?
(Study Material)
Answer
In the given case, Lessee calculates the ROU asset and the lease liabilities before modification
as follows:
Lease Liability ROU asset

In the given case, Lessee calculates the ROU asset and the lease liabilities before modification
as follows:
Year Opening lease liability Interest @ 6% Lease payments Closing liability
(A) (B) = [A x 6%] (C) (D) = [A+B-C]
1 7,35,900 44,154 100,000 6,80,054
2 6,80,054 40,803 100,000 6,20,857
3 6,20,857 37,251 100,000 5,58,108

5 4,91,594 29,496 100,000 4,21,090
6 4,21,090
At the effective date of the modification (at the beginning of Year 6), Lessee remeasures the
lease liability based on:
(a) a five-year remaining lease term,
(b) annual payments of ` 95,000, and
(c) Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of 7% p.a.
Year Lease Payments Present value @ Present value of lease
(A) 7% (B) payments (A x B = C)
1 95,000 0.935 88,825
2 95,000 0.873 82,935
3 95,000 0.816 77,520
4 95,000 0.763 72,485
5 95,000 0.713 67,735
3,89,500
Lessee recognizes the difference between the carrying amount of the modified liability (`
3,89,500) and the lease liability immediately before the modification (` 4,21,090) of ` 31,590 as
an adjustment to the ROU Asset.

Question 37
Lessee enters into a 10-year lease for 2,000 square metres of office space. The annual lease
payments are `1,00,000 payable at the end of each year. The interest rate implicit in the lease
cannot be readily determined. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date is
6% p.a.
At the beginning of Year 6, Lessee and Lessor agree to amend the original lease to:
(a) include an additional 1,500 square metres of space in the same building starting from the
beginning of Year 6 and
(b) reduce the lease term from 10 years to eight years. The annual fixed payment for the
3,500 square metres is `1,50,000 payable at the end of each year (from Year 6 to Year
8). Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the beginning of Year 6 is 7% p.a.
The consideration for the increase in scope of 1,500 square metres of space is not
commensurate with the stand-alone price for that increase adjusted to reflect the circumstances
of the contract. Consequently, Lessee does not account for the increase in scope that adds the
right to use an additional 1,500 square metres of space as a separate lease.
How should the said modification be accounted for?

Question 39
Entity ABC (original lessee/intermediate lessor) leases a building for five years. The building has
an economic life of 40 years. Entity ABC subleases the building for four years.
How should the said sublease be classified by Entity ABC?
(Study Material)
Answer
The sublease is classified with reference to the ‘ROU Asset’ in the head lease (and NOT the
‘underlying building’ of the head lease).Hence, when assessing the useful life criterion, the
sublease term of four years is compared with five-year ROU Asset in the head lease (NOT
compared with 40-year economic life of the building) and accordingly may result in the sublease
being classified as a finance lease.
Question 40
Head lease:
An intermediate lessor enters into a five-year lease for 10,000 square metres of office space (the
head lease) with Entity XYZ (the head lessor).
Sublease:
At the beginning of Year 3, the intermediate lessor subleases the 10,000 square metres of office
space for the remaining lease term i.e three years of the head lease to a sub-lessee.
How should the said sublease be classified and accounted for by the Intermediate Lessor?
(Study Material)
Answer
The intermediate lessor classifies the sublease by reference to the ROU Asset arising from the
head lease (i.e., in this case, comparing the three-year sublease with the five-year ROU Asset in
Page 32
Question 41
Head lease:
An intermediate lessor enters into a five-year lease for 10,000 square metres of office space (the
head lease) with Entity XYZ (the head lessor).
Sublease:
At the commencement of the head lease, the intermediate lessor subleases the 10,000 square
metres of office space for two years to a sub-lessee.
How should the said sublease be classified and accounted for by the Intermediate Lessor?
(Study Material)
Answer
The intermediate lessor classifies the sublease by reference to the ROU Asset arising from the
head lease (i.e., in this case, comparing the two-year sublease with the five-year ROU Asset in
the head lease). The intermediate lessor classifies the sublease as an operating lease, having
considered the requirements of Ind AS 116 (i.e., one of the criteria of ‘useful life’ for a lease to be
classified as a finance lease and since, it is not satisfied, classified the same as an operating
lease).
When the intermediate lessor enters into the sublease, the intermediate lessor retains:
- the lease liability AND
- the ROU asset
both relating to the head lease in its balance sheet.
During the term of the sublease, the intermediate lessor:
(a) recognises a depreciation charge for the ROU asset and interest on the lease liability;
AND
(b) recognises lease income from the sublease.
Sub-lessee Accounting:
A sub-lessee accounts for its lease in the same manner as any other lease (i.e., as a new lease
subject to Ind AS 116’s recognition and measurement provisions).

Question 43
A retailer (lessee) entered into 3-year lease of retail space beginning at 1 April 2017 with three
annual lease payments of `2,00,000 due on 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The
lease is classified as an operating lease under Ind AS 17. The retailer initially applies Ind AS 116
for the first time in the annual period beginning at 1 April 2019. The incremental borrowing rate at
the date of the initial application (i.e., 1 April 2019) is 10% p.a. and at the commencement of the
lease (i.e., 1 April 2017) was 12% p.a. The ROU asset is subject to straight-line depreciation over
the lease term. Assume that no practical expedients are elected, the lessee did not incur initial
direct costs, there were no lease incentives and there were no requirements for the lessee to
dismantle and remove the underlying asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the
underlying asset to the condition under the terms and conditions of the lease.
What would be the impact for the lessee using all the following transition approaches:

Question 45
Customer M enters into a 20-year contract with Energy Supplier S to install, operate and maintain
a solar plant for M’s energy supply. M designed the solar plant before it was constructed – M
hired experts in solar energy to assist in determining the location of the plant and the engineering
of the equipment to be used. M has the exclusive right to receive and the obligation to take any
energy produced. Whether it can be established that M is having the right to control the use of
identified asset?
(Study Material)
Answer
In this case, the nature of the solar plant is such that all of the decisions about how and for what
purpose the asset is used are predetermined because:
– the type of output (i.e. energy) and the production location are predetermined in the
agreement; and
– when, whether and how much energy is produced is influenced by the sunlight and the
design of the solar plant.
Because M designed the solar plant and thereby predetermined any decisions about how and for
what purpose it is used, M is considered to have the right to direct the use. Although regular
maintenance of the solar plant may increase the efficiency of the solar panels, it does not give the
supplier the right to direct how and for what purpose the solar plant is used. Hence, M is having a
right to control the use of asset.
Question 46
A Customer enters into a ten-year contract with a Company (a ship owner) for the use of an
identified ship. Customer decides whether and what cargo will be transported, and when and to
which ports the ship will sail throughout the period of use, subject to restrictions specified in the
contract. These restrictions prevent the company from sailing the ship into waters at a high risk of
Page 41
Question 47
A Lessee enters into a ten-year lease contract with a Lessor to use an equipment. The contract
includes maintenance services (as provided by lessor). The Lessor obtains its own insurance for
the equipment. Annual payments are ` 10,000 (` 1,000 relate to maintenance services and ` 500
to insurance costs).
The Lessee is able to determine that similar maintenance services and insurance costs are
offered by third parties for ` 2,000 and ` 500 a year, respectively. The Lessee is unable to find an
observable stand-alone rental amount for a similar equipment because none is leased without
related maintenance services provided by the lessor.
How would the Lessee allocate the consideration to the lease component?
(Study Material)
Answer
The observable stand-alone price for maintenance services is ` 2,000. There is no observable
stand-alone price for the lease. Further, the insurance cost does not transfer a good or service to
the lessee and therefore, it is not a separate lease component.
Thus, the Lessee allocates ` 8,000 (` 10,000 – ` 2,000) to the lease component.
Question 48
A Lessee enters into a non-cancellable lease contract with a Lessor to lease a building.
Initially, the lease is for five years, and the lessee has the option to extend the lease by another
five years at the same rental.
To determine the lease term, the lessee considers the following factors:
♦ Market rentals for a comparable building in the same area are expected to increase by
10% over the ten-year period covered by the lease. At inception of the lease, lease
rentals are in accordance with current market rents.
♦ The lessee intends to stay in business in the same area for at least 20 years.
♦ The location of the building is ideal for relationships with suppliers and customers. What
should be the lease term for lease accounting under Ind AS 116?
(Study Material)
Page 42
Question 49
A Lessee enters into a lease of a five-year-old machine. The non-cancellable lease term is 15
years. The lessee has the option to extend the lease after the initial 15-year period for optional
periods of 12 months each at market rents.
To determine the lease term, the lessee considers the following factors:
♦ The machine is to be used in manufacturing parts for a type of plane that the lessee
expects will remain popular with customers until development and testing of an improved
model are completed in approximately 15 years.
♦ The cost to install the machine in lessee’s manufacturing facility is significant.
♦ The non-cancellable term of lessee’s manufacturing facility lease ends in 19 years, and
the lessee has an option to renew that lease for another twelve years.
♦ Lessee does not expect to be able to use the machine in its manufacturing process for
other types of planes without significant modifications.
♦ The total remaining life of the machine is 30 years.
What should be the lease term for lease accounting under Ind AS 116?
(Study Material)
Answer
The lessee notes that the terms for the optional renewal provide no economic incentive and the
cost to install is significant. The lessee has no incentive to make significant modifications to the
machine after the initial 15-year period. Therefore, the lessee does not expect to have a business
purpose for using the machine after the non-cancellable lease term of 15 years.
Thus, the lessee concludes that the lease term consists of the 15-year non-cancellable period
only.
Question 50
A Company leases a manufacturing facility. The lease payments depend on the number of
operating hours of the manufacturing facility, i.e., the lessee has to pay ` 2,000 per hour of use.
The annual minimum payment is ` 2,00,00,000. The expected usage per year is 20,000 hours.
Whether the said payments be included in the calculation of lease liability under Ind AS 116?
(Study Material)
Answer
The said lease contains in-substance fixed payments of ` 2,00,00,000 per year, which are
included in the initial measurement of the lease liability under Ind AS 116.
However, the additional ` 2,00,00,000 that the company expects to pay per year are variable
payments that do not depend on an index or rate and, thus, are not included in the initial
measurement of the lease liability but, are expensed when the over-use occurs.
