Case Study: Treatment of Leases-Current VS. New Lease Requirements and the Impact on Financial Ratios

CASE DESCRIPTION

After decades of continuous controversy since the package of FASB 13, there has been a major change in Lease Accounting effective for the period ending after December 15, 2018.The changes are dramatic and effectively capitalizes all non-cancellable lease terms greater than one year. The liability created by the lease will now become a balance sheet debt item, This case study focuses on the differences in the treatment of leases between the current lease pronouncements and the upcoming new lease rules under US GAAP, and the impact of these differences on financial statements and selected financial ratios. Students will take GAAP financial statements under the present lease requirements and prepare a balance sheet, cash flow statement and income statement reflecting the new lease rules. This case study is suitable for use at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. It may be used in an Intermediate Accounting II, Accounting Theory, Financial Statement Analysis or an International Accounting class, as well as an Investment Finance course. The case can be offered as an individual case study or as a group project.
