Objective of the workpaper

Qualify the event (reassessment of the term or of an option, change in an index or a guarantee, modification that is or is not a separate lease), determine the applicable rate, discount the revised payments, deal with any decrease in scope (gain or loss on the partial termination), then adjust the right-of-use asset for the remeasurement of the lease liability and record the entries.

Inputs

Inputs
  • Lease concerned (underlying asset, initial term and rate)

    TextRequired

  • Amendment or triggering event (nature, effective date, terms changed)

    TextRequired

  • Effective date of the event or modification

    DateRequired

    20X3-12-31

  • Carrying amount of the lease liability before the event

    NumberRequired

    NumberRequired

    Enter the revised lease payments remaining due at the effective date, grouped by due date (0 for an unused row). The rate is revised for a change in the lease term or in the assessment of a purchase option (paras. 40 and 41) and for a modification that is not a separate lease (para. 45); it is unchanged for a residual value guarantee or an index, except for a change in floating interest rates (paras. 42 and 43).

Nature of the event: remeasurement

Analysis

  • Events triggering a remeasurement

    ChecklistRequired

    • Significant event within the lessee's control changing the assessment of an option
    • Change in the non-cancellable period (option exercised or not exercised)
    • Change in the assessment of a purchase option
    • Revised rate: implicit rate for the remaining term, otherwise incremental borrowing rate at the reassessment date
    • Residual value guarantee: remeasurement when the amount expected to be payable under the guarantee changes
    • Index or rate: remeasurement when the cash flows actually change (adjustment to the payments taking effect)
    • Rate unchanged, except for a change in floating interest rates
    • Difference adjusted against the right-of-use asset; excess in profit or loss once it is reduced to zero
    • Decrease compared with the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset (after any decrease in scope); any excess recognised in profit or loss, outside the entries of this workpaper

Lease modification

Analysis

IFRS 16 §44IFRS 16 §45IFRS 16 §46IFRS 16 §104IFRS 16 §105IFRS 16 §106

  • Analysis of the modification

    Checklist

    • Separate lease: additional right of use and price increase commensurate with its adjusted stand-alone price
    • Otherwise: allocation of the consideration, new term and revised rate at the effective date
    • Decrease in scope: reduction of the right-of-use asset and gain or loss on the partial termination
    • Other modifications: right-of-use asset adjusted by the remeasurement amount
    • Modification required by interest rate benchmark reform only: remeasurement under paragraph 42

Remeasurement and effects of the modification

  • Present value of revised payment no. 5

    Calculation

    74,725.82

    Revised lease payment remaining due no. 5 ; Periodic discount rate applied (revised or unchanged depending on the event) ; Timing of payment no. 5 (number of periods from the effective date)

  • Decrease in the right-of-use asset (terminated part)

    Calculation

    Carrying amount of the right-of-use asset before the event ; Decrease in scope: measure of the terminated and retained parts (floor area, number of assets) ; Row corresponding to the terminated part

    The standard requires the right-of-use asset to be reduced to reflect the partial termination (para. 46) without setting the measure of proportion: the key used (floor area, number of assets) and its split between rows are a documented judgement; the same key is applied here to the lease liability.

  • Decrease in the lease liability (terminated part)

    Calculation

    Carrying amount of the lease liability before the event ; Decrease in scope: measure of the terminated and retained parts (floor area, number of assets) ; Row corresponding to the terminated part

  • Gain on the partial termination

    Calculation

    0

    Decrease in the lease liability (terminated part) ; − Decrease in the right-of-use asset (terminated part)

  • Loss on the partial termination

    Calculation

    0

    Decrease in the lease liability (terminated part) ; − Decrease in the right-of-use asset (terminated part)

  • Remeasurement adjustment (remeasured liability less carrying amount after any decrease)

    CalculationRequired

    235,295.33

    Remeasured lease liability (sum of the present values below) ; − Carrying amount of the lease liability before the event ; Decrease in the lease liability (terminated part)

  • Increase in the lease liability adjusted against the right-of-use asset

    CalculationRequired

    235,295.33

    Remeasured lease liability (sum of the present values below) ; − Carrying amount of the lease liability before the event ; Decrease in the lease liability (terminated part)

  • Decrease in the lease liability adjusted against the right-of-use asset

    CalculationRequired

    0

    Remeasured lease liability (sum of the present values below) ; − Carrying amount of the lease liability before the event ; Decrease in the lease liability (terminated part)

    Once the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the rest of the decrease is recognised in profit or loss (para. 39). This workpaper does not cap the decrease and has no profit or loss line for that excess: if the decrease exceeds the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset after any decrease in scope, the preparer limits the right-of-use line to that amount and recognises the excess in profit or loss outside this workpaper; the balance check does not detect this situation.

  • Downward remeasurement of the lease liability

    Entry

    Debit Lease liability ← Decrease in the lease liability adjusted against the right-of-use asset ; Credit Right-of-use asset ← Decrease in the lease liability adjusted against the right-of-use asset

    The IFRS 16 entry map contains a single remeasurement family, LIABILITY_REMEASUREMENT, described for an increase (debit right-of-use asset, credit lease liability). As there is no family dedicated to a decrease, this entry uses it with the sides reversed: debit lease liability, credit right-of-use asset, for the same amount. The impact declared by the family (increase in assets and liabilities) therefore does not apply here: assets and liabilities decrease.
