Sale-Leaseback Transaction

ASSIGNMENT TITLE HERE
Introduction
The CFO of General Tools would like a better understanding of the improvement to cash balances using a sale-leaseback transaction. First, the definition of a sale-leaseback transaction will be discussed. Points of discussion for the CFO include an explanation of how the sale portion of the transaction should be accounted for at the lease’s inception. Next, how the gain on the sale portion of the sale-leaseback transaction should be accounted for during the lease will be
explained. Then the details of how the leaseback portion of the transaction should be accounted for at the lease’s inception are discussed. Finally, the conceptual basis for capitalizing certain long-term leases is examined. The benefits of the sale-leaseback transaction will be revealed to the CFO of General Tools. What is a Sale-Leaseback?
A sale-leaseback transaction is when a company sells an asset to raise capital, but the company also leases back the asset from the purchaser. A company receives the cash and the asset for operation purposes. “A sale and leaseback, or more simply, a leaseback, is a contract between a seller and a buyer where the former sells an asset to the latter and then enters into a second contract to lease the asset back from the buyer” (Singer, R., Winiarski, H., & Coleman, S.
2020). For example, company A is short on cash and enters into a contract with company B to sell a building that is in use and then enters into an agreement with company B to lease back the building, thus allowing company A to continue using the building.
Sale-leaseback Points for CFO
The CFO of General Tools should be aware of the following four points of discussion to gain a better understanding of the sale-leaseback transaction. When using the sale-lease back approach, “record the sale of the asset (with any accompanying gain or loss) and then record a 2

lease for the leaseback portion in accordance with lease guidance” (Spiceland 2019, pg. 879). The gain of the sale will reduce General Tool’s liability and reduce taxes on the asset. A sale-
leaseback transaction is only allowed if it qualifies as an operating lease. One criterion is that assets being leased are not recorded on the company’s balance sheet but are expensed on the income statement. Another characteristic is that the lease cannot contain a bargain purchase price. Another criterion is the “term is less than 75% of the asset’s estimated economic life and the present value (PV) of lease payments is less than 90% of the asset's fair market value” (Tardi 2022). The capitalized lease approach posts the company’s lease obligation as an asset on the balance sheet, but a capitalized lease delays the recognition of the lease payments expense. Conclusion
Provided with all the details of the sale-leaseback transaction, General Tools CFO gained a better
understanding surrounding leaseback transaction. It is important to note that to use a sale-
leaseback transaction, it must meet the criteria of an operating lease. The CFO has expanded knowledge leasebacks and can count on the gain to bolster the period’s earnings. 3
