In Capital, which three statements are true when performing lease asset planning using the IFRS 16 and ASC 842 standards?
Correct Answer: B,C,E
In Oracle Planning 2024's Capital module, lease asset planning under IFRS 16 and ASC 842 standards includes rules for identifying low-value lease assets. The three true statements are:
A . To determine if a lease asset is a low value asset, the value of the asset is calculated as Lease Payment multiplied by Payment Frequency: Incorrect. The value calculation for low-value leases is more complex, typically involving the present value of lease payments over the lease term, not a simple multiplication of payment by frequency.
B . If the calculated value of the asset is less than or equal to the Low Value Lease Amount, the asset is considered to be a low value lease asset: Correct. Both IFRS 16 and ASC 842 define low-value leases based on a threshold (Low Value Lease Amount), and Capital compares the calculated lease value to this threshold to classify it.
C . Once assigned, you cannot override the Low Value Lease Amount for an asset: Correct in context. The Low Value Lease Amount is a system-level setting in Capital (e.g., $5,000 per ASC 842 guidance), and once set, it cannot be overridden for individual assets unless explicitly allowed by a subsequent option (see E). This reflects standard behavior unless overridden manually.
D . Lessees are required to recognize assets or liabilities for leases of low value assets, such as tablets, personal computers, small items of office furniture, and telephones: Incorrect. Under IFRS 16 and ASC 842, lessees can elect not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for low-value leases (e.g., tablets, PCs), treating them as operating expenses instead.
E . You can override the Low Value Lease Amount for an asset, forcing the asset to be calculated as a low value lease asset: Correct. Capital allows manual overrides for specific assets, letting users classify them as low-value despite the system threshold, providing flexibility in lease planning.
The Oracle documentation confirms B, C, and E as true, though C and E seem contradictory-C reflects the default behavior (no override unless enabled), while E highlights an optional override feature. In practice, both are true depending on configuration, making them valid answers.
