Accounting

Facts: On 1/1/x1, Andale's Spanish subsidiary, SpainCo, leases a vacant restaurant (with a fair value of $2 million) in Barcelona for a 4-year term with fixed payments amounting to the equivalent of $6,000 USD per month in year 1, payable at the end of each month, with monthly rent escalating annually on Jan. 1 by the change in CPI in each subsequent year of the contract. SpainCo's incremental borrowing rate is 5.5%. Assume the restaurant's useful life is 25 years, and assume that SpainCo is a public company with publicly-traded securities and has a calendar year-end.
a. Determine the financial reporting framework applicable to SpainCo's financial reporting.
b. Determine the classification of this lease on SpainCo's subsidiary-level financial statements.
c. Determine the initial measurement for the lease as of 1/1/x1, then show the journal entries required at 12/31/x1 to reflect activity through the year x1.
d. As of 1/1/x2, CPA has escalated by 3.2% and SpainCo's current incremental borrowing rate is 6%. Determine whether the lease liability should be remeasured for this change and determine the impact (if any) on the right-of-use asset.
e. Provide the journal entries to reflect activity throughout the year 12/31/x2.
f. Next, identify differences in this reporting compared to U.S. GAAP, as Andale will need to reconcile this reporting to GAAP for its consolidated financial statements.
