Ans 5 (i) If Adidas treat the lease as capital lease, the asset would be created in the books of account.
The interest and depreciation expense impact would be higher in 2017 compared to Lease
expense under Operating lease. This would reduce the equity capital of Adidas.
The debt to equity ratio of Adidas would increase.
(ii) Due to higher interest expense in 2017, Adidas would have reduced profit for 2017 if
lease would be treated as capital lease. This would reduce interest coverage ratio.
(iii) The interest cost is added back in Operating cash and disclosed as financing cash flow.
Depreciation is added back being non-cash expenses. Accordingly, under capital lease treatment
Operating cash flow would improve.
Under Operating lease, lease expenses are treated as operating cash flow and adversely impact
operating cash flow.
(iv) The net income of Adidas would reduce under capital lease as lease interest expenses would
have been higher in year 2017.
