[IFRS 15.B70–B71]<br />
If a customer has a right to require the entity to repurchase the asset (a put option) at<br />
a price that is lower than the original selling price, then at contract inception the entity<br />
assesses whether the customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise the<br />
right. To make this assessment, an entity considers factors including the:<br />
– relationship of the repurchase price to the expected market value of the asset at<br />
the date of repurchase; and<br />
– amount of time until the right expires.<br />

[IFRS 15.B70, B72]<br />
606-10-55-75, 55-78<br />
[IFRS 15.B73, B76]<br />
606-10-55-77<br />
[IFRS 15.B75]<br />
If the customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise the put option, then<br />
the entity accounts <strong>for</strong> the agreement as a lease. Conversely, if the customer does<br />
not have a significant economic incentive, then the entity accounts <strong>for</strong> the agreement<br />
as the sale of a product with a right of return (see 10.1 in Issues In-Depth, Edition<br />
2016).<br />
If the repurchase price of the asset is equal to or greater than the original selling<br />
price and is more than the expected market value of the asset, then the contract<br />
is accounted <strong>for</strong> as a financing arrangement. In this case, if the option expires<br />
unexercised, then the entity derecognizes the liability and the related asset and<br />
recognizes revenue at the date on which the option expires.<br />
When comparing the repurchase price with the selling price, the entity considers the<br />
time value of money.<br />
