Variable Rate Contracts

This chapter covers the following topics:

Overview

Leasing and Finance Management features both fixed and variable rate contracts. When authoring a fixed rate lease or loan contract, the implicit interest rate is calculated based on the payments you define on the contract. Based on those payments, Leasing and Finance Management calculates the implicit interest rate. On a fixed rate loan, you have the option to specify an interest rate for the contract, which is used to calculate the interest payments. You can define either a total loan payment , including combined principal and interest, or a principal payment and interest rate. When you choose to define a principal payment and interest rate, the interest rate defined is used to calculate the interest payment amounts. For variable rate contracts, you can associate an interest index to the contract, which is used to recalculate periodic payments or to recalculate the interest payments.

Based on the interest index associated to a contract, the applicable interest rate can change during the term of a contract, making it a variable rate contract. Leasing and Finance Management calculates the applicable interest rate and processes variable rate for a variety of contract types and interest scenarios. Leasing and Finance Management calculates variable interest based on the contract types defined. Contract types are determined by Book Classification, Tax Owner, Interest Calculation Basis, and Revenue Recognition Method. Leasing and Finance Management calculates variable interest for the following book classifications:

Conditions

Leasing and Finance Management processes variable rate with the following conditions:

Variable Rate Leases

Overview

For a fixed rate lease, the implicit interest rate is based on the payments defined on the contract, and does not change during the life of the contract. For a variable rate lease contract, the payments are revised based on a interest index associated to the contract. Leasing and Finance Management features variable rate for Operating Leases, Direct Finance Leases, and Sales Type Leases.

The revenue recognition method for leases is Streams.

The interest calculation basis for variable rate leases are:

Fixed Rate

For fixed rate lease contracts, the payments do not change over the life of a contract as the interest rate is constant.

Reamortization

For a variable rate reamort lease, periodic payments are defined during booking. Reamortization is the automated process that solves for a new periodic payment amount based on the applicable interest rate for the contract and the remaining balance that will pay down the balance amount over the remaining term to zero, assuming no future change in interest rates.

Float Factors

Float Factor lease contracts include additional billing based on the applicable interest rate of the contract in addition to the periodic rent. The additional amount is billed using the float factor adjustment stream on the rent due date.

Variable Rate Lease Parameters

Before entering interest rate details for a lease contract, verify that the interest rate parameters are valid and supported. The following table describes what interest rate parameters are supported in Leasing and Finance Management for the following types of leases:

Note: For Conversion Basis fields, you can enter a value, but automatic processing of the conversions is not supported in Leasing and Finance Management.

Variable Rate Lease Examples

The following section explains the most common variable rate lease scenarios.

Reamortize Contract on Rate Change

Overview

In this scenario the rent payment is defined on the contract at the time of booking. On the billing schedule, if there is a change in the applicable interest rate, the new rate is used to calculate the future payments and rebook the contract. The rent is billed on the Rent schedule.

The Create Receivables Variable Rate Invoices program should be run for each billing period to reamortize the contract. The program will recalculate the future payments and rebook the contract with the revised payments.

The following table describes contract conditions for reamortizing a lease contract on an interest rate change.

Float Factor Contracts

Overview

In this scenario, a periodic rent payment is defined during booking, which does not change during the term of the contract. Additionally, a float factor formula is associated to the contract. On the rent schedule, the float factor formula is computed based on the applicable interest rate of the contract and the amount derived is billed using a float factor stream.

The Create Receivables Variable Rate Invoices program should be run for each rental period to calculate the additional float factor adjustment amount. The program will solve the formula associated to the contract and create a Float Factor Adjustment stream for the derived amount. The Float Factor Adjustment stream will be billed using the standard billing programs for Leasing and Finance Management.

Variable Rate Loans

Overview

Leasing and Finance Management supports fixed rate and variable rate loan contracts. For a fixed rate loan, the implicit interest rate does not change during the life of the contract. For a variable rate contract, the payments may be revised based on an interest index associated to the contract. Contracts with a revenue recognition method of Actual are also referred to as Per Diem Loans.

The processing of variable rate contracts will differ based on the interest calculation basis and the revenue recognition method defined. Interest calculation basis determines whether the actual or scheduled principal balance should be used to calculate interest for a variable rate contract. The revenue recognition method determines whether the actual or scheduled principal balance should be used to account for income.

The following table shows interest calculation basis and revenue recognition method combinations for variable rate loan contracts.

Leasing and Finance Management calculates variable rate loans based on the following types.

Variable Rate Loan Types

The following section describes common Leasing and Finance Management variable rate loan types.

Fixed Loan Where Revenue Recognition is Actual

For a fixed rate loan, the periodic payment amounts to be billed do not change over the life of a contract, as the interest rate is constant. If the revenue recognition method is Actual, the loan is processed as a variable rate contract. The interest amount recognized as income is based on the applicable interest rate and payment received for the contract. The interest amount to be accrued is calculated based on the actual principal balance of the loan. The payment is first applied towards interest and the remaining payment amount is applied to the principal balance of the contract.

Floating Rate Loan Where Revenue Recognition is Estimated and Billed

For a floating rate loan, the principal payment amounts are determined during booking and do not change over the life of the contract. The interest amounts are calculated and billed periodically based on the applicable interest rate of the contract. The interest rate on the loan may change during the lifetime of the contract, at a frequency different to the billing frequency. Principal and Interest are billed on the Principal schedule and the Interest schedule respectively. The actual interest amount is recognized as income. If the actual interest has not been calculated for a period, an estimated interest amount is accrued, which is reversed in the following period.

Floating Rate Loan Where Revenue Recognition is Actual

For a floating rate loan where the revenue recognition method is Actual, the principal payment amounts are determined during booking. The interest amounts are calculated periodically based on the applicable interest rate of the contract. The interest rate on the loan may change during the lifetime of the contract, at a frequency different to the billing frequency. The sum of the principal payment and the calculated interest amount for a given period is billed as Variable Loan Payment.

The interest amount recognized as income is based on the applicable interest rate and payment received for the contract. The interest amount to be accrued is calculated based on the actual principal balance of the loan. The payment is first applied towards interest and the remaining payment amount is applied to the principal balance of the contract.

Reamort Where Revenue Recognition is Streams

For a reamort loan, periodic payments are defined during booking. The Principal and Interest payment streams are generated during booking. On the billing schedule, if there is a change in the applicable interest rate then the new rate is used to calculate the future payments and rebook the contract. Principal and Interest is billed on the payment schedule. Interest income is accrued at the end of each month.

Reamort Loan Where Revenue Recognition is Actual

For a reamort loan where the revenue recognition method is Actual, periodic payments are defined during booking. On the billing schedule, if there is a change in the applicable interest rate then the new rate is used to calculate the future payments and rebook the contract. Loan payment is billed on the payment schedule.

The interest amount recognized as income is based on the applicable interest rate and payment received for the contract. The interest amount to be accrued is calculated based on the actual principal balance of the loan. The payment is first applied towards interest and the remaining payment amount is applied to the principal balance of the contract.

Catchup/Cleanup

For a Catchup/Cleanup loan, periodic payments are defined during booking. Principal payment, Interest payment and Income accrual streams are generated at the time of booking the contract. Principal and Interest are billed on the Principal schedule and the Interest schedule respectively. The actual principal balance is used as the basis of catchup calculation. The actual interest is calculated during catchup processing at the catchup frequency. If the actual interest amount exceeds the estimated interest, the difference is billed. If the estimated interest amount exceeds the actual interest calculated, then the amount can either be refunded, adjusted against principal or stored against the contract.

The Income accrual stream is used to recognize income based on the estimated interest at the end of each month. The additional interest amount billed is also recognized as income, on the catchup frequency.

Variable Rate Loan Examples

Fixed Amount Billed Periodically with Principal Reduction on Receipt of Cash

Periodic payments are defined on the contract. Loan payment schedule is generated at the time of booking the contract. The actual interest is calculated on Receipt of cash based on the actual principal balance. The receipt is applied first towards the interest amount and then to the principal. Actual interest is accrued as and when the accrual program is run. The actual interest is recalculated up to the accrual date and the difference between the actual interest accounted till date and actual interest calculated is accrued.

Reamortize Contract on Rate Change

In this example, the periodic payments are defined on the contract at the time of booking. On the billing schedule, if there is a change in the applicable interest rate, the new rate is used to calculate the new periodic payment amount based on the current principal balance that will pay down the principal balance over the remaining original term of the contract to a zero balance assuming no future change in indexed rates.

The Create Receivables Variable Rate Invoices program should be run for each billing period to reamortize the contract. The program will recalculate the future payments and rebook the contract with the revised payments.

Reamortize Contract on Rate Change with Principal Reduction on Receipt of Cash

In this scenario, the rent payment is defined on the contract at the time of booking. On the billing schedule, if there is a change in the applicable interest rate, the new rate is used to calculate the future payments and rebook the contract. The rent is billed on the Rent schedule.

The actual interest is calculated on Receipt of cash based on the actual principal balance. The receipt is applied first towards the interest amount and then to the principal. Actual interest is accrued as and when the accrual program is run. The actual interest is recalculated up to the accrual date and the difference between the actual interest accounted till date and actual interest calculated is accrued.

The Create Receivables Variable Rate Invoices program should be run for each billing period to reamortize the contract. The program will recalculate the future payments and rebook the contract with the revised payments.
