Lessee
Basic lease, implicit rate
1/1/X1, XYZ leased a production machine for five years. Annual payments (in arrears) were 2,927 and XYZ retained the asset. Prices of comparable machines were readily available. On this basis, XYZ determined the machine's fair value was 12,000 and rate implicit in the lease was 7%. XYZ intended to use the machine 6 years, then sell it for 1,200. It actually sold it for 1,250 on 3/31/X7.
Put simply, the rate implicit in the lease is the rate that will cause the present value of the lease payments to equal the asset's fair value.
IFRS 16.Appendix A: [The] interest rate implicit in the lease [is] the rate of interest that causes the present value of (a) the lease payments and (b) the unguaranteed residual value to equal the sum of (i) the fair value of the underlying asset and (ii) any initial direct costs of the lessor.
ASC 842-20-20: The rate of interest that, at a given date, causes the aggregate present value of (a) the lease payments and (b) the amount that a lessor expects to derive from the underlying asset following the end of the lease term to equal the sum of (1) the fair value of the underlying asset minus any related investment tax credit retained and expected to be realized by the lessor and (2) any deferred initial direct costs of the lessor.
A rate implicit in the lease can thus be (readily) determined if, and only if, the asset's fair value can be (readily) determined.
The simplest way to calculate an implicit rate is using Excel's =rate function:
7.0039771424884% =RATE(5,-2927,12000,0,0,10%).
The syntax for the function is =RATE(number of periods, -payment, present value, future value, type of payment (0 beginning of period, 1 arrears), initial guess.

Current common practice is to recognize leased tangible assets as PP&E. This practice is expected to continue under IFRS 16 | ASC 842 even though right-of-use assets are, technically speaking, intangible assets.
IFRS 15 Appendix A | ASC 842-20-20 define a right-of-use asset as "An asset that represents a lessee's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term".
