I have just done the quiz, and worked really well for me, apart from question 1. I cannot figure, how they arrive at 70. I calcualated depreciation based on 7 months ok being 55,417, but then the rest of the amount in the answer as being the interest rate on 250.000. How was that calculated? Could you please specify?
There is an omission of space. It’s not a b/f of 1,750,000. It is actually the year ending ’17 – with 50,000.00 as initial entry. Same applies for the second row.
Good day. If payments are made in arrears we first calculate interest then deduct payments. If we pay in advance first we deduct payment then calculate interest. Hope you get it.
It is only when payments are made in advance. However, if payments are made in arrears interest rate is computed on the bal b/f before deducting the payment.

380-130=250
We use this amount because the 250 is due immediately and then the interest is taken on the outstanding balance at the end of the year.

How do I use the market discount rate on lease?
kennetho98 says
Apply the discount rate on the lease liability at year-end before deducting lease payments(if they’re paid in arrears)
goldybird says
Question 1- should depreciation not be calculated on the Right of Use asset valued at the present value of lease payments?

Question on 4 & 6. Aren’t the interest being calculated on the B/F AFTER cash deducted? This was in the lectures.
Thank you in advance!
