Hey!
I have been going through the ACCA study hub for FR and came to know that the analysis of Lease liability into current and non-current is not in line with the treatment made in kaplan study text. I will be really grateful if you could provide me any guidance regarding it.

Our class notes and tuition videos cover how to split the lease liability into current and non-current liabilities.
What is the difference in what is on the ACCA Study Hub and the Kaplan Study Text?
Thanks
January 18, 2024 at 6:02 pm #698599For a mid-year lease agreement, kaplan study text considers present year’s non-current lease liability as the subtotal (total lease liability B/F + time apportioned interest charge – interest payment made in mid-year) of the next year. To find the current lease liability, it subtracts non-current lease liability from present year’s total lease liability.
However, in ACCA study hub, they have simply considered the interest payment made in mid-year as the current lease liability.
Both the treatments, result in different answers. However, this is only the case for mid-year lease agreement i.e when the payments are made somewhere in between the year instead of at the very start or end of the year.

Mid-year leases and an added bit of complexity to the calculations but the technique that we use should still work if you set up the lease liability table correctly.
Thanks
