    Hi,

    Regarding the question 24 from the study text (copied below), I do not understand why the depreciation in the P&L is different from the one in the statement of financial position.
    I know that in many cases they are different, but in this particular case, I do not get it.

    Thanks.

    Diana

    24 Bulwell
    Bulwell Aggregates Co entered into a three-year contract to obtain three lorries on 1 January 20X1. The
    contract met the IFRS 16 criteria to be classified as a lease and the initial measurement of the right-of-use
    asset was $54,000. The agreement states that Bulwell Aggregates will pay a deposit of $9,000 on
    1 January 20X1, and two annual instalments of $24,000 on 31 December 20X1, 20X2 and a final
    instalment of $20,391 on 31 December 20X3. Ownership will pass to Bulwell at the end of the lease term.
    Interest is to be calculated at 25% on the balance outstanding on 1 January each year and paid on
    31 December each year.
    The depreciation policy of Bulwell Aggregates Co is to depreciate the right-of-use asset arising from the
    lease of the vehicles over a four year period using the straight line method.
    Required
    Show the entries in the statement of profit or loss and statement of financial position for the years 20X1,
    20X2, 20X3. This is the only lease transaction undertaken by this company.

    You appear to have missed off some small piece of critical information from your post! When I search on the internet for “F7 question Bulwell” the sentence that you have posted … “The depreciation policy of Bulwell Aggregates Co is to depreciate the right-of-use asset arising from the lease of the vehicles over a four year period using the straight line method.” … has a little bit more to it!

    Here’s the full sentence including the bit that you omitted what you missed off:

    “The depreciation policy of Bulwell Aggregates Co is to depreciate the right-of-use asset arising from the lease of the vehicles over a four year period using the straight line method.

    “and assuming a scrap value of $1,333 for each vehicle at the end of its useful life”

    So that explains why the company’s depreciation aggregates only $50,000 with a $4,000 residual scrap value

    However, I am stuck with the same issue as you – why is the depreciation in the statement of profit or loss $13,500 per annum whereas the depreciation deduction to arrive at the carrying value is only $12,500

    I can only assume that BPP has incorrectly omitted to consider the $4,000 residual value when typing the depreciation expense in the statement of financial position

    OK?
