finance lease 2

Mmansoor11y ago
an item is leased at 700,000 fair value on 1 Oct x8. lease requires 4 payments of 200,000 each at every 1 Oct, starting 1 oct x8. implicit rate is 10%. what r the extracts at the year end 31 March x9 year 1: b/f=700 rental=(200) capital o/s = 500 6 mts % = 25 Bal at 31 Mar x9 = 525 my working below is wrong: so, Total liab = 525 = Non curr. Liab (NCL) + curr. liab (CL) since the rentals are made in advance, the CL=200 thus NCL = 525 - 200 = 325 correct working by kaplan: NCL=350 CL=525-350= 175 ------ i know that 350 is the outstanding balance after rental in year 2. but our CL is 200, no? thanks again

If you know that 350 is the outstanding balance after rental in year 2 is 350 and you also know that the total balance at 31 March X9 is 525, then the current liability must be the difference!

yeah..but since we are paying 200 in advance,,, wdnt that always be the current liab??

But the current liability relates purely to the capital element of the obligation. That 200 includes the 25 interest from October to March that won't be paid until next October Have you watched the lecture?

Mike sorry, I have stuck in this question. Why they have used $ 700 instead of $ 697,370 Which is the lower amount ?? Premium paid =200,000 add 200,000*((1-(1+0.1)^-3)/.1)=497,370 Total.....697,370

I forget to put tripple zeros. Its $ 700,000 and not 700

I hope this is not one of my questions! I calculate the present value to be the same as your calculation ie 6,973,704 and that should be the amount capitalised Ok?
