Dear Sir,
Could you please explain to me below:
In an operating lease situation the affected asset is not depreciated.Why is this so?
Because we don’t capitalise it. Only for a finance lease do we “pretend” that the asset is ours.
This is one of the issues at present being discussed about this apparently arbitrary distinction between the treatment of operating / finance leased assets
For a finance lease, the fair value of the asset is capitalised and depreciated
For an operating lease we merely record as expenses through Profit or Loss the operating lease payments
Ok?
