    Hi Mike, please guide for the following question. Thank you.

    During the y.e 31 Mar x5, Delight entered into two lease transactions:

    – on 1 Apr x4, a payment $80,000 being the first of five equal annual payments of a finance lease for an item of plant. The lease has an implicit interest rate of 10% and the fair value (cost to purchase) of the leased equipment on 1 Apr x4 was $333,600.

    – on 1 Nov x4, payment of $12,000 for a one yr lease of an item of packaging equipment.

    What amount in total would be charged to SOPL for ye 31 Mar x5?

    The answer given was $97,080.

    Could the answer be wrong =/

    No, the answer’s correct. I was wondering whether you were going to agree and then I would have pointed out that that first $80,000 includes no interest – it is an entirely capital payment

    Thus the amount outstanding for 1 year with effect from 1 April, 2014 is $253,600 and 10% of that is $25,360

    Depreciation is $333,600 / 5 = $66,720

    and the operating lease is a further $12,000 x 5/12 = $5,000

    A total lease cost of $97,080

    OK?

    I see. So there is no need to consider any impairment loss but to take $333,600 as the total finance lease. Is it correct to put it like that?

    Yes – but why do you imagine that there might be an impairment?
