    Hi sir,

    Question

    Sugar Co leased a machine from Spice Co. The terms of the lease are as follows:
    Inception of lease 1 January 20X1
    Lease term 4 years at $78,864 per annum payable in arrears
    Present value of future lease payments $250,000
    Useful life of asset 4 years
    Interest rate: 10 %
    Required

    (b) Explain, with suitable workings and extracts from the financial statements, how Sugar Co
    should account for the lease for the year ended 31 December 20X1. Notes to the accounts are not required.

    Answer

    STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION AS AT 31 DECEMBER 20X1 (EXTRACT)

    Non-current liabilities
    Lease liabilities (W) 136,886

    Current liabilities
    Lease liabilities (W) (196,136 – 136,886) 59,250

    Working: Lease liability
    $
    Year ended 31 December 20X1:
    1.1.X1 Liability b/d 250,000
    1.1.X1 – 31.12.X1 Interest at 10% 25,000
    31.12.X1 Instalment in arrears (78,864)
    31.12.X1 Liability c/d 196,136

    Year ended 31 December 20X2:
    1.1.X2 – 31.12.X2 Interest at 10% 19,614
    31.12.X2 Instalment in arrears (78,864)
    31.12.X2 Liability c/d 136,886

    1) I can arrive to this figure 31.12.X1 Liability c/d 196,136 for 1 year , But i dont know what to do the rest of calculations and calculate for second year 31/12/x2
    please clarify reasons for calculation second year and rational of the calculations because i didn’t understand them

    2) i didn’t understand how to allocate liability between current and non current regarding this question

    thanks v much sir

    Hi,
    The second year (y/e December X2), continues from the end of the first year (y/e December X1). So, the interest charged at 10% is applied to the opening lease liability balance of 196,136, to give 19,614. The payment then reduces the balance by 78,864 to give the closing liability of 136,886.

    The only reason we have continued to calculate the figures for the second year is to help us work out the split between current and non-current. To calculate the non-current amount we look at the number immediately to the right of the final payment in the year following. So the year following is December X2 and the final payment is 78,864. The number immediately to the right of this figure is 136,886 and this is then the non-current liability. The current liability is then the difference between the non-current amount of 136,886 and the total liability of 196,136.

    Thanks
