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
