    Please, could you check the following problem and confirm my entries on Debit and Credit sides are right:

    A lessee enters into a five-year lease of a building which has a remaining useful life of ten years. Lease payments are $50,000 per annum, payable at the beginning of each year. The lessee incurs initial direct costs of $20,000 and receives lease incentives of $5,000. There is no transfer of the asset at the end of the lease and no purchase option. The interest rate implicit in the lease is not immediately determinable but the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is 5%. At the commencement date the lessee pays the initial $50,000, incurs the direct costs and receives the lease incentives.

    Hi,

    Where is it that you cannot see the 50,000 credit?

    Thanks

    I have revised your notes and watched lectures again.
    I am bit confused now.

    This is a text:
    “A lessee enters into a five-year lease of a building which has a remaining useful life of ten years. Lease payments are $50,000 per annum, payable at the beginning of each year. The lessee incurs initial direct costs of $20,000 and receives lease incentives of $5,000. There is no transfer of the asset at the end of the lease and no purchase option. The interest rate implicit in the lease is not immediately determinable but the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is 5%. At the commencement date the lessee pays the initial $50,000, incurs the direct costs and receives the lease incentives. ”

    In case of rentals paid in advance, they give the following solution:

    Annuity factor is calculated using 4 years, giving 177297 as discounted liability.

    Assets and liabilities will initially be recognized as follows:

    Debit

    Right-of-use asset:
    Initial payment 50,000
    Discounted liability 177,297
    Initial direct costs 20,000
    Incentives received (5,000)
    Total: 242297

    But what I understood from your lectures, we have to take 5 years for annuity factor adding other costs and deducting incentives. This totaled 231473 in my case.
    Is there any information I miss here ? I can’t understand, what amount is correct.

    And could you please be so kind to show allocation of initial recognition amounts to credits and debits, using correct amounts.

    Thank you.

    Yes, but payments are in advance and so the discounting is from T0 to T4, and not T1 to T5 as is the case when payments are in arrears.

    Does that clear it up for you?

    Thanks

    Yes, but how should we recognize right of use and liability in exam question -T0 to T4 or T1-T5 in case of advance payments? in your lecture you you apply T1-T5, right?

    Thank you

    Yes, the payments were in arrears in the lecture example but they could also be in advance, and so you need to adjust the discount factor used. I doubt that you’d be expected to do this in the exam and would be given the PV of the future lease payments.

    Thanks

    Sorry, but I’m not here to just answer a full question for you. You need to attempt it fully first and then if you are struggling on a particular aspect then you can let me know and then I can help you out.

    Thanks
