    Hi Dea Tutor, I have some questions.

    Example(plum) in opentuition in lease chapter. On the video lecture, you just showed double entries for lessee accounting but coming to lessor accounting will it be in the below?

    debit receivable–22730
    credit asset—22730

    interest income

    debit receuvable-887
    credit interest income-887

    cash
    debit cash-5000
    credit receivable-5000

    usually if the lease at the start of the year it is double entries for cash is different from double entries from lease at the end of the year because in this case it is recorded below

    lease at the end of the year it looks like cash is divided into two parts.
    debit cash-5000
    credit lease receivable-4113
    credit interest income-887

    Use a regular amortised cost working.

    Payment in arrears : B/F + FC – CASH = C/F

    Payment in arrears ; B/F – CASH + FC = C/F

    FC : Dr Receivable Cr P&L
    Cash: Dr Cash Cr Receivable

    when it is in advance we write debit and credit

    debit receivable-887
    credit finance income-887

    debit cash-5000
    credit receivable-5000

    when it is arrears then

    debit cash-5000
    credit receivable-4113
    credit finance income-887

    lessee side in arrears

    debit lease liability-4113
    debit interest cost-887
    credit cash-5000

    in arrears method we usually deduct finance cost or income from cash but in advance it is not the same i mean I can not give the double entry for the in advabnce method in the below

    lessee side in arrears

    debit lease liability-4113
    debit interest cost-887
    credit cash-5000

    lessor side in arrears

    debit cash-5000
    credit receivable-4113
    credit finance income-887

    If payments are in advance the cash journal comes before the finance cost journal.

    Remember that you should not use journals in the exam to explain concepts – you have to use sentences.

    Dear Tutor, for calculation of the in advance and in arrears there is no problem.

    In arrears

    there is a chance of dividing cash into interest income and receivable from lessor side likewise interest expense and lease liabillity from lessee side example

    when it is arrears then

    debit cash-5000
    credit receivable-4113
    credit finance income-887

    lessee side in arrears

    debit lease liability-4113
    debit interest cost-887
    credit cash-5000

    in advance method you can not do that i think.

    If you start to do this you will confuse the examiner and everyone else.

    Please keep it simple as in the real exam.
