    Hello Chris,
    I was doing one example for low value asset from Kaplan P-185. Solution is also provided there but for one year only. I have tried to do next two year with journal as well. Would you please let me know if my entry is correct if not please let me what would be the correct treatment.
    Thanks.

    Example- On 1 April 20X6 Taggart acquires telephones for its sales force under a two-year lease agreement. The terms of the lease require an initial payment of $2,000, followed by two payments of $8,000 each on 31 March 20X7 and 31 March 20X8.

    Required- Show the impact of this lease arrangement on the financial statements of Taggart for the year ended 31 December 20X6.

    Solution-
    Annual Lease rental= (Total Rental Payable/ Total Lease Period)
    =($2,000+$8,000+$8,000) / 2 = $9,000 per Annum

    Expense to 31 December 20X6 = $9,000 × 9/12 = $6,750

    Double Entry-
    Year 20X6
    Dr Statement of Profit and Loss (Expense Increase) $6,750
    Cr Accruals $4,750
    Cr Bank $2,000

    Year 20X7
    Dr Statement of Profit and Loss (Expense Increase) $9,000
    Dr Accruals $4,750
    Cr Accruals $5,750
    Cr Bank $8,000

    Year 20X8
    Dr Statement of Profit and Loss (Expense Increase) $2,750
    Dr Accruals $5,750
    Cr Bank $8,000

    Financial statements extract:
    Statement of Profit or Loss for the year ended 31 December
    Lease rental Expense
    20X6 ($6,750)
    20X7 ($9,000)
    20X8 ($2,250)

    Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December
    Current Liabilities- Accrual
    20X6 $4,750
    20X7 $5,750
    20X8 Nil

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Yes, I’ve had a look through and it looks correct. I’d just not post the two entries to accruals and just net them off as one entry.

    Thanks
