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

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
