Question on Sale and Leaseback - Example 7

TTim1y ago
Dear Sir, In the answer for Example 7 part i) where in substance no sale has taken place and we initially recognise a Financial Liability amount equal to the sales proceeds of $10m, what about the interest component in the subsequent measurements? Lease term is for 10 years and lease payment is $1M per annum, by using amortised cost accounting, by the end of the 10 years the Financial Liability would not be Nil due to interest. Thanks in advance for your guidance.

I take your point. :). The learning point is that the PPE is not derecognised. But I need to change the wording in the question slightly. I'll do it when the lecture is next re-recorded. Thank you for feeding this back.
