    May I ask how to duel with the rent free period prior the commencement of lease term? for example, rental for 3 years starting from 1.1.2020, and there is 1 month rent free provided from 1.12.2019 to 31.12.2019

    If you want to ask directly from the tutor, kindly start a thread in Ask the tutor Forum. This forum is for students to help each other.

    I believe the rent free period should be treated as incentive. The lease rentals would have included the cost of providing this service as well. The fair value of this incentive should be deduced from the ‘Right to use” asset as it a separate item provided by lessor.

    in case of lessee with exception rule

    you have to divide total rent due with total period

    eg 5 year lease 1000 per year and first year is free.
    from lessee point of view

    so total is 4*1000=4000/5= 800

    first year entry

    Dr profit and loss 800
    Cr accrued income 800

    Year 2

    Dr p n L 800
    Dr accrued income 200
    Cr cash 1000

    so at the end of year 5 accrued income balance will be nil.

    in case of non exception

    you treat it as an incentive and calculate present value of minimum lease payment by considering discount rate from AF0-4

    lets suppose Implicit rate of interest is 5 percent then

    n=4
    r= .05

    1-(1+r)^-n/r=3.546*1000

    3546 PV of min lease payments

    Dr right of use 3546
    Cr Lease liability 3546

    subsequently at amortized cost

    I hope that will help .

    this is not reimbursement so we cannot deduct from right of assets. it reduces our liability towards payment.
