Sale and lease back

Jjingdong3y ago
On 1 January 20X1, Mosaic sells an item of machinery to Ceramic for $2.8 million. Its fair value was $3 million. The asset had a carrying amount of $1.2 million prior to the sale. Mosaic enters into a contract with Ceramic for the right to use the asset for the next five years. Annual payments of $500,000 are due at the end of each year. The interest rate implicit in the lease is 10%. The present value of the annual lease payments is $1.9 million. Required: Explain how the transaction will be accounted for on 1 January 20X1 by both Mosaic and Ceramic My question is that how to deal with FV $3 and Proceeds $2.8 in the double entry. my solution is like this: DR: Prepayment (followed text book idea) 0.2 Dr: Bank 2.8 Dr: right of use of assets 0.76 Cr: PPE 1.2 Cr: P/L 0.66 Cr: Lease Liability 1.9 Retained 1.9/3.00x1.2=0.76. how to deal with Dr: prepayment 0.2, it may do adjustment: Dr: lease liability (or right of use asset?) 0.2; Cr: Prepayment 0.2 in the next period?

Never been asked this before! I think Dr Lease liability Cr Prepayment over term of lease. I'm so glad that we don't get complicated numbers (like yours :) ) in the exam :)

Thanks, the Lease liability 1.9 with accumulated interest 10% deducts 5 years payment 5x500,000, in the end the lease liability will be nill. However if Dr Lease liability 0.2; Cr Prepayment 0.2, in the end lease liability will be Debit side balance 0.2, how to deal with it? Many thanks

I think you would use an IRR that would reduce the liability to 2. So not 10%. I can't find any examples anywhere. :)
