    Revenue includes $50 million for an item of plant sold at fair value on 1 October
    20X2. The plant had a book value of $40 million at the date of its sale, which was
    charged to cost of sales. On the same date, Tourmalet entered into an agreement to
    lease back the plant for the next five years (being the estimated remaining life of the
    plant) at a cost of $14 million per annum payable annually in arrears. An
    arrangement of this type is deemed to have a financing cost of 12% per annum. No
    depreciation has been charged on the item of plant in the current year. :

    Ans
    Step 1: Correct incorrect treatment of disposal proceeds
    Asset already removed from trial balance figures so need to remove the
    incorrect entries from revenue/cost of sales and calculate the profit on
    disposal (to be spread over the five year lease term).
    $000 $000
    Dr Revenue 50,000
    Cr Cost of sales 40,000
    Cr Profit on disposal (1 year) 2,000
    Cr Deferred income (4 years) 8,000

    i am not able to understand the above treatment . its a sale and a finance leaseback.As per rule we have to derecognize the asset . But how ? cant the sale be recorded ?

    “As per rule we have to derecognize the asset ” …..NO!!!! Under a finance lease, the asset effectively remains ours!

    Imagine buying a new asset under finance lease … Dr Asset, Cr Obligation account

    So if we are to capitalise an asset acquired under finance lease, surely when we “sell” an asset and then take it back under finance lease, we’ simply leave the asset in our records

    Effectively (ignoring the profit made on the disposal) we simply Dr Cash and Cr the Obligation

    “cant the sale be recorded ?” – NO!! effectively, it’s not sold because an asset acquired under finance lease is treated as though it were our asset – we pretend (substance over form) that it is our asset

    OK?
