    A company purchased an a asset on 1.1.x1 for $100,000, with a life of 5 years. On 1.1.x3 they sell the asset to a lessor company for the fair value of $70,000 and lease it back for 2 years with annual lease payment of $20,000 and guranteed residual value of $15,000. The lease has a rate of return of 10%. The amount to be recognised as right of use asset is?

    May I know how to calculate the right of use asset for this question?

    Dr. Cash (Sale amount) 70,000
    Dr. Right of Use asset (Carrying value * % of right retained) 17,144
    Dr. Loss (Initial loss * % of right transferred) 7,857
    Cr. Non-Current Asset (Note 1) 80,000
    Cr. Lease Liability (PV of future payments – value provided in question) 15,000

    Note 1: Calculating the carrying value of the asset

    Value on 1/1/XXX1 100,000
    Less: Depreciation (Value of the asset on 1.1.XXX3/ Useful life of the asset) = 20,000
    Carrying value of the asset = 80,000
    Initial Loss = 10,000

    Note 2: Calculation of percentage of right retained & right transferred

    Present Value (already provided in question) = 15,000
    Sale Price = 70,000
    Percentage of Right Retained (PV/Sale Price*100) = 21.43
    Percentage of Right Transferred (100 – % of right retained) = 78.57

    Not true.

    Let me help you.

    A sale recognises cash of $70,000 and derecogises carrying amount of $60,000 (100,000 – 2 yrs depreciation: 1000,000 / 5 x 2)

    Then, a lease recognises lease liability as PV of future lease payments:
    20,000/1.1 + (20,000+15,000)/1.1² = 47,107

    For ROUA, take a proportion of rights retained as
    Carrying amount of asset x
    [Lease liability / Sale at FV]
    = 60,000 × [47,107 / 70,000]
    = 40,378

    DR Cash. 70,000
    DR Right-of-use asset (ROUA) 40,378
    CR Carrying amount of asset. 60,000
    CR Lease liability 47,107
    CR Gain (SOPL)(Bal. figure) 3,271
