Dear Mike,
Below an example of BPP texbook but I am struggle to understand how to treat the accounting entry when we buy back the asset and the entry for deferred income/profit on disposal.
Could you please help. Sorry for long questions and confusion but I am completely lost with this topic.
Thanks and RegardsGabriella
Capital Co entered into a sale and finance lease on 1 April 20X7. It sold a lathe with a carrying amount of
$300,00 for $400,00 and leased it back over a five-year period, equivalent to its remaining useful life.
The finance lease provided for five annual payments in arrears of $90,000. The rate of interest implicit in
the lease is 5%.
Required
What are the amounts to be recognised in the financial statements at 31 March 20X8 in respect of this
transaction?

For example, you must understand the depreciation calculation!
October 21, 2016 at 12:17 pm #345363Dear Mike,
Sorry I should be more clear in posting the question.
I am confuse with the accounting entry when the asset is bought back.
From above I think when we lease back the asset the entry should be:
Dr: Asset 400.000 (for the amount we leased back)
Cr Profit on disposal 20.000 (in the year we leased back)
Cr Deferred income less than 1y 20.000
Cr Deferred income more than 1y 60.000
Cr ??? I am lost ?????I hope I was able to be a bit more clear now and once again thanks for the time used to answer all my questions.
Best Regards
Gabriella
October 21, 2016 at 12:52 pm #345368We never really got rid of the asset, did we?
So record the cash:
Dr Cash 400
Cr Lease liability 400Record the profit on the transaction:
Dr Asset 100
Cr Deferred income 100OK?
October 22, 2016 at 10:48 am #345562Well….now it is clear.
Really appreciate your help, thanks a lotBest Regards

July 30, 2017 at 9:32 am #399404We Debit the asset by 100 only to bring it to the cost of 400, right? Assuming it is the cost of purchase.
July 30, 2017 at 10:56 am #399436Well, according to the earlier posts, it IS the cost of purchase / lease-back
“It sold a lathe with a carrying amount of $300,00 for $400,00 and leased it back over a five-year period, equivalent to its remaining useful life.”
Yes, at the time of “sale” the asset had a carrying value of $300 and was bought back for $400 so we need that debit of $100
OK?
