Sale & Leaseback (Finance Lease)

HHUYEN9y ago
Hi Mike, I have a query on sale and leaseback. In case the excess of proceeds over CV, it has a deferred profit and amortised over term. I wonder why it created a deferred profit and must to amortised? We couldn't recognised once in I/S in period that It sales? Pls explain it for me, Thank you very much.

The entry of this case is : DR Cash(proceeds) / CR asset (CV) and CR deferred income. What is entry to amotised deferred income each year? For example, if we sale asset with 200$ and it has CV 150$ and lease back with 5 yrs. The entry is : Dr cash 200/ Cr asset 150 and Cr deferred income 50 Each year we allocated deferred income by : Dr Deferred income 10/ CR RE 10. Am I right?

No - sadly! The double entry is Dr Cash with the sale proceeds $200 Cr Obligations under finance lease $200 OK?

I don't understand this entry. How about the sale of asset and deferred profit?

If it's a sale and leaseback under a finance lease (as the topic title suggests) then it's not really a sale so the entry is very simply .... Dr Cash Cr Obligations
