FRTreatment of lease premium

Oolanrewaju11y ago
Dear Mr Mike, The June 2015 exam tested lease premium on operating leases. The question goes thus "The operating lease payments represent an annual payment (in advance) of $1 million and a lease premium of $1 million. The lease is for 4 years" How do we treat this? Do we take the whole $2M to Profit or loss? Or do we time-apportion the lease premium and take $250,000 to profit or loss and then treat $750,000 as prepayments in the SOFP?
