Quick Summary
This discussion provides journal entries for finance leases under AS-19, covering both the lessor and lessee perspectives. It details how assets, liabilities, depreciation, and lease payments are recorded. The entries are refined to include accruals for interest, addressing initial oversights and clarifying the treatment for both existing and new finance leases.

Lessee: 

RTU Asset a/c

To Current liability

To Non Current liability

(Asset recognised at cost equivalent to payments of principle and interest)

Depreciation a/c

To Fixed Asset a/c

(depreciation of asset)

Maintenance, Lease payments a/c

To Current liabilities a/c

(maintenance costs expenses incurred)

Current Liability a/c

To cash a/c

(Lease payments met for current period)

Lessor:

Depreciation a/c

To Lease Asset a/c

(depreciation charged)

Total Rental receivable a/c

To Total Lease Income a/c

(recognising Lease accruals)

Cash a/c

To Rental receivables a/c

(when Lease instalments are met)

The above treatment in the books of the Lessor was for existing finance lease. For new finance lease, it is like below:

 

Lessor: Finance Lease

Lease receivables a/c

To Lease Asset a/c

(Asset derecognised)

Lease receivables a/c

Direct costs a/c

To Total Lease Income a/c

(recognising Lease accruals, direct costs included in investment)

Cash a/c

To Lease receivables a/c

(when Lease instalments are met)

 

Here, I have recognised the whole rental income based on accruals concept and not on revenue recognition model neither in instalments.

U have not considered the interest payables by lessee and receivable by the lessor.

the entries relating to interest needs to be accrued and paid / received.

 

Actually, I was learning the new standard at that point of time. I will update this soon. This leases are inadequate to learn even today. Thank you for raising a concern 

Okay 

 

On a second thought, I think I have put it into current and non current liabilities. The standard does not suggest that. But lease payments are annual, so I put principal and interest into current liabilities for this year’s payables. I missed interest in lessor. Thanks once again, I have to borrow a text book as this and construction contracts is outdated in my text book. Nice day.
