You have a lease agreement with a total lease amount of ₹18,00,000 for 3 years, with mutually agreed payment terms of ₹6 Lacs per year. You're wondering how to treat these transactions in your accounting records. Here's a suggested approach: 1. *Lease Payments*: - Treat the lease payments (₹6 Lacs per year) as *Rent Expenses* in your Profit & Loss Account (Income Statement). - Record the payments as they are made, using the following entry: - Debit: Rent Expenses (₹6,00,000) - Credit: Bank/Cash (₹6,00,000) 2. *Building Repair Items*: - Treat the purchase of building repair items as *Revenue Expenditure*. - Record the purchase as an expense in your Profit & Loss Account (Income Statement). - Use the following entry: - Debit: Repairs & Maintenance Expenses (₹XXXX) - Credit: Bank/Cash (₹XXXX) 3. *Capital Items*: - Treat the purchase of capital items for the building as *Capital Expenditure*. - Record the purchase as an asset in your Balance Sheet. - Use the following entry: - Debit: Assets (₹XXXX) - Credit: Bank/Cash !
