CMA Final · Corporate Financial Reporting · Leases (Ind AS 116)

Kaveri Textiles leases a machine for 3 years, paying Rs 1,00,000 at the end of each year. The rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, so the incremental borrowing rate of 10% p.a. is used. The present value of an annuity of Re 1 for 3 years at 10% is 2.486852. Kaveri pays Rs 10,000 of initial direct costs. There are no lease incentives, prepaid payments or restoration obligations. At what amount is the right-of-use asset initially recognised?

The right-of-use asset is Rs 2,58,685. It equals the present value of the lease payments, Rs 2,48,685 at 10%, plus the Rs 10,000 initial direct costs. Payments are discounted, not taken at the undiscounted Rs 3,00,000, and the direct costs are added, not deducted.

Explanation

Lease liability = 1,00,000 x 2.486852 = Rs 2,48,685. The right-of-use asset is the lease liability plus initial direct costs: 2,48,685 + 10,000 = Rs 2,58,685. Rs 2,48,685 omits the initial direct costs. Rs 3,10,000 uses undiscounted payments. Rs 2,38,685 subtracts the costs instead of adding them.
