In context of Accounting Standard 19 "Leases" explain the accounting treatment of profit or loss in the books of A Ltd. if (i) Sale price of 24 lakhs is equal to fair value. (ii) Fair value is 20 lakhs and sale price is 24 lakhs. (iii) Fair value is 22 lakhs and sale price is 25 lakhs. (iv) Fair value is 25 lakhs and sale price is 18 lakhs. (v) Fair value is 18 lakhs and sale price is 19 lakhs.
Suggested Answer and Working Notes:
Following will be the treatment in the given cases: (i) When sale price of 24lakhs is equal to fair value, A Ltd. should immediately recognise the profit of 4lakhs (i.e. 24 - 20) in its books. (ii) When fair value is 20lakhs & sale price is 24lakhs then profit of 4lakhs is to be deferred and amortised over the lease period. (iii) When fair value is 22lakhs & sale price is 25lakhs, profit of 2lakhs (22 - 20) to be immediately recognised in its books and balance profit of 3lakhs (25-22) is to be amortised/deferred over lease period. (iv) When fair value of leased machinery is 25lakhs & sale price is 18lakhs, then loss of 2lakhs (20 – 18) to be immediately recognised by A Ltd. in its books provided loss is not compensated by future lease payment. (v) When fair value is 18lakhs & sale price is 19lakhs, then the loss of 2lakhs (20-18) to be immediately recognised by A Ltd. in its books and profit of 1lakhs (19-18) should be amortised/deferred over lease period.
