Case tasks documented here
  • Calculate the 20X1 interest and the lease liability at 31 December 20X1.
  • Determine the depreciation period, the 20X1 depreciation charge and the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset at 31 December 20X1.

Inputs

Inputs
  • Lease and period analysed

    TextRequired

  • Lease liability at the beginning of the period

    NumberRequired

    267,109.34

  • Periodic discount rate (initial or revised rate)

    NumberRequired

    4 %

  • Interest for the period (periodic rate × outstanding balance)

    NumberRequired

    10,684.37

    Interest produces a constant periodic rate on the remaining balance (para. 37). With payments in advance, the interest-bearing balance is the one remaining after the payment at the beginning of the period.

  • Lease payments made during the period (included in the lease liability)

    NumberRequired

    60,000

  • Closing lease liability per the ledger

    NumberRequired

    217,793.71

  • Part of the closing lease liability repaid within twelve months (schedule)

    Number

    The current / non-current split is governed by IAS 1; it is not set by IFRS 16 and is not part of the entries of this workpaper.

  • Variable payments not included in the lease liability (expense for the period)

    Number

  • Cost of the right-of-use asset (adjusted for remeasurements of the lease liability)

    NumberRequired

    271,609.34

  • Residual value retained for the right-of-use asset (0 in general)

    NumberRequired

    0

  • Transfer of ownership or purchase option reflected in the cost

    ChoiceRequired

    No: to the earlier of the end of the useful life and the end of the lease term

    Yes: depreciation over the useful life of the underlying asset / No: to the earlier of the end of the useful life and the end of the lease term

  • Depreciation period retained (in years)

    NumberRequired

    5 years

  • Model and depreciation period

    ChecklistRequired

    • Cost model: cost less depreciation and impairment, adjusted for remeasurements of the liability
    • Depreciation under the requirements of IAS 16
    • Period: useful life if transfer or purchase option reflected, otherwise to the earlier of the end of the useful life and the end of the lease term
    • Indications of impairment examined under IAS 36
    • Investment property at fair value (IAS 40) or revaluation model of the class (IAS 16)

  • Movements in the lease liability

Lease liability and right-of-use asset schedules

Calculations

IFRS 16 §31IFRS 16 §32IFRS 16 §36IFRS 16 §37

  • Closing lease liability recalculated

    CalculationRequired

    217,793.71

    Lease liability at the beginning of the period ; Interest for the period (periodic rate × outstanding balance) ; − Lease payments made during the period (included in the lease liability) ; Closing lease liability per the ledger

  • Difference with the ledger (0 expected)

    CalculationRequired

    0

    Lease liability at the beginning of the period ; Interest for the period (periodic rate × outstanding balance) ; − Lease payments made during the period (included in the lease liability) ; Closing lease liability per the ledger

  • Interest recalculated (opening balance × periodic rate, payments in arrears)

    Calculation

    10,684.37

    Lease liability at the beginning of the period ; Periodic discount rate (initial or revised rate)

    Interest recalculated when payments are made in arrears: the interest-bearing balance is the opening balance. With payments in advance, the interest-bearing balance is the one remaining after the payment at the beginning of the period (para. 37): the difference flagged by the check is then explained by that payment and documented.

  • Annual depreciation of the right-of-use asset

    CalculationRequired

    54,321.87

    Cost of the right-of-use asset (adjusted for remeasurements of the lease liability) ; Residual value retained for the right-of-use asset (0 in general) ; Depreciation period retained (in years)
