Question

PT Lessor leased an equipment to PT Lessee on January 1, 2014, when the fair value of the equipment was Rp 134,581,500. The useful life of the equipment is estimated to be 9 years. The agreement, which resulted in an initial direct cost of Rp 2,185,000, requires an annual rental payment of Rp. 25 million paid every year for 6 years. Lessee guarantees a residual value of Rp 10,000,000. Meanwhile the residual value at the end of the useful life of the equipment is estimated at Rp 5,000,000. The interest rates used by PT Lessor are known by PT Lessee. Leases are recognized as finance leases.

Question:
If the depreciation method used is a straight-line method, the depreciation value recorded by PT Lessee at the end of the first year of the lease period is:
A. Rp. 19,096,916
B. Rp. 19,461,083
C. Rp. 20 763,583
D. Rp. 21,127,750

Answer 1

Formula for depreciation calculation as per straight line method =

Fair Value - Salvage Value / Useful Life

= 134,581,500 - 10,000,000 / 6

= RP 20,763,583 (C)

Here Useful life will be taken as 6 years only, because its a finance lease and useful life will be shorter of lease term or expected useful life

and the Expected salvage value will be RP 10,000,000 as guaranteed by PT Lessee
