Finance lease accounting
Initial accounting
The initial accounting is that the lessee should capitalise the finance leased asset and set up a
lease liability for the value of the asset recognised. The accounting for this will be:
Dr Non-current assets
Cr Finance lease liability
(This should be done by using the lower of the fair value of the asset or the present value of the
minimum lease payments*.)
*Note: The present value of the minimum lease payments is essentially the lease payments over
the life of the lease discounted to present value - you will either be given this figure in the Paper
F7 exam or, if not, use the fair value of the asset. You will not be expected to calculate the
minimum lease payments.
