Leased Equipment A/c | $ 2,26,992 |
For understanding, In the above entry:
Lease receivable has been debited by NPV of the lease receipts (which are already given net of initial receipts of $50,000) - this shows the Net Present Value of total lease rental receivable from the New Ltd. during the tenure of the lease and it will be shown on the assets side of the Lessor's balance.
Cash or Bank A/c has been debited because of the receipt of the advance leased rental at the initiation of the lease.
Leased Equipment A/c has been credited with the complete amount of the lease rental (Initial + NPV) - this is either shown as a reduction of an asset block or as a separate liability in the balance sheet.
