$665,895

B.

$709,190

C.

$724,190

D.

How to approach this question

Use an amortized cost table. Opening Balance + Interest (at implicit rate) - Cash Payment = Closing Balance.

Full Answer

B.$709,190✓ Correct
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. 1. Opening liability (1 Jan 20X5) = $865,895. 2. Interest expense for the year = $865,895 x 5% = $43,295. 3. Less: Cash payment made in arrears = ($200,000). 4. Closing liability (31 Dec 20X5) = $865,895 + $43,295 - $200,000 = $709,190.

Common mistakes

Including the initial direct costs ($15,000) in the lease liability. Initial direct costs only affect the ROU asset, not the liability.
