    Section B - Case 1

    *AeroStream is a commercial airline. On 1 January 20X5, AeroStream entered into a contract with a corporate client to provide 10 specific charter flights during the year for a total fixed price of $50,000. As part of the contract, AeroStream also granted the client 50,000 loyalty points, which can be redeemed for future flights. The standalone selling price of one charter flight is $5,500. The standalone selling price of one loyalty point is estimated at $0.10.

    Also on 1 January 20X5, AeroStream leased a new aircraft for 5 years. The lease requires annual payments of $200,000 in arrears. The implicit interest rate in the lease is 5%. The present value of the lease payments is $865,895. AeroStream incurred initial direct costs of $15,000 to negotiate the lease.*

    Question:
    What is the carrying amount of the lease liability in AeroStream's Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 20X5 (after the first payment is made)?

    Answer options:

    A.

    $665,895

    B.

    $709,190

    C.

    $724,190

    D.

    $800,000

    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.
