How to approach this question

Identify the two expenses related to an IFRS 16 lease: Depreciation of the ROU asset and Interest on the lease liability. Calculate both and sum them.

Full Answer

C.$219,474✓ Correct
Under IFRS 16, a lessee recognizes two expenses in P&L: 1. Depreciation of the ROU asset: $880,895 / 5 years = $176,179. 2. Interest expense on the lease liability: $865,895 x 5% = $43,295. Total charge to P&L = $176,179 + $43,295 = $219,474.

Common mistakes

Just expensing the $200,000 cash payment, or forgetting to include the initial direct costs in the depreciation calculation.
