    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:
    Assuming AeroStream depreciates the aircraft on a straight-line basis, what is the total charge to the Statement of Profit or Loss for the year ended 31 December 20X5 in respect of the lease?

    Answer options:

    A.

    $200,000

    B.

    $216,474

    C.

    $219,474

    D.

    $176,179

    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.
