Solution

To calculate the current liability for finance lease obligation at 31 March 2017, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the total lease obligation at the inception of the lease. This is the sum of the present value of all lease payments. The upfront payment of N10,000isalreadyinpresentvalueterms.ThethreeannualpaymentsofN10,000 is already in present value terms. The three annual payments of N12,063.45 need to be discounted back to their present value using the implicit interest rate of 10%.

  2. The present value of the lease payments can be calculated using the formula for the present value of an ordinary annuity: PV = PMT * [(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r], where PMT is the periodic payment, r is the interest rate per period, and n is the number of periods. In this case, PMT = N$12,063.45, r = 10% per annum, and n = 3 years.

  3. Subtract the upfront payment from the total lease obligation to find the lease liability at the inception of the lease.

  4. The lease liability at 31 March 2017 is the lease liability at the inception of the lease, minus the lease payment made on that date.

Let's calculate:

  1. PV = N12,063.45[(1(1+0.10)3)/0.10]=N12,063.45 * [(1 - (1 + 0.10)^-3) / 0.10] = N30,936.55
  2. Total lease obligation = N10,000+N10,000 + N30,936.55 = N$40,936.55
  3. Lease liability at inception = N40,936.55N40,936.55 - N10,000 = N$30,936.55
  4. Lease liability at 31 March 2017 = N30,936.55N30,936.55 - N12,063.45 = N$18,873.10

However, this amount is not listed in the options. It's possible that the question is asking for the portion of the lease liability that is due within one year of 31 March 2017. This would be the next lease payment of N$12,063.45, which is option b.
