Transaction on December 31, 2018: Record lease payments and interest expense
- Interest expense decreases
stockholders’ equity. Therefore, debit interest expense by $821. - Lease payable is a liability. There is a decrease in liability. Therefore, debit lease liability by $6,179.
- Cash is an asset. There is a decrease in asset. Therefore, credit cash account by $7,000.
Transaction on December 31, 2018: Record amortization expense
- Amortization expense decreases stockholders’ equity. Therefore, debit amortization expense by $5,179.
- Right-of-use asset is an asset. There is a decrease in asset. Therefore, credit right-of-use asset by $5,179.
In case of operating lease, the lessee would record interest expense and then “plug” the right-of-use asset amortization at the amount which is needed to make the total interest plus amortization amount equal to straight line lease payments made. A single lease expense would be recorded in the income statement of the lessee.
