On 1 April 2019 Murgese Ltd signed a lease for a new head office building. The
lease is for three years and lease payments are £15,000 paid annually in arrears.

As an incentive to enter into the lease, Murgese Ltd received £2,500 from the
lessor on 1 April 2019. The only accounting entries made were to credit cash with
the net £12,500 payment (£15,000 less the incentive), credit revenue with the
£2,500 incentive and debit operating expenses with £15,000. The interest rate
implicit in the lease is 7% pa.

buildings on a straight-line basis. The land on which the factory was built

formal commencement of the lease was 1 October 2009, and the rent is a
nominal sum of £1 per year. The fair value of the leasehold interest in this
land was £400,000 on 1 October 2009.

presentation exists, explain and quantify the impact of the possible treatments on
the financial statements. (15 marks)
