At the commencement of the lease, the right-of-use asset is calculated as follows:Initial measurement of lease liability + lease prepayments + initial direct costs + costs to dismantle/remove the asset or restore the site - lease incentives received from the lessor = right-of-use asset The right-of-use asset is then recorded on the lessee's statement of financial position and depreciated over the lease term.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
