catches up as the lease progresses.

6. Lease liability is calculated using all the lease payments not paid at the commencement date discounted
by the interest rate implicit in the lease or incremental borrowing rate. The right of use asset is calculated
using the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any lease payments made to the lessor before the lease
commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, minus any lease incentives received. The lease
liability is part of the computation, and in fact the starting point in the computation of right of use asset.

the current year books are closed-no entry is necessary if the error has already counterbalanced. If the
error has not counterbalanced then an entry must be made to retained earnings then, If the books are not
closed for the current year, the company is in the second year, and the error hasn’t already
counterbalanced then it is necessary to correct the current period and adjusted beginning retained
earnings. While, Non-counterbalancing errors are those that will not be automatically offset in the next
accounting period. It makes no difference whether the books are closed or still open, a correcting journal
entry is necessary.
