The lessor may not use the straight-line basis for recognizing lease income under an operating lease if another systematic basis is more representative of the pattern in which benefit from the use of the underlying asset is diminished. The amount of lease income recognized each year by the lessor under an operating lease is typically constant even though the contractual payments increase every year by a certain amount specified in the contract. A lessor includes initial direct costs incurred on the operating lease as part of the cost of the leased asset, and initial direct costs are to be recognized in profit or loss on the same basis as rent income is recognized. A lessor includes a rent collected in advance as part of the cost of the leased asset.arrow_forward
