At the commencement of the lease, Tucker should debit
-Debit Lease payable for $100,000
-credit Cash $100,000
Explanation:
The leasing start date is really the date on which land is transferred from the property owner to the occupant. On that day, even the date indicated on the rent is older than the "beginning date," the renter will begin reporting straight-line expenses.
The original date listed on the lease contract does not affect the lease starting date, as does the act ASC 840 and perhaps even the new lease accounting standards.
In this situation, Tucker would pay $100,000 for debit lease and $100,000 for credit currency.
