Leasing & Hire Purchase Commitments:
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful economic lives. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors, net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit & loss account so as to produce constant periodic rates of charge on the net obligations outstanding in each period.
