    Hi I am currently studying lease accounting and I came across a problem with the last year of the lease term for the operating Lease

    Assuming that :
    1. The Lease Period is 5 years beginning January 2019
    2. Rental Amount : 60,000/year payable annually except for the first payment which was made at the inception of the lease
    3. No Residual Life
    Interest Rate (r) : 10%
    Present Value of the Lease 250,192

    The Journal Entries were as following:
    2019.1.1
    Right of Use Asset 250,192
    Lease Payable 250,192

    Lease Payable 60,000
    Cash 60,000

    2019.12.31
    Interest Expense 19,019
    Lease Payable 40,981
    Cash 60,000

    Amortization Expense 40,981
    Right of Use Asset 40,981

    2020 12.31
    Interest Expense 14,921
    Lease Payable 45,079
    Cash 60,000

    Amortization Expense 45,079
    Right of Use Asset 45,079

    2021 12.31
    Interest Expense 10,413
    Lease Payable 49,587
    Cash 60,000

    Amortization Expense 49,587
    Right of Use Asset 49,587

    2022 12.31
    Interest Expense 5454.5
    Lease Payable 54545.5
    Cash 60,000

    Amortization Expense 54545.5
    Right of Use Asset 54545.5

    Question :
    At the last year (2023), should the journal entry be

    Amortization Expense 60,000
    Right of Use Asset 60,000

    To take into account of the amortization expense that was not accounted for in the first year?
