(paragraphs 23-25)

BC147 The IASB decided that a lessee should measure the right-of-use asset at cost, defined as:

(a) the present value of the lease payments;

(b) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee (see paragraphs BC149-BC151); and

(c) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.
