Detailed Solution & Explanation

Under AS 19 (Leases) - Sale and Leaseback Transactions:
1. If a sale and leaseback transaction results in an operating lease and is established at fair value, any profit or loss should be recognized immediately.
2. The sale price is 75\displaystyle `\,75 lakhs which equals the fair value of 75\displaystyle `\,75 lakhs.
3. WDV is 60\displaystyle `\,60 lakhs. Profit on sale is 7560=15\displaystyle 75 - 60 = `\,15 lakhs.
4. Since the transaction is at fair value, the entire profit of 15\displaystyle `\,15 lakhs must be recognized immediately in the books of X Ltd.
