01

Meaning of Lease

In exchange for one or more payments, a lessor agrees to allow a lessee to have authority over the use of specific property, plant, and equipment for a specified length of time. Depending on whether an entity is a lessee or the lessor, there are different sorts of lease designations.

02

Explaining the nature of the lease in relation to the lessor

The lease is a sale-type lease because of the following condition:

1. the lease term is for 83 percent (10$÷$12) of the economic life of the leased asset,
2. the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeds 90 percent of the fair value of the leased property,
3. the collectability of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no uncertainties as to reimbursable costs yet to be incurred by the lessor, and
4. The lease provides the lessor with manufacturing capabilities.
