Step by step solution

01

Meaning of Sales-type lease

In a sales-type lease, the lessor is assumed to be selling a product to the lessee, which necessitates the reporting of a profit or loss on the sale. As a result, at the lease's start date, the following accounting is applied: (a) Recognize assets. (b)Recognize net investment.

02

Explaining the nature of the lease for both lessee and the lessor

Jensen has a capital lease since the lease period exceeds 75% of the economic life of the leased asset. The lease period is 78 percent (7÷9)of the economic life of the asset.

This is a capital lease to Glaus because the lease payments are generally predictable, there are no significant uncertainties regarding the lessor's future expenses, and the lease period exceeds 75 percent of the asset's economic life. The lease is a sales-type lease since the market value of the equipment ($700,000) exceeds the lessor's cost ($525,000).
