Question: Identify the lease classifications for lessors and the criteria that must be met for each classification. Answer From the standpoint of the lessor, leases may be classified for accounting purposes as (a) operating leases, (b) direct-financing leases, and (c) sales-type leases. Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: 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. Step 2: Explaining the lease classifications for lessors and the criteria that must be met for each classification. A capital lease fits one or more of the following four characteristics from the perspective of the lessor: 1. Ownership is transferred through the lease. 2. There is a bargain-purchase option in the lease. 3. The lease period is equal to or exceeds 75% of the property's expected economic life, and 4. The present value of the minimum lease payments (excluding executory expenses) is equal to or surpasses 90% of the property's fair value. And meet both of the following criteria: 1. The lessee's ability to pay is relatively foreseeable, and 2. There are no significant uncertainties regarding the amount of un-reimbursable expenditures yet to be spent by the lessor. Direct-financing and sales-type capital leases are the two types of capital leases. Operating leases are all the rest. The existence or absence of a manufacturer's or dealer's profit or loss is what distinguishes a direct-financing lease from a sales-type lease for the lessor.
