- Determining Type of Lease and Subsequent Accounting On January 1, 2019, Caswell Company signs a 10-year cancelable (at the option of either party) agreement to lease a storage building from Wake Company.

The cost and fair value of the building on January 1, 2019, is 2 million. The storage building has not been specialized for Caswell. 3.

The lease does not contain a renewable option clause. At the termination of the lease, the building reverts to the lessor. 5. Caswells incremental borrowing rate is 14% per year. Wake set the annual rental to ensure a 16% rate of return (the loss in service value anticipated for the term of the lease). Caswell knows the implicit interest rate. 6.
