Lease
Lease is a contractual agreement whereby the right to use an asset for a particular period of time is provided by the owner of the asset to the user of the asset. The owner, who possesses the asset, is termed as ‘Lessor’ and user, to whom the right is transferred to, is termed as ‘Lessee’.
Capital lease:
This type of lease is a situation whereby the lessor (owner) transfers the ownership of leased asset to the lessee (user) on the maturity period of terms of lease. This is non cancellable in nature and it extends to long term and can also be capitalized.
Sale-Leaseback approach:
In the sale-leaseback approach, the owner of the leased asset sells it and immediately leases it back from the new owner. In this transaction, seller (lessee) receives cash from the sale of the asset and also pays periodic rent payments to the buyer (Lessor) to retain the use of asset.
