Explanation of Solution

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’.

Operating leases: In an operating lease lessor retains all ownership risks and responsibilities.

Capital leases: In capital lease all the ownership risks and responsibilities are transferred from the lessor to the lessee.

The criteria for defining the lease as capital lease or operating lease:

As per the notes issued by Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB), the following are four criteria to determine is a lease is a capital lease or an operating lease:

  1. 1. Transfer of ownership: The asset is transferred to lessee at the end of the lease period concerned.
  2. 2. Purchase (bargain) option: The purchase option is exercisable when the purchase price is sufficiently lower than expected fair value.
  3. 3. Economic life: The economic life of the lease period is 75% or more than the useful life of the asset.
  4. 4. Value recovery: Present value of lease payments is greater or equal to 90% of the fair value.
