Chapter 25, Problem 20PS

Lease treatment in bankruptcy How does the position of an equipment lessor differ from the position of a secured lender when a firm falls into bankruptcy? Assume that the secured loan would have the leased equipment as collateral. Which is better protected, the lease or the loan? Does your answer depend on the value of the leased equipment if it were sold or re-leased?

Differentiate between an operating lease, acapital (or financial) lease, and a sale andleaseback arrangement. How would the pastaccounting treatment of leases mislead investorsand what rules have been put in place to mitigatethis problem?
One of the following statements is false:      a. If the underlying asset will not revert to the lessor, the residual value is simply ignored by the lessor in the computation of unearned interest income and gross profit on the sale.       b. The underlying asset will remain with the lessee if the lease provides for either a purchase option that is reasonably to be exercised or transfer of title to the lessee upon the lease expiration.       c. When a lessor actually sells an asset that it has been leasing, the difference between the sales price and the carrying amount of the lease receivable is recognized in profit or loss.       d. The gain or loss that pertains to the right retained by the seller-lessee in a sales and leaseback transaction is not recognized.
Assume a lessee leases equipment and insists on terms that qualify it as an operating lease, barely escaping the qualification as a capital lease. Discuss the impact that such an operating lease has on financial statements and related financial information as compared to the effect that a capital lease would have.
