- Answer True or False Initial direct costs are immediately recognized as an expense by the lessor when the cost incurred in conjunction with an operating lease. Both finance and operating leases are subject to capitalization. Under an operating lease, the lease bonus paid by the lessee to the lessor and amortized over the lease term as a reduction to lease income.

- There are two parties in any lease contract—the lessee and the lessor. To a lessor, a lease analysis involves a capital budgeting analysis of the property or equipment to be leased. The lessor’s decision is either to purchase and lease-out the asset, or not make the investment at all. Like any capital budgeting decision, the lessor needs to evaluate the rate of return expected to be earned from making the lease. Further, since the cost and other terms of leases involving high-cost items are negotiated, this rate of return information is also important information for a prospective lessee. From the following statements, identify the steps involved in lease analysis from a lessor’s perspective. Check all that apply. Determine the lease payments minus income taxes and any maintenance expenses that the lessor must incur as per the lease agreement. Determine the invoice price of the leased equipment minus any lease payments made in advance.

- Which of the following statements is false regarding the accounting for leases? The lessor may not use the straight-line basis for recognizing lease income under an operating lease if another systematic basis is more representative of the pattern in which benefit from the use of the underlying asset is diminished. The amount of lease income recognized each year by the lessor under an operating lease is typically constant even though the contractual payments increase every year by a certain amount specified in the contract. A lessor includes initial direct costs incurred on the operating lease as part of the cost of the leased asset, and initial direct costs are to be recognized in profit or loss on the same basis as rent income is recognized. A lessor includes a rent collected in advance as part of the cost of the leased asset.arrow_forwardCompared to using a fi nance lease, a lessee that makes use of an operating lease will mostlikely report higher:A . debt.B . rent expense.C . cash fl ow from operating activity.arrow_forwardWhen both the gross investment and cost of the leased asset is equal for both direct and sales-type finance lease with the sales-type finance lease resulting to a gross profit, which of the two would have a lower implicit interest rate on the lease?
