The collectability of the lease payments is probable by the lessor. The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term. The straight-line depreciation method is used for all equipment. The following amortization schedule has been prepared correctly for use by both the lessor and the lessee in accounting for this lease. The lease is to be accounted for properly as a finance lease by the lessee and as a sales-type lease by the lessor.
