In: Accounting
- The agreement specifies the ownership of the asset transfers to the Lesee
These are criteria of a lease
a. The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term.
b. The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the
underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to
exercise.
c. The lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic
life of the underlying asset. However, if the commencement date
falls at or near the end of the economic life of the underlying
asset, this criterion shall not be used for purposes of classifying
the lease.
d. The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any
residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already
reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all
of the fair value of the underlying asset.
e. The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is
expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the
lease term
