Salaur Company, a risky start-up, is evaluating a
lease arrangement being offered by TSP Company for use of a
standard computer system. The lease is non-cancelable, and in no
case does Salaur receive title to the computers during or at the
end of the lease term. TSP will lease the returned computers to
other customers. The lease starts on January 1, 2020, with the
first rental payment due on January 1, 2020. Additional information
related to the lease and the underlying leased asset is as
follows:
