    Lessor Corp leases a machine to Lessee Inc. <br/>- Lease term: 4 years<br/>- Asset economic life: 10 years<br/>- PV of lease payments: $85,000<br/>- Asset Fair Value: $100,000<br/>- No transfer of ownership or purchase option.<br/>- The asset is not specialized.<br/><br/>How should Lessor Corp classify this lease?

    Sales-Type Lease

    B.

    Operating Lease

    C.

    Direct Financing Lease

    D.

    Finance Lease

    How to approach this question

    Check the 5 criteria (OWNES): Ownership? Written option? Net PV > 90%? Economic life > 75%? Specialized? If none -> Operating (or Direct Financing if risk is low).

    Full Answer

    B.Operating Lease✓ Correct
    B
    4/10 years = 40% (<75%). $85k/$100k = 85% (<90%). No ownership transfer or purchase option. Not specialized. Therefore, Operating Lease.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing Lessee terms (Finance) with Lessor terms (Sales-Type); miscalculating the percentages.
