From the viewpoint of the lessee, there are two types of lease agreements: operating and capital. In an operating lease, the lessee acquires the right to use an asset for a limited period of time. The lessee is not required to record the right to use the property as an asset or to record the obligation for payments as a liability.
2. Assume that the lease is treated as a capital lease or finance lease.

a. Identify and analyze the effect when the lease is signed.

Capital leases give the lessee sufficient rights of ownership and control of the property, and are recorded as an asset and depreciated. The present value of the lease payments is recorded as an asset and liability and interest expense is recorded each period based on the remaining obligation times the effective interest rate.
Identify and analyze the transaction by using the following steps:
1. Determine activity – operating, investing or financing.
2. Determine accounts affected and the amount of increases/decreases.
3. Determine the financial statements affected – balance sheet, income statement.
The accounting equation must balance for each transaction.

Identify and analyze the transaction by using the following steps:
1. Determine activity – operating, investing or financing.
2. Determine accounts affected and the amount of increases/decreases.
3. Determine the financial statements affected – balance sheet, income statement.

Determine amortization using the effective interest method (see Exhibit 10-7 below for an example).

Column 1 is the total amount of the payment. To compute the interest expense, (column 2) multiply the lease obligation (column 4) by the interest rate. Column 3, the reduction of obligation is computed by subtracting Column 2 from column 1. Column 4 starts out as the present value of the lease obligation. This column is then reduced by the amount in column 3.
