Requirement 1: Classification under ASC 840
The lease would be a capital lease because the lease term of 5
years is 83% of the expected useful life. This meets the third lease
criteria of greater than or equal to 75% of the economic life. If the

The $1,332,565 is determined by multiplying the lease payment by
the PVOA factor for five years and 7%. Specifically, we make the
following calculation:
$325,000 × 4.10020 = $1,332,565

For an operating lease under ASU 2016-02, asset
amortization equals the difference between rent expense
(based on dividing total lease payments divided by the
number of payments) and interest expense on the obligation.
The accounting for the obligation follows the normal
approach for amortizing a loan or lease. The Lease obligation
Although amortization and interest expense comprise total
lease expense, the depreciation and interest expense are not
handled separately in the income statement or on the

The lessor will recover $100,000 because the machine will have
