Analysis of Operating Leases
Difficulty: Advanced
An operating lease is treated like a rental contract. Neither the leased asset nor the associated liability is reported on the lessee statement of financial position, but the rights may be very similar to the rights of an owner. The lessee only records the lease payments as a rental expense in income statement.
