Finance lease:
• Transfer of ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term
• The lessee has the option to purchase the asset at end of the lease term and pricing means this is
reasonably certain to be exercised
• The lease term is for the major part of the asset's useful life
• At the start of the lease the present value of minimum lease payments is substantially all of the fair value
of the asset
• The asset is so specialised that only the lessee can use it without major modification
Example
Roost Co leases plant and machinery to manufacturing companies. It has a year-end of 30 September. On 1
June 20X8 it leased a machine to a customer for a 6 year period. The agreed lease payments were $400 per
calendar month payable in arrears. In addition, the customer was required to pay an initial non-refundable
amount of $1,200.
