Answer #1
  • Lease is an agreement between two party mainly called as lessor and lessee, in which lessee has a right to use the asset with the permission of lessor after payment of monthly rental in case of operating lease or minimum lease payment or lump sum payment in case of financing lease.
  • Leasing is helpful for new entity to meet out his initial investment requirement for capital expenditure like land, machinery etc. Therefore, with the help of leasing huge fund can be saved for working capital requirements and growth of business as a whole.  
  • There are two types of lease - (1) Operating Lease and (2) Financing Lease, In operating lease, only right to use of asset is transferred to lessee but no risk and rewards associated with assets are not transferred however in finance lease, risk and rewards also transferred to lessee along with assets and after lease term asset is sold out to lessee as well at a nominal price.
