Do not discuss the specific criteria for classifying aspecific lease as a capital lease.The theoretical basis of the accounting standard that requires certain long-term leases to becapitalized by the lessee is based on the risks and the benefits associated with the assets, whichare borne by the lessee.“The conceptual foundation underlyingSFAS No. 13is based on the view that ‘a lease thattransfers substantially all of the benefits and risks inherent in the ownership of propertyshould be accounted for as the acquisition of an asset and the incurrence of an obligation bythe lessee and as a sale or financing lease by the lessor’”(Schroeder, Clark, &Cathey,2005,p.418).b.How should Lani account for this lease at its inception and determine the amount to berecorded?Lani Company should account for this lease as a capital lease at its inception. In addition,Lani Company should record the amount equal to present value of the minimum lease payment.The rate is the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate or the lessor’s implicit rate. “Once theminimum lease payments or fair market value is determined, the next step is to compute thepresent value of the lease payments. The interest rate to be used in this computation is generallythe lessee’s incremental borrowing rate”(Schroeder, Clark, & Cathey,2005,p.423).
