• Operating Lease: An operating lease is basically a
rental agreement. The lessee records rent
expense for each of the lease payments.

agreement in form, but the substance of the
transaction is an asset purchase. With capital
leases, the lessee records and asset and related
liability rather than rental expense. The lessee
also record depreciation on the asset.

of the hire purchase contract.
