From the previous bulleted discussion, assume that management now has a clear understanding of capital leases, but has been informed by colleagues that an operating lease may be more beneficial than an operating lease, since the useful life for the equipment is only eight (8) years. Compare and contrast a capital lease and an operating lease, and recommend to management what type of lease would be beneficial since the equipment will become obsolete in eight (8) years. Provide a rationale for your recommendation. Reply Quote
