The lessee bears the risk of
obsolescence.
The lessor bears the risk of
obsolescence.
The lessor is interested in his rentals and
not in the asset. He must get his principal
back along with interest. Therefore, the
lease is non-cancellable by either party.
As the lessor does not have difficulty in
leasing the same asset to other willing
lessee, the lease is kept cancelable by
the lessor.
The lessor enters into the transaction only
as financier. He does not bear the cost of
repairs, maintenance or operations.
Usually, the lessor bears cost of repairs,
maintenance or operations.
The lease is usually full payout, that is,
the single lease repays the cost of the
asset together with the interest.
The lease is usually non-payout, since
the lessor expects to lease the same
asset over and over again to several
users.

■ The owner (Lessor) of the Asset(Equipment)
■ Transfers the possession / right to use the Asset (Equipment) to another/user
Lessee)
■ For an agreed period of time in return for rental.
■ At the end of the period –

18. Essential Elements of Leasing
Parties to a Lease Contract: Essentially two parties
■ Lessor – is the owner of the asset that is being Leased.
■ Lessee – is the receiver of the services of the asset under a Lease
contract.
■ Lessor and Lessee can be Individual or legally recognised party.
■ Lease broker – big ticket Leases use him.
■ Major Players in Lease Market:
– Banks- Indian & Foreign /FIs
– subsidiaries of Banks/FIs,
– NBFCs
19. Essential Elements of Leasing
■ Asset – Subject matter of Leasing contract; Automobiles, Plant &
Machinery, Equipments, Land & building, Factory, a running
business, aircraft, Ships, etc.
■ Ownership – remains with the Lessor
■ Use - of the asset is allowed to the Lessee.
■ Lease Term – Primary /secondary Lease Term.
■ Lease Rentals – is the consideration for the lease transaction. So
structured to recover the investment cost, during agreed period.
20. Classification of Lease
■ Finance Lease and Operating Lease
■ Sale & Lease back and Direct Lease
■ Single Investor Lease and Leveraged Lease
■ Domestic Lease and International Lease
21. Operating Lease
If under the lease agreement the lessor is
entitled to take back the possession of the
asset leased from the lessee – the arrangement
is considered as operating lease.
Operating lease is a genuine lease where
ownership for tax and accounting purpose
remains with the owner.
21
22. Under lease agreement lessor is required to maintain and
service the leased asset.
A common example is licensing agreement of flats in big
cities.
Under the agreement the landlord leases his (her) flat for
eleven months for monthly rental renewable at the
option of the landlord after the expiry of eleven months.
22
23. The landlord bears the cost of maintenance
and service (security, lift etc).
An important feature of operating lease is -
lease period is sufficiently less than the
economic life of the asset.
This means total lease rental recovered
based on the lease period is substantially less
than the cost of the asset.
23
24. Example
■ X Car rental Ltd., agrees to use Y Builders Ltd. – a luxury sedan car for Rs
25000/ - per month for 2 years to be used for showing the customers the flats
developed by the latter located at different places in Delhi ,NCR region.
■ X Car Rental is lessor and Y Builders Ltd is the lessee under the arrangement.
24
25. Example
■ Suppose in example above, the cost of the car given on lease by X rental is Rs
20 lacs. The economic life of the car is 8 years - implying that the car will
create cash flow for next 8 years. Now, from the lease rental for 2 years total
recovery will be Rs 600,000 (Rs 25000 X 12X 2). In 2 years’ lease cost of car
remains unrecovered. The economic life of the asset is far more so that the
cost can be recovered by further leasing or selling the car. Hence, this is an
example of operating lease.

26. Comparison between Financial Lease and Operating Lease

1 The risk and reward incident to
ownership are passed on to the

the legal owner of the asset
The lessee is only provided the use of

As the lessor does not have difficulty
in
leasing the same asset to other willing

5 The lease is usually full payout,
that is, the single lease repays

The lease is usually non-payout, since
the lessor expects to lease the same

26
27. Finance lease ( capital lease)
Under finance lease the lease rental is fixed in such
a manner that the lessor recovers the entire price of
the leased equipment plus a return on investment (
made for purchasing the equipment leased) within
the lease period through lease rent.
In such a situation the lessee normally retains the
possession of the equipment even after the lease
period is over as he pays the price of the
equipment.
27
28. Example
XYZ Ltd. requires an equipment
costing Rs 10,00,000; the same will
be utilized over a period of 5
years. It has two financing options
in this regard :
Arrangement of a loan of
Rs 10,00,000 at an interest rate of
13 percent per annum; the loan
being repayable in 5 equal year
end installments; the equipment
can be sold at the end of fifth year
for Rs 1,00,000.
Leasing the equipment for a period
of five years at an early rental of
Rs 3,30,000 payable at the year
end.
The rate of depreciation is 15
percent on Written Down Value
(WDV) basis, income tax rate is 35
percent and discount rate is 12
percent.
Advise which of the financing
options should XYZ Ltd. exercise
and why?
28
29. Option A
The loan amount is repayable
together with the interest at
the rate of 13% on loan
amount and is repayable in
equal installments at the end
of each year.
The PVAF at the rate of 13%
for 5 years is 3.5172, the
amount payable will be
Annual amount = Rs
10,00,000/ 3.5172 =
2,84,320
29
33. Option B
Lease Rent 330,000
Tax Shield (.35) (1,15,500)
Outflow 2,14,500
× 3.605
7,73,273
Since PV of outflows is lower in the Borrowing
option, XYZ Ltd. should avail of the loan and
purchase the equipment
33
34. ■ Since PV of outflows is lower in the Borrowing option, XYZ Ltd. should avail of
the loan and purchase the equipment
34
35. EXAMPLE
■ X Leasing Ltd. (the lessor) purchases a special equipment for
Rs10,00,000/. The special equipment is necessary for port to
handle cargo.
■ X leases the equipment to Bombay port (lessee) at lease rental
of Rs 4,02,100 per annum for 3 years payable at the end of
each year for 3 years. After the lease period the port will have
option to retain the equipment upon the payment of additional
Rs100.
■ Here, after 3 years, the lessee pays a token Rs100 to own the
asset - an option lessee will obviously exercise.
35
36. ■ From above it is clear that total payment of lease rental for 3 years = 3 × Rs
4,02,100 = Rs 12,06,300.
■ Out of Rs 12,06,300, cost is Rs10,00,000 and remaining Rs 2,06,300
(12,06,300- 10,00,000) is the return on investment.
■ The total return Rs 2,06,300, X Leasing Ltd. would have earned the amount by
lending Rs 10,00,000 at 10%.
36
37. ■ The question is how do we calculate 10%?
■ The answer is: On a principal of Rs 10,00,000, total earning is Rs
2,06, 300/ over a 3 year period without considering the time
value of money. Rs 4,02,100 each year (for 3 years) includes a
part payment of principal plus interest return).
■ From our knowledge about time value of money, we can say -
total present value (PV) of Rs 4,02,100 at the end of each year
for 3 years must be equal to Rs 10,00,000. That means, Rs
10,00,000 is the PV of a 3 year annuity of Rs 4,02,100/ . Let r
be the interest or return on investment .

The balance at the end of 3 years should
be zero. Rs .49 arises due to rounding off
difference.
40. Exercise
■ XYZ Ltd. requires an equipment costing Rs 15,00,000; the same will be
utilized over a period of 5 years. It has two financing options in this
regard :
■ Arrangement of a loan of Rs 15,00,000 at an interest rate of 15
percent per annum; the loan being repayable in 5 equal year end
installments; the equipment can be sold at the end of fifth year for Rs
1,50,000.
■ Leasing the equipment for a period of five years at an early rental of
Rs 4,75,000 payable at the year end.
■ The rate of depreciation is 15 percent on Written Down Value (WDV)
basis, income tax rate is 35 percent and discount rate is 12 percent.
■ Advise which of the financing options should XYZ Ltd. exercise and
why?
