...Hello, A car purchase of lease is one that will be a depreciating cost no matter the choice. Buying a car is great but lets take a good look at the misconception and mistakes of buying versus leasing. When you buy a car one usually finances the contract for the car for at least sixty months. Yes I am buying the car but I must maintain the car with general maintenance ( which is not always included in the initial price of the car ). Then it usually takes at least forty eight months to gain equity for the depreciating asset. This is a rule of thumb used by the car dealers and the lenders. This is why using zero down payments always puts the buyer in a negative equity situation for the duration of a long period of time. One would ask what is the big deal? The big deal is that you are stuck with the car in the negative equity situation and can not trade or attempt to trade because of the negative equity situation. You can trade but once again the wallet will suffer as one will need a substantial down payment. There is also variables to consider of the depreciation of the car as the miles put on it and the overall shape of the car when trading. Leasing is a viable option for few as the credit rating for the consumer to lease must be outstanding and usually have a score of 750 as a rule. The irony of the market is that only eight percent according to the National Automobile Association qualify. You do not take the risk of depreciation and the bank is the owner and takes all the...

...According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, lease can be defined as: “A contract by which one conveys real estate, equipment, or facilities for a specified term and for a specified rent.” In layman terms however, leasing refers to a contract between two parties- the lessee to acquire the use of an asset with payment structured over time. The lessee chooses an asset and finds a lessor who will acquire it for him/her and enters into a non-cancellable, long term contract with the lessor to use and gain benefits from the fixed asset. The fixed asset is leased out for a stipulated time period and all costs such as maintenance, taxes and insurance are borne by the lessee. The structured, periodical payments made to the lessor are usually designed...

...Leasing vs. Buying a Vehicle The great debate to lease or buy a car? Which one of the two options is the smarter or he better choice? The answer to this question is both and neither are the best options. Confusing one may think so, however, the best way to get to the answer is to ask yourself what is important to you. Every person is different with different values and priorities that determine for them whether leasing or buying is the answer. There are people who desire to drive a new vehicle every few years with little or no maintenance costs. Some people have a strong desire to own the vehicle, as opposed to lower upfront costs with no ownership. One of the two of the biggest temptations for many people to lease verses buying are that the monthly costs to lease are cheaper than the monthly payments to buy a car. The other is that they are able to have a new car every 2-3 years, as opposed to the people who purchase. People who purchase generally hold on to the car for an additional 2 years after the last car payment. Let’s review the pros and cons of leasing. The advantages of leasing are it offers lower monthly payment and the ability to drive a new car with all the new bells and whistles every 2-3 years (ehow). There is a tax benefit of paying lower taxes since the individual is paying the taxes on the monthly payments verses the full value of the car. From the two examples so far it appears that leasing is a great situation, and everyone should lease; once...

...1. What is leasing? Leasing is a process by which a firm can obtain the use of a certain fixed assets for which it must pay a series of contractual, periodic, tax deductible payments. According to legal and economic viewpoints, leasing is the "transferral of capital goods for use for a defined time against payment". Due to reporting possibilities in the balance sheet, leasing is an alternative from a tax point of view to financing. In order to take a leasing you should sign a contract, that is called “lease contract”. Leases are the contracts that lay out the details of rental agreements in the real estate market. For example, if you want to rent an apartment, the lease will describe : -how much the monthly rent is -when it is due -what will happen if you don't pay -how much of a security deposit is required -the duration of the lease -whether you are allowed to have pets -how many occupants may live in the unit and any other essential information. The parts that are participating at this contract are : a.the lesee- the receiver of the services or the assets/ the renter ; the person renting property under a written lease from the owner b.the lessor- the owner of real property who rents it to a lessee pursuant to a written lease 2. Types of leasing There are three main types of lease: Finance Leasing and Operating Leasing and Contract Hire.

...Introduction | | Throughout this course, as well as in FI515, we haveassumed that firms own fixed assets and report them on their balance sheets. However, since it is the productive use of assets that is important and not necessarily the form of ownership, we'll spend some time this week looking at leasing as an alternative to buying. This alternative way of obtaining the use of equipment and facilities is currently available for virtually any kind of fixed assets, with over 30% of all new capital equipment being currently financed through lease arrangements. Lease transactions involve two parties: the lessor, who owns the property, and the lessee, who gains the right to use of the property in exchange for one or more lease, or rental, payments. | | Types of Leases | | In chapter 19, you will find a description of the five most important types of leasing arrangements, which include 1. operating lease, 2. financial, or capital, lease, 3. sale-and-leaseback arrangement, 4. combination lease, and 5. synthetic lease. Please keep an eye on the so called "synthetic" leases, which are still subject to a great deal of controversy after their "creative" use by such corporate names as Tyco and Enron. | | Tax Effects | | The full amount of the lease payments is a tax-deductible expense for the lessee for as long as the IRS agrees that a particular contract is a genuine lease and not just a loan called a lease. This makes it important that...

This would be beneficial to them because they are unsure of the length that the current opportunity will last. The Regional Trucking Company fits into this structure of a lease very well. An operating lease is a good choice in this company’s situation. FASB Statement Number 13 states, “Normally, sales-type leases will arise when manufacturers or dealers use leasing as a means of marketing their products.” The Regional Trucking Company that we are consulting for needs an additional twenty trailers; they will not be leasing their own equipment. Hence, a sales-type lease would not be the type of lease they should go with. It would not make any sense because they are not trying to compete in their own business; they are just trying to take advantage of an opportunity that has come along. This is used in capital leasing. The direct financing lease is accounted for the same way as a sales-type lease and it is also used in capital leasing. In a direct financing lease, the lessor is not a manufacturer or dealer in the item, they...

...Bangladesh is a developing country, but the national calamity and political unrest sluggish the industrial growth as well as economic growth of the country. Inspite of all these hindrance the growth of leasing companies is a significant indication of our bright prospects. The traditional sources of funds of our country in the financial market are – the Commercial Banks, DFIs and the stock exchange. But these sources are not enough to effectively meet the growing demand of capital investments for industrialization of the country. And the backdrop of such scenario, leasing companies came forward in the 80s to serving as an alternative source of financing. Leasing is now a growing industry in many developing countries as well as Bangladesh. In spite of sluggish economic activities the growth of the leasing industry is significant. Lease is a contract between the owner and the user of assets for a certain time period during which the second party uses an asset in exchange of making periodic rental payments to the first party without purchasing it. Under lease financing, the lessee regularly pays the fixed lease rent over a period of time at the beginning or at the end of a month, 3 months, 6 months or a year. At the end of the lease contract the asset reverts to the real owner. Leasing is an important new method of financing. Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs) play a significant role in meeting the diverse lease financial need of various sectors of an economy and thus contribute...
