    Leasing

    A PRESENTATION
    Outcomes of the presentation include:
    • Meaning of lease
    • Definition of lease
    • Types of lease
    • Advantages of lease to the lessor and lessee
    • Disadvantage of lease to the lessor and lessee
    MEANING
     Lease financing is one of the important source of
    medium- and long-term financing where the owner of
    an asset gives another person, the right
    to use that asset against periodical payments. 
     The owner of the asset is known as lessor and
    the user is called lessee.
     The periodical payment made by the lessee to
    the lessor is known as lease rental. 
     Under lease financing, lessee is given the right
    to use the asset but the ownership lies with the
    lessor and at the end of the lease contract, the
    asset is returned to the lessor or an option is
    given to the lessee either to purchase the asset
    or to renew the lease agreement.
    Definition
    “Lease is a contract, whereby the owner of an asset (lessor)
    grants to another party (lessee) the exclusive right to use the
    asset usually for an agreed period of time in return for
    payment of rent” – James C Vanhore 
    AGREEMENT
    The lessee enters into a lease agreement with a lessor. The agreement terms and conditions such as:
      The lease period
      The timing and amount of lease rentals
      Penalty for default
      Repairs and servicing stipulations as to who is responsible, either lessee or lessor  Renewal
    of lease agreement
    DELIVERY OF ASSET
    Once the lease agreement is signed, the lessor contacts the asset provider/manufacturer, (if he does
    not readily possess one). The lessor makes payment to the asset provider. He then delivers the asset
    to the lessee.
    TYPES OF LEASING
    1. Financial Lease

    Financial leasing is a contract involving payment over a longer period. It is a long-term lease and the lessee
    will be paying much more than the cost of the property or equipment to the lessor in the form of lease
    charges. It is irrevocable. In this type of leasing the lessee has to bear all costs and the lessor does not render
    any service.

    2. Operating Lease

    In an operating lease, the lessee uses the asset for a specific period. The lessor bears the risk of obsolescence
    and incidental risks. There is an option to either party to terminate the lease after giving notice. In this type of
    leasing
    • lessor bears all expenses
    • lessor will not be able to realize the full cost of the asset
    • specialized services are provided by the lessor.
    • This kind of lease is preferred where the equipment is likely to suffer obsolescence.
    ADVANTAGES
    To Lessor:
    The advantages of lease financing from the point of view of lessor are summarized below

    Assured Regular Income:


    Lessor gets lease rental by leasing an asset during the period of lease which is an assured and regular income

    Preservation of Ownership:
    In case of finance lease, the lessor transfers all the risk and rewards incidental to ownership to the lessee without
    the transfer of ownership of asset hence the ownership lies with the lessor.
    Benefit of Tax:
    As ownership lies with the lessor, tax benefit is enjoyed by the lessor by way of depreciation in respect of
    leased asset.

    High Profitability:
    The business of leasing is highly profitable since the rate of return based on lease rental, is much higher than the
    interest payable on financing the asset.

    High Potentiality of Growth:


    The demand for leasing is steadily increasing because it is one of the cost efficient forms of financing.
    Economic growth can be maintained even during the period of depression. Thus, the growth potentiality of
    leasing is much higher as compared to other forms of business.

    Recovery of Investment:
    In case of finance lease, the lessor can recover the total investment through lease rentals.

    To Lessee: The advantages of lease financing from the point of view of lessee are discussed below:
    Use of Capital Goods: A business will not have to spend a lot of money for acquiring an asset but it can use an
    asset by paying small monthly or yearly rentals.
    DISADVANTAGES
    To Lessor:

    Lessor suffers from certain limitations which are discussed below:


    Unprofitable in Case of Inflation:
    Lessor gets fixed amount of lease rental every year and they cannot increase this even if the cost
    of asset goes up.

    Double Taxation:
    Sales tax may be charged twice:
    First at the time of purchase of asset and second at the time of leasing the asset.

    Greater Chance of Damage of Asset: As ownership is not transferred, the lessee uses the asset
    carelessly and there is a great chance that asset cannot be useable after the expiry of primary
    period of lease.
    To Lessee:

    The disadvantages of lease financing from lessee’s point of view are given below:
    Compulsion: Finance lease is non-cancellable and even if a company does not want to use the asset,
    lessee is required to pay the lease rentals.

    Ownership: The lessee will not become the owner of the asset at the end of lease agreement unless
    he decides to purchase it.

    Costly: Lease financing is more costly than other sources of financing because lessee has to pay
    lease rental as well as expenses incidental to the ownership of the asset.

    Understatement of Asset: As lessee is not the owner of the asset, such an asset cannot be shown in
    the balance sheet which leads to understatement of lessee’s asset.
