Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

A lease is a contractual arrangement calling for the lessee (user) to pay the lessor (owner) for use of an asset. Some characteristics of Leases are:

- The right to use the lessor's asset is granted in exchange for a fee called the lease payment.

- The lease payments are usually paid in installments.

- Leases may be long- or short-term.

- At its inception a lease agreement constitutes a mutually unperformed contract

Though the ownership of the asset is not transferred to the lessee, some responsibilities and risks do. The lessor and lessee may negotiate on who is responsible on maintenance, insurance, etc.
