Chapter 19, Problem 8MC
Lewis’s management has been considering moving to a new downtown location, and they are concerned that these plans may come to fruition prior to the equipment lease’s expiration. If the move occurs then Lewis would buy or lease an entirely new set of equipment, so management would like to include a cancelation clause in the lease contract. What effect would such a clause have on the riskiness of the lease from Lewis’s standpoint? From the lessor’s standpoint? If you were the lessor, would you insist on changing any of the other lease terms if a cancelation clause were added? Should the cancelation clause contain provisions similar to call premiums or any restrictive covenants and/or penalties of the type contained in bond indentures? Explain your answer.

There are two parties in any lease contract—the lessee and the lessor. To a lessor, a lease analysis involves a capital budgeting analysis of the property or equipment to be leased. The lessor’s decision is either to purchase and lease-out the asset, or not make the investment at all.
Like any capital budgeting decision, the lessor needs to evaluate the rate of return expected to be earned from making the lease. Further, since the cost and other terms of leases involving high-cost items are negotiated, this rate of return information is also important information for a prospective lessee.
From the following statements, identify the steps involved in lease analysis from a lessor’s perspective. Check all that apply.
