Different from borrowing money to purchase an asset since it may not involve recording an asset and liability on the b/s. Lease is a contractual arrangement where one entity, the lessee, agrees to pay another entity, the lessor, a fee in exchange for the use of an asset (could be long-term or short-term) Lessee is an entity that leases an asset from the asset"s owner. Lessor is an entity that leases assets that it owns to other entities. Frees up cash to use in other activities. Keep up to date with newest models (ie. flexibility- dell off-lease) Can be short-term (ie. may not need the asset for a long-period of time) Off-balance sheet financing (didn"t put on bs in past- old way, used like asset) Some leases may be considered off-balance sheet financing leases. Gives benefit of a liability without negative b/s consequences or impact on the d/e ratio.
