About this lesson

You'll work through a practical aircraft contract scenario, applying the standard's definition of a lease—the right to control an asset for a specified period in exchange for payment—to determine whether a contract qualifies as a lease despite substitution clauses and contractual restrictions. Once you've identified the lease, you'll learn the correct accounting treatment: setting up a lease liability at the present value of future payments and a right-of-use asset that includes initial setup costs, then depreciating the asset over the lease term. This lesson emphasises the importance of structured analysis—define the rules, apply them to the facts, then conclude—to confidently handle lease accounting questions in your exams.
