Mike Burke · Answer 1

A sales-type lease with selling profit

Explanation:

A sales-type lease exists when any of the following happens

(1) the lease does not meet the criteria to be classified as operating and

(2) the lessor realizes both interest income and a profit (or loss) on the transaction.

Therefore, the fair market value of the leased asset is more than the lessor's cost to purchase the asset.
