One Dollar Purchase
Option |
At the end of the lease period the Lessee
gets to own the lessee for a payment of $1. The monthly payments are usually higher than
other types of Leases. Since it qualifies as a purchase you can write off $24,000 in
the year the lease begins.
|
True Lease
(or Fair Market Value) |
Allows the Lessee to purchase the equipment
at fair market value at the end of the lease. Each payment is written off as an expense.
|
Fixed Price Purchase Option |
A fixed price is established for ownership
at the end of the lease (normally 10% balloon payment). The regular monthly payments are
usually lower. |
