Focusing primarily on the sales-type lease, Nick walks through the process of recognizing a lease as a sale, including the calculation of lease receivable and presentation of sales revenue on the financial statements. He explains the accounting measurements and even runs through example journal entries, ensuring a practical understanding of how to record lease payments and interest revenue over the term of the lease.
