- At the end of the lease contract, the lessee receives ownership of the leased property or continues to lease according to the agreement.
- At the end of the lease contract, the lessee has the option to purchase the leased asset at a nominal price lower than the actual value of the leased asset at the time of purchase.
- The lease term must be at least 60% of the time required to depreciate the asset.
- The total rental amount payable must be at least equivalent to the market price of the property at the time of signing the contract.
If a lease does not satisfy any of the four conditions above, it is considered an operating lease.

correct production capacity, technical facilities and fixed asset usage efficiency.
+ Monitor capital recovery and capital accumulation for business reproduction through fixed asset depreciation.
+ Evaluating fixed assets based on residual value helps businesses know the current status of fixed assets and existing fixed capital, thereby having a plan to invest in purchasing fixed assets.
+ The original price of fixed assets can only be replaced when there is a decision to re-evaluate fixed assets, upgrade, or dismantle one or several parts of the fixed assets.
The original cost of financial leased fixed assets can be calculated in different ways.
each other
+ Calculated based on the present value of the rental amount:
PV
FV
(1 r) t
In which: - PV: present value of rent
- FV: total rent payable
- r: interest rate
- t: number of rental periods
+ According to the current trend, the tenant and the landlord agree that during the rental period, the amount to be paid at the end of each period and each year is the same. So:
Amount to be paid regularly
=
Annual (periodic)
PVx t

(1 r) t
+ Calculated by the principal payable: If the contract states the total amount of rent payable (principal + interest), interest payable each period (year); number of rental periods. The amount the lessee must pay for the entire rental period, in which the interest payable in each period is clearly stated.

3. Contents of fixed asset accounting organization in production units.
Fixed asset accounting is the process of forming, selecting and providing information on the fluctuations of fixed assets of the enterprise on the basis of establishing a system of documents and books. The purpose of accounting is to closely monitor and manage fixed assets on the basis of providing economic information on fixed assets in a complete, timely and accurate manner.
Fixed asset accounting organization includes:
+ Detailed accounting.
+ General accounting.
a. Detailed accounting of fixed assets.
During the production and business activities, fixed assets of enterprises often fluctuate. To properly manage fixed assets, accountants need to monitor in detail all cases of increase or decrease in fixed assets.
- When there is an increase or decrease in fixed assets, the enterprise must establish an acceptance committee to receive fixed assets or liquidate them to assess the remaining value and then make a record of liquidation of fixed assets. These records are recorded in many copies (depending on the requirements of each enterprise), one copy is sent to the accounting department for accounting to enter into the detailed book and fixed asset accounting card.
