A three-sided arrangement between the lessee, the lessor, and lenders. The lessor owns the asset and for a fee allows the lessee to use the asset. The lessor borrows to partially finance the asset. The lenders typically use a nonrecourse loan. This means that the lessor is not obligated to the lender in case of a default by the lessee. A leveraged lease is another type of financial lease.

Use the real-world convention of discounting the incremental after-tax cash flows at the lessors after-tax rate on secured debt. 2. Calculate the increase in debt capacity by discounting the difference between the cash flows of the purchase and the cash flows of the lease by the after-tax interest rate. The increase in debt capacity from a purchase is compared to the extra outflow at year 0 from a purchase. 3. Use APV (presented in the appendix to this chapter). They all yield the same answer. The easiest way is the least intuitive. There are three ways to value a lease. 1.
