Kemba Corporation has acquired equipment with a fair market value of $ 145,000 on January 1, 2021 by engaging in a 5-year lease transaction that requires annual lease payments of $ 24,000 beginning January 1, 2021. The leased asset will revert back to the lessor after the lease term. Kemba has the option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term at the equipment's fair market value at that time. The economic life of the asset is 8 years and the present value of the minimum lease payments is $ 100,077. Instructions Analyze the details of this transaction and determine whether it should be classified as an operating or a finance lease in accordance with IFRS.

Criteria:
1. Transfer of ownership and option to buy - The leased asset will revert back to the lessor after the lease term and no bargain purchase option exists since Kemba would pay fair market value for the equipment. The criterion is not met.
2. The lease term is 62.5% (5/8 years) of the leased assets economic life. This is not considered the majority of the asset's economic life, therefore this criterion is not met.
3. The present value of the minimum lease payments represents 69% ($ 100,077 / $ 145,000). This does not represent substantially all of the fair value of the lease property, therefore this criterion is not met.
Conclusion: Since none of the above criteria have not been, this leased equipment would be classified as an operating lease.
