A is corrent. Per ASC Topic 840, the lessee records the asset at the lower of (1) the present value of the minimum lease payments or (2) the fair market value of the leased asset. In this case, the present value ($258,000) is less than the fair market value ($280,000); therefore, $258,000 is capitalized. Since the machine reverts to the lessor at the end of the lease, the lessee should depreciate it over the lease term (8 years) even though it is less than the useful life (10 years). Depreciation expense is $32,250 ($258,000/8 years). B is incorrect.
