Why is this a financing lease?

Provide the Day 1 entries (lease inception), and show calculations. An attached excel file is fine.

Build an amortization schedule for the lease term (remember, its similar to bond amortization, etc. You can find examples on the web, old text, etc.)

Provide the Day 2 entries which would include the amortization of the right to use, and the 2^nd lease payment.
