Part B Customer Ltd enters into a 10-year contract with Supplier Ltd for the right to use two specified physically distinct dark fibres within a larger cable connecting Hong Kong to Tokyo. Customer Ltd makes the decisions about the use of the fibres by connecting each end of the fibres to its electronic equipment (i.e., Customer ‘light’ the fibres and decides what data and how much data to transfer). If the fibres are damaged, Supplier Ltd is responsible for the repairs and maintenance. Supplier Ltd owns extra fibres but can substitute those for Customer Ltd’s fibres only for reasons of repairs, maintenance or malfunction.

REQUIRED: Determine whether the contract contains a lease. Please explain and justify your conclusion according to AASB 16.
