Required information In an operating lease, a sale is not recorded by the lessor. Instead, the periodic lease payments are accounted for as rent revenue by the lessor. The lessee records a right-of-use asset and lease liability at the present value of the lease payments. Interest expense is recognized at the effective rate times the outstanding balance. Amortization of the right-of-use asset is determined as the amount needed to cause the total lease expense (interest plus amortization) to be a straight-line amount equal to the lease payment.
