The lease term is the contractual lease term modified by any renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised or not exercised. Options whose exercise is under the control of the lessor are automatically included. Lease payments include payments resulting from those options as well as excess guaranteed residual values. The calculation of the present value of lease payments at the beginning of the lease does not include any variable lease payments, unless those payments are “in-substance fixed payments” or if they are based solely on an index or rate.

e In the present value calculations, the lessee subtracts the present value of the exercise price from the present value of the periodic lease payments to determine the amount recorded as the lease liability.
