| jwp2 | These ratios deteriorate at the inception of the capital lease. They improve throughout the TERM of the lease. |
| antarctica | debt to equity increases meaning the ratio deteriorates |
| quanttrader | capital lease record more asset and more debt/liab |
| johntan1979 | ROA is lower also because of lower initial NI as a result of higher initial total lease expense (depreciation exp + interest exp) |
| gill15 | I was thinking current ratio increases due to the Asset --- not a CURRENY ASSET I'm still laughing at Antihead's username |
| Shaan23 | Current ratio - That is tricky. Remember that. |
| Teeto | I thought current ratio would not deteriorate at CL VS OL since first operating lease payment is a current liability as well, isn't it? |
| forry9er | @johntan1979 OR even easier, ROA is lower because Assets are higher! |
| Konstantis | Net income at the inception is unaffected |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
