This case requires the use of financial statement footnote data to constructively capitalise operating leases. This is important because the joint FASB/IASB project has a proposal to capitalise most leases that are currently off-balance sheet. The impact of lease capitalisation is assessed by calculating common financial statement ratios and comparing the results to a lease multiple. Multiples are a rule-of-thumb method of estimating lease capitalisation. But are they accurate? The economic consequences of lease capitalisation are investigated. First, the impact on the firm's capital management policy is assessed. This includes the impact on accounting ratios that are required to be maintained by the firm's debt contract. Second, the impact touches on a potential ‘sale and leaseback’ business decision.
