  6. TENTATIVE DECISIONS, cont’d • Initial Measurement (7/2008) • Similar to current capital lease accounting • Asset for right to use leased item • Liability for payment obligations • Both measured @ PV of expected payments • Discount @ lessee’s incremental borrowing rate

  7. OTHER DISCUSSIONS • Subsequent Measurement (7/2008) • IASB decided to: • Amortize asset systematically • Apportion payments between liability & interest • FASB discussed, but did not decide to: • Use IASB’s approach, or • Recognize straight-line rent expense
