A stoa (/ËstoÊÉ/; plural, stoas, stoai, or stoae /ËstoÊ.iË/), in ancient Greek architecture, is a covered walkway or portico, commonly for public use. Early stoas were open at the entrance with columns, usually of the Doric order, lining the side of the building; they created a safe, enveloping, protective atmosphere.
BREAKING DOWN 'Capitalized Lease Method'. When a lease is capitalized, the lessee creates an asset account for the leased item, and the asset value on the balance sheet is the lesser of fair market value or the present value of the lease payments. The lessee also posts a lease obligation in the liability section of the balance sheet for the same dollar amount as the asset.
Sales-type lease accounting. A lease is classified as a sales-type lease by the lessor when the fair value of the leased property at the start of a lease varies from its carrying amount, it involves real estate, and there is a transfer of ownership to the lessee by the end of the lease term.f a lease originally classified as a sales-type lease is renewed and the renewed lease is classified as an operating lease, the lessor should continue to account for the original lease as a sales-type lease, and then account for the renewed lease as an operating lease.
