Applied Lease Finance: A practitioner's guide to applied financial Excel in leasing Kindle Edition


The book is designed to offer a technical introduction to financial mathematics and building leasing models to show the importance of basic design standards and clarity of layout. Using these tools, the book applies these methods to model key leasing questions. In particular, it covers:

• Discussion of types of leases from a lessee and lessor standpoint
• Key Excel financial functions in Excel for discounted cash flows and time value of money
• Leasing calculations for present values, interest rates, future values and amortisation
• Basic leasing calculations and methods
• Theory and practice of lease pricing
• Lease accounting for lessees and lessors
• Lessor evaluation methods and working out real returns
• Lessee evaluation and deciding whether it is better to lease or buy equipment
• Lessor asset management from acquisition through the lease term to final disposal

Each section outlines a specific leasing area and describes the theory behind the mathematics and then displays the model with worked examples. It is easier to show the calculations using Excel models rather than HP or Texas Instruments calculators since you can always see the inputs, interim outputs and final answers. The model is available online so you can enter new data and try your own examples.

By reading the book and working through the examples, you will gain a better understanding of the mechanics of financial mathematics applied to leasing and the underlying theory of how leasing offers benefits to lenders and users alike.
