On January 1, 2017, Clark Inc. sold a piece of equipment to Daye Ltd. for $200,000, and immediately leased the equipment back. At the time, the equipment was carried on Clark's books at a cost of $300,000, less accumulated depreciation of $120,000. The lease is a finance or capital lease to Clark, with a lease term of five years. The equipment under finance or capital lease will be depreciated in Clark's books over five years using double-declining balance depreciation.
