The implications of capitalising operating leases on airline companies.

      Аннотация: In 2010, the International Accounting Standard Board and the Financial Accounting Standard Board jointly issued an exposure draft to eliminate the classification of leasing as either a finance lease or an operating lease and consider all leases as a finance lease only. The purpose of this study is to measure the implications of this new exposure draft on airline companies through a scenario analysis at three different discount rates namely are 3%, 6%, and 9%. In addition, eight financial ratios were analysed at each assumed discount rate and the average change of each ratio is used to measure the impact.
