What are the different types of leases?
An operating lease is implemented for short-term leases of assets with a limited lifespan. The asset under this type of agreement stays as the lessor’s property, while rent payments are paid by the lessee for its use throughout the term specified in the said contract (Li & Xu, 2022). The finance lease is a long-term lease that typically encompasses assets with an extensive lifespan. The responsibility for maintenance, insurance coverage, and taxes during this contractual arrangement falls under the purview of the lessee as they have been assigned these obligations. Upon termination of said contract, there exists within it an option to buy said asset at residual value dictated by certain conditions outlined in prior agreements. Sale and leaseback involve vending an asset to a leasing corporation, which is then leased again for a specific duration (Lee & McDonough, 2022). This leasing mode effectively generates finances while still retaining ownership over the property.
How can a lease be better than buying the item with capital?
In certain situations, leasing can prove superior to purchasing an item with available capital. Utilizing business access to the use of assets without requiring full payment upfront conserves cash flow. Additionally, such arrangements could offer tax benefits since lease payments are usually deductible as expenses under favorable conditions.
Suppose an organization needs new machinery that costs $100,000. They have two options: lease the machinery for five years or purchase it outright using a loan with an interest rate of 8% per year.
Option 1: Lease
Lease the machinery for a monthly payment of $2,000 for five years, with no residual value.

Running Head: LEASING VS RENTING 1
Total Lease Payments = $2,000 x 12 months x 5 years = $120,000
Option 2: Purchase
The monthly payment for the loan would be $2,057.05,
Total Loan Payments = $2,057.05 x 12 months x 5 years = $123,423
Comparing the two options, leasing would be more cost effective than buying the machinery outright.
What factors do you consider when evaluating a lease?
To choose between lease and buy, one must consider various factors. One factor examines the present value of payments due under a lease compared to those associated with purchasing an asset via capital infusion. While conducting this analysis, several variables should be considered, such as interest rates attached to financing costs, anticipated duration of productive usage for said item, and any relevant tax implications that may accrue over time (Gonzalez-Prida et al., 2022). As one scrutinizes a lease, certain elements worth considering entail the lease term, the monthly payment, how much its resale value can fetch in the future, and any repercussions from an untimely dissolution. Other variables to examine are whether or not the lessor’s credit standing is substantial enough and what regulations pertain to the said leasing agreement.
A company’s financial records can be impacted in diverse forms by leasing. The payments made for leases are characterized as operational costs and deducted from the earnings, which may result in a diminished tax burden. Nonetheless, incorporating lease liabilities into the balance sheet can influence an enterprise’s debt-equity ratio and other

financial ratios (Gonzalez-Prida et al., 2022). Therefore, one must scrutinize how renting will affect their financial reports and overall fiscal stability.

Leasing Decisions
Businesses generally own fixed (capital) assets. However, it the ability to use buildings and equipment that is important to the business, not their ownership. One way to obtain the use of capital assets is to lease them.
Address the following requirements:
What are the different types of leases?
How can a lease be better than buying the item with capital?

This assignment involves the presentation and interpretation of descriiptive statistics and statistical
test results.
1. You have been randomly allocated to 1 of a large number of different datasets from the
Roberton Data Set on Moodle.

PleaseI want to do for me this project (note: you need to have R/R Studio for analysis): analysis and interpretation of a secondary dataset to test a health economic hypothesis. The dataset is uploaded. Other details:
Learning outcomes to be assessed – you should be able to: · Show an in-depth understanding of the application of statistical techniques to health data · Show an in-depth understanding of the use of quasi experimental designs · Critically examine different regression models · Apply statistical techniques using standard econometric software · Develop an economic hypothesis and understand the appropriate statistical methods required to test the hypothesis You should conduct your analysis in R/RStudio using the following dataset (an extract from Chile EPS).
Your analysis should be limited to the latest wave of data for the year 2009 only and you should employ cross sectional methods. Pardo, Cristian (2019), “Data for: Health Care Reform, Adverse Selection and Health Insurance Choice”, Mendeley Data, V1, doi: 10.17632/5dw4gxyh93.1 The Social Protection Survey (EPS) is the largest and oldest longitudinal survey that exists in Chile, with a sample of around 16,000 respondents distributed in all regions of the country. The questionnaire includes questions on labour and social security with detailed information in areas such as education, health, social security, job training, wealth and assets, family history and household information. In this dataset there are 9 variables: 1. folio – a participant ID 2. Age (in years) 3. Female (0= male/1= female)
4. Edu_yrs (years of education) 5. Ins (insurance: 1 = private, 2 = public, 3 = none) 6. Hlstat (Health status 1= best, 5= worst) 7. R_incomeall (income in Chilean peso) 8. Survey (year of data survey) 9. N_depend (number of dependents).
You should make sure to cover the following steps in your analysis: · Develop a health economic hypothesis of a relationship between two of the variables in the dataset, supported by some outside literature or empirical research (make sure to include appropriate references) · Describe and justify how you will test this hypothesis – you should employ both bivariate and multivariate methods (Note: remember only data for year 2009) · Consider the level of missing data and appropriate methods for handling it · Present relevant descriptive statistics (Note: remember only data for year 2009) · Perform appropriate modelling/statistical tests to refute or support the hypothesis · Critically examine the results of your analyses · Consider the strengths and limitations of your methods and how other study design or analytical techniques could help address your hypothesis o What is this analysis not able to tell us? Think about causality. o Is there potential bias? o Are there other longitudinal methods that could be used? Your final submission is a written report of up to 2,000 words: i. The report must include the following components based on your analysis: • Introduction – introduce your empirical analysis, why it might be relevant to health policy, and establish how it will help us test an economic hypothesis (guide: ~250 words) • Methods – Describe the data and methods you have used to perform your analysis. Make sure to briefly cover why these methods have been chosen – critically engaging with the statistical methods that could be used is paramount. Make sure you address both descriptive and inferential techniques (guide: ~650 words) • Results – Detail your empirical findings clearly with appropriate use of tables and figures (guide: ~600 words) • Discussion – succinctly discuss the issues in the data, what the results mean and any strengths and limitation of your analysis (guide: ~350 words) • Conclusions – succinctly present in a few points what can be concluded based on your analysis (guide: 150 words) • References – use consistently and as per the referencing guidance
ii. Use appropriate academic referencing, using Harvard referencing style iii. You may choose to present tables or figures to support your analysis – ensure they are legible and contribute to your analysis. Although tables and figures do not count towards 2000-word limit, only use tables and figures if they are essential to support your analysis. You can also use up to 2 appendices. Redundant data presented in tables and figures are not welcome. iv. You should make good use of the word length to produce a thorough empirical analysis.
