Crystal must have a(n):
a. Leveraged lease.
b. Sales-type lease without selling profit.
c. Finance lease.
d. Operating lease.

Answer 1

D) Operating lease.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an operating lease, ownership is not transferred, the agreement is made in order to temporarily use and operate the assets. Since operating leases don't include ownership, they are not included in the balance sheet since they only generate expenses and no liabilities. Operating leases are included in the income statement only.
