| shasha | said it's guaranteed OR unguaranteed, both should be included. remember the answer to some other question says so. |
| gjwhite | See footnote 2 on page 536 of White, Sondhi and Fried: " MLPs include residual values when they are guaranteed by the lessees...and effectively transfers the risk of changes in residual values to the lessee." |
| CoffeeGirl | so lessee give guaranteed residual value to lessor, this "residual value" is included in the lease asset. |
| cfastudypl | eliminate the deducted as they both have the same direction and added becomes the correct option. |
