Capital Lease vs. Operating Leases It depends on your business needs.

This is good, if the equipment is well-maintained and could last well beyond its useful life I have to qualify the answer, though, because I am not sure if you are talking FAS13 definition of capital lease for financial reporting purposes or what some people call capital lease under the Internal Revenue Code (also known as conditional sale).

Capital Leases vs. Buying When the asset depreciates (loses value) fast and you want it only for a short period of time it may be better to lease than to buy Leasing may also be a less expensive or more available method of financing than borrowing, particularly for someone with poor credit or little credit history, if you cannot afford to pay cash.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
