    I have seen conflicting information. Your notes say that land is always operating, but in the BPP book it says it could be financing ( PV of “land portion” is substantially all of land FV) . Can somebody in the know give me a quick ruling ?

    I would not describe myself as someone in the know but the following link suggests that in some unusual circumstances land can be part of finance lease.Hope this helps-

    Thank you Mrjonbain, strangely that made it worse. I guess very long term land leases only are considered finance.
    I thought the the present value of the land portion payments is a …..thing to consider, but if that article doesn’t mention then ….it isn’t?

    LOL (I am actually laughing in the library )
    Oh, well. Thank you

    I strongly believe the examiner would not have land as part of finance lease in exam if that makes you feel better.I am sure I have read in past that hundred year leases on land for commercial use tend to have similar values as freehold leases.
