For lessees, if they can rent the asset for 3 years and they can continue to lease the asset for a nominal $1 rent per year indefinitely after that and the lessee plans to use the asset for 4 years, then does the right of use asset be depreciated by 3 or 4 years in the lessee books?

Lease term and depreciation
Hi,
It is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and useful life. Here the lease term is indefinite as they would take up the $1 rental option, and the useful life is 4 years. Therefore it is depreciated over the 4 years.
Thanks
