a. A Capital lease is entered into with the initial lease payment due upon the signing of the lease agreement

Explanation:

Annuity due concept is used for the payment schedule whereby regular payments are made/received at the beginning of the period say, at the beginning of a month or at the beginning of the year.

The present value computed using the annuity due concept is more than the present value computed under deferred annuity wherein payments are made at the end of the period.

Under a capital lease, the lessor is only responsible for financing the asset whereas all other risks and rewards and ownership rest with the lessee.

A capital lease wherein the initial lease payment falls due at the time of signing of the agreement would use the present value of annuity due concept.
