Under ASC 842, leases are classified as operating or finance. For operating leases, a single straight-line lease expense is recognised. For finance leases, depreciation and interest are recognised separately, producing front-loaded total expense. Both types create a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet at commencement.
