Reviews

At one time or another, almost all businesses large or small are faced with the decision whether to lease or buy such capital assets as copying equipment, machinery, or computers. Libraries serving those businesses should have on hand at least one or two current books that discuss the factors involved in the lease-or-buy decision-making process, the two primary considerations being the accounting implications and the tax benefits. Schallheim, chair of the finance department in the business school at the University of Utah, provides a thorough, up-to-date analysis of the reasons for leasing, the different types of leasing arrangements, accounting practices, tax rules, and necessary financial calculations. This second book in the Financial Management Association's Survey and Synthesis series, though quite specialized, is one that libraries with business collections should consider. David Rouse
