Answer: B. Capital leases do not transfer ownership of the asset under the lease, but operating leases often do.
Explanation:
When using Capital Leases, the lessee will record the lease as if it were their own asset and as a result will also depreciate it. The lessee will also create a long term liability on their balance sheet for the asset.
Capital leases usually also involve a transfer of ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term. Operating Leases on the other hand do not have these features. They are more like a rental of an asset and as such are recorded as a rental expense in the books of the lessee. The ownership remains with the lessor in an Operating Lease and the asset will be returned once the lease period is over.

The question is incomplete. The complete Question is as follows,
Whistle Works manufacturers safety whistle keychains. They have the following information available to prepare their master budget:
Units to be produced
October 4,500
November 4,750
December 5,200
Whistle Works sells each whistle for $12. It takes 3 ounces of metal to produce each whistle at a cost of $0.50 per ounce. They prefer to have 10% of materials required for the following month's production in ending inventory as well. How many ounces of direct materials does Whistle Works need to purchase in October to meet production needs?
A) 4,500 ounces
B) 13,575 ounces
C) 13,425 ounces
D) 4,525 ounces
Answer:
Purchases = 13575 ounces
Option B is the correct answer
Explanation:
To calculate the purchases of material for October, we first need to calculate the inventory needed to produce the desired number of units in October along with the desired ending inventory and adjust it for the available opening inventory at start of October.
Material available at Start - October = 10% * 4500 units * 3 ounces per unit Material available at Start - October = 1350 ounces
Material required at end - October = 10% * 4750 units * 3 ounces per unit
Material required at end - October = 1425 ounces
Material required to produce required units in October = 4500 * 3 = 13500
Production = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory
13500 = 1350 + Purchases - 1425
13500 + 1425 - 1350 = Purchases
Purchases = 13575 ounces
