Finger [1]

Answer:

Over the economic life of the asset.

Explanation:

An asset obtained under a financial lease must be depreciated in the same way as the company would depreciate any other similar fixed asset. E.g. a leased truck should be depreciated similarly to other trucks owned by the company.

In a financial lease, the lessor amortizes the asset's value, while the lessee depreciates the assets as common fixed assets (a lessee doesn't amortize).

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": the United States becoming a transcontinental nation.
