How to record lessor finance lease modification
Adjusting a finance lease from the lessor's perspective when a modification is not accounted for as a separate lease and the lease would have still been classified as a finance lease.
| Account Name | Type | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |

| Gain on Lease Modification | Credit | - | 8,000.00 |
