asset.
Separating components of a contract
- contract can have combination of lease components or combination of lease and
non-lease components.

lessee apply the practical expedient. (Don’t have to separately account for lease
and non-lease components if the non-lease component is not material)

together with other resources readily available AND

also not highly connected/related with the other assets in the contract.

- Stand-alone price = the price the lessor would charge the lessee for only that
component separately
