When buying a certain good we moreover have to differentiate between goods that are purchased on lease or bought on credit. This paper does not deal with the fundamental question whether to buy on credit or to lease as it has been proved the advantages and risks of leasing. The question now is why do companies nevertheless discuss about buying or leasing?
