General Concepts
Future value is the value of a current asset or sum of money at a specified date in the future, assuming a certain rate of growth or interest. In lease accounting, future value concepts are used in lease vs. buy analyses and in evaluating residual value guarantees.
Why it matters
Future value calculations help finance teams evaluate the total cost of lease obligations over time and assess the reasonableness of residual value guarantees. Understanding FV is essential for comparing lease proposals and evaluating purchase options at lease end.
