Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

A) Lease payments are a fixed obligation of the firm. B) The risk of the lease payments is no greater than the risk of secured debt, so it is reasonable to discount the lease payments at the firm's secured borrowing rate.

D) If the equipment is leased and the lease is a non-tax lease, there is no capital expenditure, but the lease payments are an operating expense.
