Lease Pricing

This page lists the frequently asked questions related to generating lease pricing that you may encounter anytime. 

Lease Pricing

What is lease pricing?

Lease pricing is the process of determining the payment amount for leasing an asset. There are two types of leases; Finance Lease and Operating Lease, and you can generate pricing for both types based on the yield that you specify in the Lease Pricing tab or what is specified in the lease rate card.

What are the components of lease pricing?

Lease pricing in Originate is calculated based on two components; the income rate and the fees.

As fees is a compensation that the lessor earns for executing and servicing a lease application, it is considered as a component of lease pricing.

What are the different types of fees supported by Q2 Origination?

Fees can be a one-time fee or a recurring fee.

How can pricing offers be generated for lease applications?

Pricing offers can be generated in one of the following ways:

• Rate Cards- Q2 Origination provides an inbuilt calculator to price the lease application using a rate card.
  

• Manual Pricing- Q2 Origination provides the flexibility to price a lease manually. The lease repayment amount is automatically calculated using a standard payment calculator based on the financed amount, interest rate, and term entered when the application was created.

How to generate pricing using Rate Cards for a lease application?

To generate pricing using rate cards, the pricing method should be selected as Rate Card while creating the lending product. For more information on how to generate pricing manually, see Generate Lease Pricing Using Rate Card.

How to generate pricing manually for a lease application?

Lease Pricing Setup

How can Fees be configured for lease applications?

You must create fees before generating the pricing for a lease application. You can configure commonly used fees through Fee Definitions and associate those fees with a lending product. For more information on how to define fees and associate those with a lending product, see the following details:

• Create a fee definition.

Standard and Non-Standard Lease Pricing

What is the difference between Non-Standard Yield and Standard Yield?

A standard yield is defined as the percentage of return on the financed amount, taking the payment streams into consideration.

A non-standard yield is computed on non-rental expenses incurred or the revenue generated on the payout toward the broker commission and fee receivables such as maintenance fees and documentation fees.

The Financed Amount must be calculated before adding an asset.  If it is calculated after adding an asset, the system displays the error message stating, The Financed Amount has already been calculated.

Seasonal Payment

What is Seasonal Payment? 

As the name suggests, seasonal payment is a financial solution that enables the lessors to create a customized repayment plan for their lessees according to their business cash flows. This allows the lessees to make larger payments during their busier periods and smaller or no payments when business is quieter. 

Subvented Lease

What is Subvented Lease? 

A subvented lease is a type of lease where manufacturers reduce the cost of the lease through a subsidy, usually through the increase of the residual value or the decrease of the interest rate. These subsidies reduce the monthly payments that the lessee is required to pay over the life of the lease.
