What's the accounting treatment when Dell offers 30 month leases with zero interest for any system bought by 9/30/2000? This is another trick to hit the stated revenue goals, but I think they have to discount the scheduled monthly payments at some cost of capital or higher rate. Or, is there some accounting exception for Dell? Possible answer: Dell is offering $100 off any system, and perhaps leased systems are usually more expensive, and if you take the zero interest deal, you don't get the $100, so all around Dell has similar gross margins after promotional offers.
