   ASC 840-30 was the legacy guidance governing lessee accounting for capital leases and lessor accounting for direct financing and sales-type leases (recognition, initial measurement of the leased asset and obligation at the present value of minimum lease payments, subsequent interest and amortization, terminations/renewals, presentation, and disclosure). Every paragraph in this subtopic has been superseded — almost entirely by ASU 2016-02 (Leases, which created ASC 842), with 840-30-25-5 superseded by ASU 2014-09 (Revenue). As a result, 840-30 contains no operative guidance for entities that have adopted ASC 842.
