If the present value of the minimum lease payments exceed or are 90% of the fair value of the machine, it has met one of the four criteria for being a capital lease.
Criteria for Capital Lease:
O- Ownership
W- Written Bargain Purchase Option
N- (Ninety %) Present value of minimum lease payments are 90% percent of the fair value of the machine
S- (Seventy five %) The lease life is 75% or greater than the assets useful life
Also to answer your question, collectability is never really 100% certain and that is another issue, as long as the lease meets one of the 4 criteria of OWNS from the start date, then its a capital lease.
