Solution

The statement that is true is: "Gentle Ltd controls the equipment but does not have legal ownership of the equipment."

Here's why:

  1. "Gentle Ltd is the lessor of the equipment." - This is not true. Gentle Ltd is the lessee (the one who is leasing the equipment), not the lessor (the one who is leasing out the equipment).

  2. "Gentle Ltd controls the equipment but does not have legal ownership of the equipment." - This is true. In a lease agreement, the lessee (Gentle Ltd) has the right to use and control the equipment during the lease term, but the legal ownership remains with the lessor (Soft Ltd) unless the lessee decides to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term.

  3. "Gentle Ltd does not have control over the equipment." - This is not true. As the lessee, Gentle Ltd has control over the equipment during the lease term.

  4. "Gentle Ltd has legal ownership of the equipment." - This is not true. Legal ownership of the equipment remains with the lessor (Soft Ltd) unless Gentle Ltd decides to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term.
