Answer:

If the lease term of asset is morethan 75% of the economic life of the asset It is a Capital lease.
If the lease term of asset is lessthan 75% of the economic life of the asset It is a Operating lease.
= Lease Term / Economic Life of the asset
=6 years / 7 years
=85.71% > 75%
Therefore it is a Capital Lease
