Under modern lease accounting (ASC 842), what is the primary impact of an operating lease on the balance sheet?

  1. Recognition of only a contingent liability noted in the lease footnotes
  2. A direct, immediate reduction to retained earnings recorded at lease inception
  3. Recognition of both a Right-of-Use (ROU) Asset and a corresponding Lease Liability
  4. Operating leases are instead treated as equity investments the lessee holds in the lessor entity
