Differential Analysis for a Lease or Buy Decision Sloan Corporation is considering new equipment. The equipment can be purchased

from an overseas supplier for $125,500. The freight and installation costs for the equipment are $1,600. If purchased, annual repairs and maintenance are estimated to be $2,500 per year over the five-year useful life of the equipment. Alternatively, Sloan can lease the equipment from a domestic supplier for $30,000 per year for five years, with no additional costs. Prepare a differential analysis dated December 3 to determine whether Sloan should lease (Alternative 1) or purchase (Alternative 2) the equipment. Hint: This is a "lease or buy" decision, which must be analyzed from the perspective of the equipment user, as opposed to the equipment owner. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Use a minus sign to indicate a loss.

Answer:

Alternative 2 (purchase equipment) should be selected because it reduces costs by $10,400.

Explanation:

Alternative 1 (lease):

less price per year $30,000 x 5 years = $150,000

Alternative 2 (purchase):

initial investment = $125,500 + $1,600 = $127,100

maintenance cost per year = $2,500 x 5 years = $12,500

A buyer will receive a utilities bill for an estimated $400 at the end of the month. At closing, the seller has used an estimate
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Dr Seller Account $100

Cr Buyer Account      $100

Explanation:

The property sold on 15th of the month by Mr. A to Mr. B and the utility bill received later of this month would be split between Mr. A and Mr. B. The basis for the split of the utility bills would be the share that Mr. A utilized the facilities and in this scenario, it is $100. Hence the buyer Mr. B has receivable of $100 and the seller Mr. A has a liability payable of $100 amount.

Hence the buyer will debit the bill by $100 receivable and the Seller will debit the bill owed to buyer by $100.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

AUD 39.93 is expected to be received for your baht.

Explanation:

To calcuate the cross currency exchange rate between Thai Baht and AUD, inverse the USD per Thai Baht quote, this will give you (1/0.023 = 43.478). Now, multiply this by USD per AUD ( TBHT by USD multiplied by USD by AUD, thus USD will cancel out and leave you with TBHT by AUD). The Final ER will stand at TBHT 25.0434 per AUD. Divide the sum of TBHT 1000 by 25.0434 and you will recieve AUD 39.93
