you are a business owner, who bought 100 cars from Honda Finance (cars that had been returned after the leases ended.) The cost was $500,000, to be paid in 30 days. When the cars arrived, some were in better condition than others. You sold 25 right away, for $10,000 each. Just to be safe, you sent the payments directly to Honda, even though the whole sum was not yet due. The remaining cars were a hard sell but sold for $7500 each, and at the end of the month, you were left with 50 cars and the payment to Honda was due, as well as your rent, salaries, overhead, etc. In desperation, you sell the remaining 50 cars to another lot at a price of $4000 each. The price discount was based upon the purchaser's agreement to pay in cash upon delivery. When the driver returns after delivering the cars, instead of cash he hands you a check from the other dealer........

1. If the check clears, how much did you profit or loss in the transaction?

2. What action would you take now if the purchaser of the cars refused to pay with cash or a certified check, the regular check is the only payment available? What risks have you taken and what can the ramifications be?

Your friend Harold is trying to decide whether to buy or lease his next vehicle. He has gathered information about each option but is not sure how to compare the alternatives. Purchasing a new vehicle will cost $31,500, and Harold expects to spend about $1,000 per year in maintenance costs. He would keep the vehicle for five years and estimates that the salvage value will be $12,500.

(Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

American Movieplex, a large movie theater chain, leases most of its theater facilities. In conjunction with recent operating leases, the company spent $28 million for seat and carpeting. The question being discussed over breakfast on Wednesday morning was the length of the depreciation period for these leasehold improvements. The company controller, Sarah Keene, was surprised by the suggestion of Larry Person, her new assistant. Keene: Why 25 years? We've never depreciated leasehold improvements for such a long period. Person: I noticed that in my review of back records. But during our expansion to the Midwest, we don't need expenses to be any higher than necessary. Keene: But isn't that a pretty rosy estimate of these assets' actual life? Trade publications show an average depreciation period of 12 years. Read through the dilemma.

For the Original Post*, you will be arguing in favor of Larry Person's proposal to increase the depreciation period for leasehold improvements. Remember to use logic and the accounting principles you have learned thus far to develop your argument. You must include at least three points as to why this route is the best route to go (with one of those points being related to the learned accounting principles).
