44. Paul’s Delivery Service is considering selling one of its smaller trucks that is no longer needed in the business. The
truck originally costed $23,000 and has accumulated depreciation of $10,000. The truck can be sold for $14,000. Another
company is interested in leasing the truck. It will pay $4,800 per year for three years. Paul’s Delivery Service will continue
to pay the taxes and license fees for the truck, but all other expenses will be paid by the lessee. Management assumes the
expenses for the taxes and license will be $300 per year. Which of the following statements is correct?
a.
Paul’s Delivery Service should sell the truck because the differential loss from leasing is $500.
b.
Paul’s Delivery Service should lease the truck because the differential income from leasing is $12,200.
c.
Paul’s Delivery Service should lease the truck because the differential income from leasing is $300.
d.
Paul’s Delivery Service is indifferent as to whether the company should lease or sell the truck because there is

45. Max, Inc. can sell a large piece of machinery for $90,000. The machinery originally cost $240,000 and has
accumulated depreciation of $130,000. Max will have to pay a 5% sales commission on the sale. Rather than sell, Max is
considering leasing the machine. It can be leased for 4 years for $24,000 per year. Max has estimated future operating
expenses to be $3,000 per year, and Max will be responsible for those expenses. Which of the following options most
accurately describes the analysis and decision for Max?
a.
Lease – because differential revenues are $6,000 if Max leases rather than sells
b.
Lease – because Max will lose $20,000 if it sells the equipment for less than its $110,000 book value
c.
Sell – because differential income of selling rather than leasing is $6,000
d.
