Differential Analysis for a Lease or Sell Decision Burlington Construction Company is considering selling excess machinery with a book value of $281,300 (original cost of $400,200 less accumulated depreciation of $118,900) for $277,000, less a 5% brokerage commission. Alternatively, the machinery can be leased for a total of $287,100 for five years, after which it is expected to have no residual value. During the period of the lease, Burlington Construction Company's costs of repairs, insurance, and property tax expenses are expected to be $26,200. a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 15 to determine whether Burlington Construction Company should lease (Alternative 1) or sell (Alternative 2) the machinery.
b. On the basis of the data presented, would it be advisable to lease or sell the machinery?

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

i think the answer is b.

not 100% sure though.
