Lewisville Company is currently leasing the warehouse to another company for $5,800 per month on a year-to-year basis.

Lewisville Company is seriously considering converting the warehouse into a factory outlet for furniture.

The remodeling cost will be depreciated over the next 5 years using the double-declining-balance method. (Note: Use the VDB function in Excel to calculate depreciation charges. The advantage of using the VDB, rather than the DDB, function is that there is a (default) option in the former that provides an automatic switch to the straight-line method when it is advantageous to do so.)

- Option 1: He needs to rent a kiosk cart in the mall which will cost $600 a month. In addition, there are marketing costs for signage and business cards, which have an initial cost of $1,200. Zach will also need to create a website, Instagram page and Facebook ads that will cost him $200 a month. To start the business, his tools would cost $500. The total repairs would include a flat rate of $30 for an assessment and another $100 to fix the phone. The supplies to complete each phone would cost $40. Option 2: Zach needs a way to source old phones from people who no longer need them. He would pay $50 for a used phone in decent condition and then refurbish it for $40.
