Buy or LeaseIn this assignment, you will complete a technical report about the financial consequences of hosting for companies like AirBnB, VRBO andTuro. The focus of the assignment is understanding the importance of depreciation and taxes in financial decision-making.Context:For example, A new car is the usually the second biggest purchase most of people make. Since many consumers must finance their new vehicle, the decision of whether to buy or lease can be confusing, especially for first-time buyers. What many buyers don’t realize it what happens at the end of the lease, when the typically have the option to purchase the car at a residual value agreed upon at the time of purchase.The difference between the purchase price and the residual value is called depreciation. If market value is greater than the residual value, then a sensible financial decision for the buyer is to purchase the leased vehicle at the end of the lease. If market value is less, then a sensible decision is to put the car back on the leaseholder.Also, there are important tax implications. When purchasing a car, buyers pay all the sales taxes up front. But in a lease, buyer typically pay taxes only on the monthly lease payments. The savings may be considerable.For sharing economy reports, we’re still interested in depreciation and taxes. For example, students examining Uber or Lyft should compute the allowable depreciation of their vehicles, and the tax consequences of reporting their driving income on Schedule C of their federal and state tax returns.Audience:As was the case with your previous report, it is important for you to keep an identifiable and realistic audience in mind. for this report you will have to imagine possible audiences that will benefit from your report and select your own specific audience.
