Question and answer
what are some other costs and benefits of the lease versus buy option relative to real estate?
lthough the value of a business has little affect on the value of the real estate, owning real estate as a business asset offers some positive financial advantages. [ For instance, financing options are more numerous for real estate than for other capital assets. Because real estate is viewed as an investment with a virtually unlimited lifespan, it can be financed with equity, mortgage loans, or sale-leaseback financing. This last option-which is somewhat analogous to an interest-only loan with no requirement to ever repay the principal-is not available for equipment, which, in comparison,
has a brief lifespan and is more subject to functional obsolescence. The best way to compare the value of owning commercial real estate to leasing it is to create a purchase versus lease model, similar to comparisons for other business investments. However, being able to either own or lease real estate makes analyzing financing alternatives more complex. With equipment, options are often limited to loans or capitalized leases, which are both debt equivalents. Therefore, comparisons are based on one factor: rate. We can also make rate comparisons for real estate mortgages and operating leases. However, the analysis is complicated by the different tax ramifications and the need to factor in real estate appreciation and lease escalations. In addition, real estate ownership carries a potential opportunity cost. Owning real estate through either equity or mortgage loan financing is likely to exclude further investment in the business, such as expansion or renovation. Further operations investment might produce greater returns than the real estate investment, thus creating an opportunity cost that accompanies real estate ownership. As a result, any comparisons made between owning and leasing should include an opportunity cost comparison as well as a rate comparison.Real estate ownership tends to absorb more cash flow than a lease since property loans generally require down payments and loan amortization. ]

how do you handle stressors
Weegy: Stress management starts with identifying the sources of stress in your life. This isn’t as easy as it sounds. [ Your true sources of stress aren’t always obvious, and it’s all too easy to overlook your own stress-inducing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sure, you may know that you’re constantly worried about work deadlines. But maybe it’s your procrastination, rather than the actual job demands, that leads to deadline stress. To identify your true sources of stress, look closely at your habits, attitude, and excuses: Do you explain away stress as temporary (“I just have a million things going on right now”) even though you can’t remember the last time you took a breather? Do you define stress as an integral part of your work or home life (“Things are always crazy around here”) or as a part of your personality (“I have a lot of nervous energy, that’s all”). Do you blame your stress on other people or outside events, or view it as entirely normal and unexceptional? Until you accept responsibility for the role you play in creating or maintaining it, your stress level will remain outside your control. Start a stress journal A stress journal can help you identify the regular stressors in your life and the way you deal with them. Each time you feel stressed, keep track of it in your journal. As you keep a daily log, you will begin to see patterns and common themes. Write down: What caused your stress (make a guess if you’re unsure). How you felt, both physically and emotionally. How you acted in response. What you did to make yourself feel better. Look at how you currently cope with stress Think about the ways you currently manage and cope with stress in your life. Your stress journal can help you identify them. ] (More)

Weegy: How to Use Graphic Organizers to Increase Reading Comprehension. Graphic organizers are an effective ... look over ... How to Use Graphic Organizers as a Reading/Writing Strategy [ hension.html ] User: how would you apply grahic organizers to vocabulary strategies when reading course material Weegy: The analogy graphic organizer is extremely helpful in aiding students with a visual representation of an analogy. [ It helps students organize the similarities and differences into more manageable categories and ultimately draw conclusions on the unfamiliar topic. At the top, the unfamiliar concept is listed on one side, and the familiar concept is listed on the other. Along columns in the middle, students write the similarities between the unfamiliar and familiar concept along one side, and the differences along the other. At the bottom, students can draw conclusions on the analogy they have just made. In terms of how I might employ the analogy graphic organizer, it seems really helpful in an English classroom to compare literary themes to real life experiences, or in contrastive grammar analysis in a German classroom. ] (More)
