Assume that RMC’s cost of capital is 2.5%. Further, assume that RMC depreciates its facilities over 10 years using the straight-line method of depreciation with no salvage value. If RMC capitalized its operating leases (that is, treated them as capital leases), by how much would net income differ as a result in 2016 and 2017? Please show your work step by step because I want to understand how to do this problem. Thank you!
