2a) False because salex tax is already included in income thus income would not be reduced.
2b) As it operating lease, thus home depot cannot record the revenue in one year, it hs to defer the revenue whch pertains to future years.
2c)
Total assets = 42,549
Total debt = 20,888
Debt to assets = 20,888/42,549
= 49.09%
2d)
Total equity = Total assets - total libalilities=42,549 - 36,233
= 6,316
Equity to assets = 6,316 / 42549
= 14.8%
