Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of Terry’s gross investment, depreciation, and net investment are as follows:

The depreciation is calculated as follows:

Terry’s Depreciation = (700,000+750,000-1,100,000)

= $3,50,000

Total gross investment of Terry’s towing service for both the years is

700,000+750,000 = $14,50,000

Net investment = Gross investment – depreciation

Gross investment = $750,000

Depreciation = $3,50,000

Therefore, net investment of Terry is = $4,00,000.
