On January 1, 2024, two private companies that report under ASPE, Blossom Ltd. and Cale Inc, were incorporated. Each company operates a restaurant and had identical revenues during the year of $2 million but Blossom bought its building for $1.5 million and the related land for $600,000. The company estimated that the building would have a useful life of 20 years with no residual value. Blossom uses the straight-line method of depreciation. Because of the building purchase, Blossom had an outstanding 4% bank loan during the year amounting on average to $2.5 million.

Cale. however, did not buy a building. Instead. it rented a building under a five-year operating lease starting on January 1.2024. for $15,000 per month. Because of this, the company had to instal! leasehold improvements for $200,000, which were completed in the first few days of January. Because Cale did not have to buy a building. its outstanding 4% bank loan during 2024 averaged only $350,000.

The income tax rate for both companies is 2296. Assume both companies had identical revenues and expenses except for the items noted above.
