her when teaching the cookie classes. She has an excellent
top-of-the-line food processor and mixer that originally
cost her $550. Natalie decides to start using it
only in her new business. She estimates that the equipment
is currently worth $300, and she transfers the equipment

Creations Inc. that the company will use for advertising.

useful life of two years before upgrades are needed, it
should be treated as an asset.)
