1c) A rival competitor, Blake Motorbikes, also leases the complicated piece of equipment but does not capitalise the lease (i.e. it simply records rent expense).

Yang thinks her company is more efficient than Blake Motorbikes. Explain to her whether this is true or not by recalculating the ROA of Yang Motorbikes as it would be if the same accounting methods as Blake Motorbikes were used.
1d) Yang is worried that the bank may only read the financial statements and value Yang Motorbikes no differently than Blake Motorbikes. Should she be? Explain why or why not.
