5.You are given the following information about WE-SAVE-UM animal rescue (WSU):
Number of dogs rescued and placed at WSU are 600 average length of stay for a dog is 10 days Daily cost to feed one dog per day 90 cents (.90) Number of veterinary visits per dog are 1.2 Cost per veterinary visit is $35
Cost of spay/neuter and transportation per dog rescued is $45
Cost of kennel and related equipment is $300,000 useful life of the kennel and related equipment is 20 years WSU uses straight-line depreciation Salvage value of the kennel and related equipment is $0.00
