Willie Lohmann travels from city to city for business. Every other year he buys a used car for about $15,000. The dealer allows about $8000 as a trade-in allowance, so Willie spends $7000 every other year for a car. Willie keeps accurate records of his expenses, which total 32.3¢ per mile. Willie's employer has two plans to reimburse car expenses:
(A)Actual expenses: Willie will receive all his oper-ating expenses, and $3500 each year for the car's decline in value.
(B) Standard mileage rate: Willie will receive 56.5 ¢per mile but no operating expenses and no depre-ciation allowance.
If Willie travels 18,000 miles per year, which method gives him the larger reimbursement? At what annual mileage do the two methods give the same reimbursement?
