Jonathon and his family were negotiating a lease for commercial premises to be used for their Italian restaurant. Part of the negotiation concerned the ability of Jonathon to demolish a wall in order to remodel the interior and build a pizza oven. The landlord shook Jonathon’s hand and told him they had a deal and that he could go ahead and get started. Jonathon took out a large bank loan to finance the remodelling. Four weeks later, Jonathon received a letter from the landlord indicating that he did not intend to proceed with the lease. Jonathon has already spent $100,000 on the remodelling but he has not received a signed a lease as yet. Since there is no breach of contract, does Jonathon have any other recourse in equity?
Paolo lives in Philadelphia and operates a small company selling scooters. On average, he receives $712,000 per year from selling scooters. Out of this revenue from sales, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $412,000. He also pays several utility companies, as well as his employees wages totaling $269,000. He owns the building that houses his storefront; if he choose to rent it out, he would receive a yearly amount of $1,000 in rent. Assume there is no depreciation in the value of his property over the year.

There are no other costs faced by Paolo in running this scooter company. (Questions in images)

Kim works as a physiotherapist. She currently earns a salary of $6479 per month. The only costs associated with working as a physiotherapist are fixed costs (e.g. maintaining her licence to practice physiotherapy) of $289 per year. Due to changes in the health care sector, Kim is deciding whether she should become a general practitioner instead. She estimates her salary as a general practitioner will be $8563 per month. What is Kim's monthly economic loss from working as a physiotherapist? Assume the same fixed costs apply to both the physiotherapist and general practitioner options, because the licences for physiotherapists and general practitioners cost the same amount of money. Answer as a positive number to the nearest whole value (with no decimal places, $or - signs, spaces or commas).
A developer of high-priced executive tract homes has offered you $1000 per acre for the 500 acres of Vermont countryside you inherited from your Aunt Prudence. The Vermont Land Trust makes a counter offer of $500 per acre for the development rights to the land. By selling off the development rights only, you get to keep title to the land, and can use it for commercial purposes so long as these uses don't involve clearing the land of its forest. You know that you can continue Prudence's maple sugar operations, and you understand that you can probably collect hunting fees annually from private individuals wishing to use your land. How much would you and your heirs in perpetuity have to collect annually as a result of these low impact uses (maple sugaring and hunting) in order for you to agree to sell the development rights to the Vermont Land Trust, assuming that you wish to maximize your revenues from Aunt Prudence's estate, and that your discount rate is 5%? Please format your answer…
