It has been open for over a year now and has earned itself rave reviews in the local press and from its regular customers who just cannot get enough of her delicious varieties of cupcakes. One such customer, who stopped by on a whim in the café’s first week of business, is Ross. After a whirlwind courtship, Ross, a self-employed web designer, proposed, and Jamie Lee agreed to be his wife.   The bungalow that Jamie Lee has been renting for the past five years is too small for the soon-to-be newlyweds, so Jamie Lee and Ross have purchased a brand new three-bedroom, 2 ½ bath home in a quiet neighborhood for $293,000.   The provided information and the table below to calculate the affordable mortgage amount that would be…

Jared and Melissa are married. They have owned their primary residence for 10 years and have lived in it the entire time. They paid $350,000 for the house and land and it is now worth $ 900,000. Due to the property's prime location in Stephenville, the City of Stephenville has decided to "take" the property and turn it into a public park and venue. The City sends Jared and Melissa a letter offering to buy the property for $800,000. Jared and Melissa reject the offer and the case goes to trial where a judge determines the value to be $950,000 and orders the City to pay that amount for the property it claimed using eminent domain. After Jared and Melissa receive the $950,000, they decide not to buy a new house and instead they live in their camper and travel around the country. Do Jared and Melissa have to pay tax on the money they received? Be sure to fully explain your analysis.

Scarlett is considering the purchase of a new Wolf gas range by Sub-Zero Group, Inc. to increase the quality of the food served in her restaurant. It will also enhance the cooking experience for her and her chefs, as they won't have to fuss with the finicky electric burners they currently use. However, the new range is expensive. It will cost $9,920 to buy and properly install. On the upside, it should last for at least 7 years, at which time Scarlett may consider trading it in for another new range. While her operating costs will not decrease as a result of this purchase, Scarlett will be able to generate additional gross margin of at least $1,510 in the first year. After that, she expects the additional gross margin to grow by 10% each year for the next 4 years, at which point it will become stable for the remainder of the 7- year life. She believes the new range will be worth $1,010 at the end of this 7-year period. Her current range can be salvaged today for $250. Click here to…

AN Daniel and Darnell are considering offering a doggy daycare service. After some research, Daniel and Darnell found several pet daycare facilities in their area; but they were expensive! Further, the facili- ties were sterile and didn't provide for a "homey" or fun environment for their pets. Daniel and Damell felt they could easily solve this problem. Daniel's home would be the location for their business since it already had a fenced-in yard a nd is located two blocks from a dog park. Estimated costs for building an outdoor shelter, plus other licensing and business start-up costs, are as follows. Shelter (depreciated over 7 years) $500 per year Licensing & other annual costs $750 per year $15 per hour $15 per day per dog Hourly wage for hired labor; planned for only 200 hours per year Variable costs for food Estimated volume of dogs per day (Assume business is open 5 days a week) Which pricing strategy, target costing or cost-plus, would be more appropriate for this company,…

Tony was daydreaming of those days a bit as he and Suzie jogged along a nature trail and came across a wonderful piece of property for sale. He turned to Suzie and said, “I’ve always wanted to start a camp where families could get away and spend some quality time together. If we just had the money, I know this would be the perfect place.” On November 1, 2022, Great Adventures purchased the land by issuing a $540,000, 6%, 10-year installment note to the seller. Payments of $5,995 are required at the end of each month over the life of the 10-year loan.

I’m expecting!” They decided right then, if it was a boy, they would name…
