Jonathan Lark's lifelong dream is to own a restaurant. He owns a premium site for a restaurant across the street from the local
university. Now he needs to decide what kind of restaurant to open.
Recently, Jonathan began to investigate one of the fastest growing fast-food franchises in the country, Pepper Roni Pizza. A Pepper
Roni Pizza franchise costs $81.600, an amount that is amortized over 15 years. As a franchisce, Jonathan would need to adhere to
the company's building specifications. The building would cost an estimated $1.224,000 and would have a $136,000 salvage value
at the end of its 15-year life. The restaurant equipment (fryers, steam tables, booths, counters) is sold as a package by the corporate
office at a cost of $200.000, will have a salvage value of $27.200 at the end of its five-year life, and must be replaced every five
years
Jonathan estimates the annual revenue from a Pepper Roni Pizza tranchise at $2,584.000. Food costs typically run 36% of revenue.

- Analyze the case below and answer the questions thereafter. An ABM graduate named Jason decided to start a bakery business in Cateel, Davao Oriental. Their house is in the heart of the Poblacion and so his mother allowed him to use a spare portion of their house for his bakeshop. For his startup capital, he loaned P200,000 from his father. He then proceeded to purchase an oven, a mixer and other related equipment, machines and tools for his baking needs. He also purchased raw materials such as flour, sugar, and all sort of baking supplies. Because it is the only bakeshop operating in town, the sale of bakery products rises steeply. In order for him to keep track of sales and expenses, he applied what he learned in Senior High School about the importance of record keeping. He uses a journal and a ledger for record keeping purposes. As his business continues to grow, he sees the opportunity to borrow bigger capital from the bank. The bank requires a Financial Report showing the health…arrow_forwardMr. Nelson wants to purchase a 60-inch HD television set with all the bells and whistles so that he can watch the World Quidditch Championship occurring exactly one year from now.

- Your friend, Mark, owns the dog sitting company, Mark’s Dogs, out of his home, watching dogs a maximum of 5 dogs at a time at his home, with the dog owners dropping the dogs at his home. Terms of service require payment in cash or check when the owner retrieves the dog. Mark’s business has grown, and Mark will be moving into an empty storefront which is large enough for him to watch 20 dogs at a time. Regarding this expansion, he will be moving from a cash only business to an accrual-based business. Briefly explain to Mark the dual entry system of accounting. Inform Mark as to the new accounts which are created when a business moves from a cash-only to an accrual business. Would the nature of Mark’s business require any period end adjustments?

- How Is He Doing? Ted Mohr had worked as a mid-level manager for a large retail chain with a regional headquarters in Fairfield County, Connecticut. For over fifteen years he had commuted on I95, and worried that too much of his family time was spent in traffic jams. Two years ago he acted on one of his dreams and relocated to New Hampshire to open a restaurant and novelty shop. The shop had been in its current location for over twelve years and had achieved a reputation for service and a wide range of tourist novelties. Ted ran the operations of the store, and his wife handled all the office and administrative functions. In the past year he had withdrawn $35,000 from the business for living expenses. During next year’s slow season he hoped that he and his wife would be able to take at least four weeks as a vacation.
