Andrew has decided to open an online store that sells home and garden products. After searching around, he chooses the software
company Initech to provide the software for his website since their product required the least amount of specialized investments for
him to use it. They agreed upon price of $2,000. To use Initech's software, Andrew makes $1,200 in sunk capital investments and
spends 55 hours learning how to use Initech's software, which is very different from other software packages. Both Andrew and Initech
view Andrew's time as worth $26 per hour and Initech is fully aware of the investments Andrew must make to use their product. After
Andrew's investments were made, Initech came to Andrew and asked for more money.
What do you think is the new price Initech requested Andrew to pay?

Denai met Lance Finney, who had been seeking a small plot of rural property to rent. After several meetings, Denai invited Finney to live on a corner of her land in exchange for Finney’s assistance in cutting wood and tending her property. Denai agreed to store Finney’s sailboat in her barn. With Denai’s consent, Finney constructed a concrete and oak foundation on Denai’s property and purchased a 190-square-foot dome from Dome Baja for $3,395. The dome was shipped by Doty Express, a transportation company licensed to serve the public. When it arrived, Finney installed the dome frame and fabric exterior so that the dome was detachable from the foundation. A year after Finney installed the dome, Denai wrote Finney a note stating, “I’ve decided to give you four acres of land surrounding your dome as drawn on this map.” This gift violated no local land-use…arrow_forwardAlthough Goldman Sachs paid Heather $110,000.00 per year, she was not satisfied with her job.

- The buyer of a piece of real estate is often given the option of buying down the loan. This option gives the buyer a choice of loan terms in which various combinations of interest rates and discount points are offered. The choice of how many points and what rate is optimal is often a matter of how long the buyer intends to keep the property. Darrell Frye is planning to buy an office building at a cost of $988,000. He must pay 10% down and has a choice of financing terms. He can select from a 7% 30-year loan and pay 4 discount points, a 7.25% 30-year loan and pay 3 discount points, or a 7.5% 30-year loan and pay 2 discount points. Darrell expects to hold the building for four years and then sell it. Except for the three rate and discount point combinations, all other costs of purchasing and selling are fixed and identical. 1. If Darrell chooses the 2-point 7.5% loan, what will be his total outlay in points and payment after 48months?

Rent and utilities eat up most of her paycheck, so when something unexpected happens, she is often short. Last week, her car broke down but she was already way behind in credit card payments. Yesterday, a collections guy called and said that if she didn't pay at least $100 right away, she’d be taken to court. When she got off the phone, she started to cry. Her friend Kathy asked her what was wrong. Marissa described to her how bad her financial situation is, and Kathy thought that Marissa might qualify for food stamps. Marissa has a full-time job so she isn't sure that she’ll qualify, and even if she does, she isn’t sure it will help too much. ) How is it possible that someone making almost 25% more than the minimum wage, and working full-time, qualifies for food assistance? Fully explain.arrow_forwardIn early 2008, you purchased and remodeled a 120 - room hotel to handle the increased number of conventions coming to town. By mid-2008, it became apparent that the recession would kill the demand for conventions. Now, you forecast that you will be able to sell only 10,000 room - nights, which cost $80 per room per night to service. You spent $20.00 million on the hotel in 2008, and your cost of capital is 25%. The current going price to sell the hotel is $15 million. If the estimated demand is 10,000 room - nights, the break - even price is $ per room, per night. (Hint: Remember that the cost of capital is the opportunity cost, or true cost, of making an investment.)arrow_forward
- Farah owned an antique store that specialised in rare porcelain bowl. When she opened the business in 2000, it was at a shop in an eastern suburb of Melbourne. In 2010 she started to advertise on the Internet and by 2017 the business had grown to the point where she needed help to keep the business going. After a family discussion one night at the kitchen table in Mei 2017, it was agreed that Farah would probably keep the business going for another couple of years and then retire. Kasim, her youngest son and aged 20, would work in the shop as long as was needed and in return, he would receive any unsold bowl. When Margaret retired at the end of 2020, she decided that she would give the unsold stock to charity and they could auction it and keep the proceeds. Suggest some advice to Kasim according to this case.arrow_forwardThe small family company that you manage has invested $35,000 in developing a new product, but the development is not quite finished.

Second, you can invest the money in the common stock of a high-tech company. Price is expected to grow by 20 percent a year, but this option is very risky. Third, you can put the money into a three-year deposit certificate with a local bank and receive 6 percent annually. The third alternative carries little risk. a.
