In June 2021, the demand for COVID testing increased exponentially due to a pick in the third wave of the Corona virus disease. The government has put out an offer to subsidy testing at private clinics and hospitals to make access to testing more accessible and to lessen the burden on state resources. The subsidy will only be provided to certain medical practices.
Fortunately, the chair of the board, who is also the CEO and a CA(NAM) at a local private medical practice is good friends with the government official who is overseeing the process of allocating the subsidies. The subsidy would substantially decrease the cost of sales for the test kits. Since the bonuses this year are driven primarily by profit after tax all of management has signed off on taking the government official on trip. The company thus paid for the government official and his children to go and attend the Kanye West concert in America, all expenses paid.

Peter Kanakarian has decided to open a printing shop. He has secured two contracts: (1) a five-year contract to print a popular regional magazine (5,000 copies each month), and (2) a three-year agreement to print tourist brochures for the province (10,000 brochures per month).
Peter has rented a building for $1,400 per month. His printing equipment was purchased for $40,000 and has a life expectancy of 20,000 hours with no salvage value. Depreciation is assigned to a period based on the hours of usage. Peter has scheduled the delivery of the products so that two production runs are needed. In the first run, the equipment is prepared for the magazine printing. In the second run, the equipment is reconfigured for brochure printing. It takes twice as long to configure the equipment for the magazine setup as it does for the brochure setup. The total setup costs per month are $600.
Insurance costs for the building and equipment are $140 per month. Power to operate the printing equipment is strongly related to machine usage. The printing equipment causes virtually all the power costs. Power costs will run $350 per month. Printing materials will cost $0.40 per copy for the magazine and $0.08 per copy for the brochure. Peter will hire workers to run the presses as needed (part-time workers are easy to hire). He must pay $10 per hour. Each worker can produce 20 copies of the magazine per printing hour or 100 copies of the brochure. Distribution costs are $500 per month. Peter will receive a salary of $1,500 per month. He is responsible for personnel, accounting, sales, and production—in effect, he is responsible for administering all aspects of the business.
