His best friend Ronald Robinson has a Bachelor degree in Marketing, an MBA, and has innovative ways of marketing products. Paul does not have a lot of money, but his cousin Sara Sanders is millionaire after hitting it big with the house boom and knowing when to stop investing. Paul thinks that with his inventions, Ronald’s business skills, and Sara’s money, they can make it big. Paul decides to create a business with these individuals and asks you for help with the details. You must give him advice on what is the best business for him to form? Why? Make sure to include a description of the business model that would be best for him, as well as a description of the other business models and why they would not be as good as the one you advised him. Also make sure to cover all of the steps that he must follow in order to form that particular type of business.

Paul is upset because other individuals have been attempting to follow in his footsteps and are creating similar businesses.

He hopes that that way he could veer off his competitors and then substantially increase the prices so that he can make up for the loss profits. Can Paul do this? Why or why not?

Would Yogurt Vi use job costing or process costing in calculating the cost of a customer's cup of frozen yogurt and toppings?

Yogurt Vi (pronounced vee) is a frozen yogurt restaurant with several locations in Ohio. Customers will select the flavor of frozen yogurt they want and fill their cup from the self-serve machine with the desired amount of the frozen yogurt. Next the customer will proceed to the toppings bar, where they can select from a large variety of toppings including strawberries, kiwis, gummy bears, chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, M&M candies, sprinkles, salted caramels, and many other toppings. Once the customer has finished adding toppings, the customer then proceeds to the cash register where the cup of frozen yogurt and toppings is weighed. The customer is charged a flat fee of $0.48 per ounce.

Questions
