we faced an unprecedented downfall in oil prices all around the
world
during the first 5 months of 2020. Lots of industries have been
affected and
supply chains have been altered consequently. Analyze how oil price
fall can
affect industries in Canada post Covid-19 as an environmental force
and explain
your response within the context of transportation industry
bringing three major
reasons to support your answer.
2. Since 2010 housing market in BC is on the never ending price
rise. Vancouver has
faced the highest price boom ever since then and the average rental
apartments in
the city has risen to the unprecedented $2300.00 rent. Discuss the
reasons behind
the price surges considering the balance of supply and demand in
the market and
predict how the market will respond post Covid-19. Try to focus on
the driving
forces behind the rise and the other current environmental factors
which will or
may come to effect post Covid-19.
3. 2020 has been rough to world’s economy so far. NAFTA has
turned to USMCA and
BREXIT happened at the turn of the decade. J. Bolsonaro a
conservative figure
has come to power in Brazil and Parliament in Ottawa has seen more
seats
slipped away from the Liberals towards the conservatives. All of
these actions
have the common ground for nationalism and isolation right at the
time we need
unity more than ever to fight the man made disasters such as
climate change,
pollution, and the pandemic. Nations separating from each other and
running for
their own good regardless of the overall goodwill of the
international community.
Discuss how these actions and behaviours can cause havoc in
international scale
and what will be the aftermaths of such actions.
4. July 2020 will be the month with fewer restrictions on airline
industry. Seems like
airline industry has gained their ground back from the government
and trying to
fill for the cumulated losses they faced during the pandemic. We
will see more
number of international flights, either essential or nonessential,
arriving at the
airports and potentially become a threat. What would be your stand
in this balance
of power between the federal government and the airline industries
thriving for
profit. Bring three major grounds for your reasoning considering
the following
factors: airlines are not necessarily private corporations, federal
government is
responsible for the health of the citizens and residents, federal
government is
responsible to provide fair competition ground for the corporations
to compete,
and there is no clear distinction between essential and non
essential travel yet.

Corporate Formation
Steve and Betty Crespi are married and have a gifted son, David, aged 13. While Steve was an engineer, he started Crespi Creations in 2010 as the proprietor. Through Crespi Creations, Steve bought, refurnished and resold vintage furniture from flea markets for a profit.
David, fascinated with the computer since an early age, used an online legal service, and easily and on his own, incorporated Crespi Creations in 2010. One day, the corporation paperwork arrived in the mail and Steve was furious when he learned what his young son, David, did. Steve had no idea and clearly did not give David permission or authority to do that. David freely offered an impish apology. Steve, though, did not undo the corporation but instead filed corporate annual reports with his home state.
In the ensuing years, the Crespi’s bought old and vintage furniture to refinish at a profit although they incurred losses in the first two years. They used their personal credit cards and checking accounts for Crespi Creations’ business expenses and to deposit income earned. They never kept any records for Crespi Creations.
Steve and Betty prepared and filed Forms 1040 U.S. Individual Income Tax Returns, for 2010 and 2011 in addition to a Schedule C, Profit or Loss From Business that identified the principal business of Crespi Creations as “Refinsih Furniture.” The Crespi’s reported Schedule C losses of $21,513 for 2010 and $14,066 for 2011. They reported many business expenses but did not keep any logs for any of the expenses. They did retain their credit card statements however.
The IRS examined the 2010 and 2011 tax returns of the Crespi’s and issued a notice of deficiency. The IRS removed the Schedule C amounts (losses) and adjusted the tax liability, asserting that Crespi Creations was a corporation not a sole proprietorship able to use a Schedule C.
The Crespi’s quickly contacted you to understand the issues. Prepare a memo addressed to Steve and Betty Crespi to explain whether the Crespi’s were allowed to deduct the Crespi Creations expenses on their personal income tax return. You may consult the following cases.
?Moline Properties., Inc. v. Commissioner, 319 U.S. 436, 438 (1943)
Rochlani v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2015-174
Your memo should be fully developed, use logical reasoning, grammar and punctuation. First, state the issue. Provide a brief statement of facts, a discussion of the factors and end with a conclusion.
