______     6.      You are trying to decide whether to run your business as a corporation or as an individual owner (for example, as a “sole proprietorship”). One of the factors is the problem of double taxation. Assume that the corporate income tax rate is 35%, the individual income tax rate on dividend income is 15%, and the individual income tax rate on other income is 39.6%. (Note – use these tax rates. Don’t use the actual tax rate schedule.) The business is expected to generate $625,000 of taxable income. Similar to the example given in class, assume that the amount of dividend income is equal to the corporate after-tax cash flow. How much more after-tax cash flow will you have if you run the business as a sole proprietorship rather than as a corporation? Hint: fill out the following table to help answer the question.

Question 1:

Jaycar, an electronics store sponsors the Canterbury Bulldogs, a team that competes in the NRL. An individual store owner is looking to promote the sale of their 160W solar panels and is planning to offer a discount on the price of the panels from Monday to Friday based on the number of home games won in the past weekend of NRL. The owner of the store has asked us to do some analysis of the promotion assuming the following:

(a) The number of wins each weekend out of eight games is a binomial random variable with a probability of the home team winning being equal to p.

(b) The number of solar panels normally sold from Monday to Friday is a Poisson random variable with mean units sold equal to λ.

(c) The number of wins in a weekend for home teams in the NRL and the number of solar panels sold from Monday to Friday are independent.

Question 1 A):

If we let X represent the number of home team wins out of eight games in a weekend of NRL, what will the mean and variance of X be in terms of p.

Question 1 B):

If we let Y represent the number of 160W solar panels sold from Monday to Fridays, what will the mean and variance of Y be in terms of λ.

Question 1C):

The “cost” of the promotion will be a new random variable that is a function of:

the number of home wins over the weekend;

the number of solar panels that will be sold; and the discount offered per game. If we let the cost be a new random variable such that Z = a*X*Y , find the mean and variance of Z. Hint: The variables are assumed to be independent.

The variance of the product of independent variables is given by

Var( XY ) = (E( X))^2*Var( Y ) + (E( Y ))^2*Var(X) + Var(X)*Var( Y ),

and Var(c*X) = c^2*Var(X).

The Montana Movie Theatre Company (Montana) operates movie theatres in 15 different towns throughout western Montana, including in Missoula, a city of 60,000 people with a major state university. In Missoula, Montana owns and operates five movie theatres with a total of 38 screens. Montana operates the only theatre in Missoula and the theatres within a 30-mile radius around Missoula. Montana charges $6 for matinee movie times and $8.50 for evening movies. These prices are about 10% higher than the prices charged around most of the rest of the state. There are no discount ticket prices of any type for senior citizens, students, or any other group. Most movie theatres around the rest of the state offer some, if not all, special individual or group discounts.

Several other movie theatre companies have sought to build movie theatres in Missoula over the last 10 years. Each of these efforts has failed. In addition, Montana has actively lobbied city authorities to keep out any other movie theatre companies.

4. What other information would you need as a forensic accountant involved in this type of situation defending Montana in a monopoly-related lawsuit? Suing Montana in a monopoly-related lawsuit?

5. What are the services that a forensic accountant, as an expert witness, might be asked to provide in a dispute involving the above scenario defending Montana? Or suing Montana?
