Joan Frazier was just hired as an employee by SJR Restaurants, Inc., a Delaware Corporation domiciled in Colorado. Ms. Frazier maintains a residence in Orange County, California, so her children may attend the schools of her choice and so that her husband may be employed there as a leading plastic surgeon.

SJR has just opened three (3) restaurants in Utah, Nevada, and Idaho. SJR requires Ms. Frazier set up the general ledger accounting system at each restaurant. SJR estimates it will take Ms. Frazier 14 months of continuous, full time work (40 hours per week, 4 weeks per month) to set up the systems. SJR requires Ms. Frazier to rotate her time. That is, to spend time at each restaurant at least once a calendar quarter. Each restaurant has an office for the accounting function, although the offices are so small that Ms. Frazier does a majority of her work from hotel rooms near the restaurants.

Ms. Frazier reports back electronically to SJR. Ms. Frazier is never required to go to Colorado. SJR does not reimburse Ms. Frazier for her lodging, travel, or meal expenses.

May Ms. Frazier deduct lodging, travel, and meal expenses?

John recently graduated from the three-year accounting program at George Brown College. During his co-op term he worked for a small audit firm and decided to make that his career. After graduation, he was hired by Rowlands Marcellin and Khan, LLP, a national audit firm.

On starting, John spent the first day meeting the staff and partners in his office. His staff manager took John to lunch for a casual conversation. During the lunch they talked about a lot of subjects, none of which were related to auditing. After lunch, John began his training and trained the entire first week.

The second week, John went with two other staff to audit a radio station in Kingston, east of Toronto. The team stayed in a hotel for three nights and ate in restaurants. During the meals, John was eager to ask questions about the audit, but the other team members said that they did not want to talk about work. After the meal, though, both team members told John to ask anything he would like to help him understand the client better.

John completed the sections testing controls over purchases, payables, and cash disbursements. He also did work on sales and revenue. As he completed each section, his work was carefully reviewed by the Senior Associate, who had one year of experience. John was unhappy that he made so many careless mistakes, but the senior said that it was normal for a person’s first audit. His work was also reviewed by the Manager who found no additional corrections. The Manager was interested in finding out what John had learned about auditing and how it was different from his classes. John replied that the work was not as hard as he thought, but that it was much more precise. The manager told John that that had been her experience as well.

The next day, the team returned to Toronto. John’s next assignment would for a company that imported chemicals from China. John spent the rest of the week reading trade journals about chemical importing.

ABC company is considering producing a new range of smartphones that will require it to build a new factory. The project itself will go for 20 years. Feasibility studies have been done on the factory which cost $5 million. The studies have found the following:

1. The factory will cost $25 million and will have a useful life of 25 years.

2. The land where the factory will go is currently used as a carpark for workers and it is assumed that the company will have to pay $50000 per year for their workers to park in a nearby carpark.

3. The factory will be depreciated on a straight line basis and will have a salvage value of $0 but it is believed that most of it can be sold for scrap and parts after 20 years (at the end of the project) for $500000.

4. Due to the nature of the business they are in, they will have to perform some environmental tests to make sure that some of the chemicals they are using are not entering the ground water around the factory. These tests will be performed every 5 years and initially cost $625000 (in five years) and then increase at the rate of inflation which is predicted to be 2.5% per year.

5. Through the building of this factory and the selling of the phones it produces, it’s revenue will increase by $5 million in year 1 and then by 7% per year for 10 years and then decrease by 2% until the end of the project.

6. The extra costs that the company accrues per year due to the project are $400000 for labour, $45000 for overhead like power and water bills and marketing costs for the new line of phones will be $500000 per year but will decrease by 10% per year as the phone gains greater penetration. It is also predicted that labour costs will increase by 2% per year due to inflation.

7. The company’s current cost of capital is 5% per year.

8. The tax rate is 30%.

9. The project requires an initial investment in working capital of $1000000 and will be increased by 5% for the first 5 years of the project and then does not change until the end of the project. It is returned in year 20Use the above information to answer the following.

Use the above information to answer the following.

A. Calculate the free cash flows that come from this project for the 20 years it is operational.

B. Calculate the NPV, IRR & payback period of the project. Should they go ahead with the project?

C. Calculate the break-even point for the following variables:

1. The overhead.
2. The initial yearly revenue.
3. The initial labour cost.
4. The initial advertising cost.
