In each year the objective probability that the summer is hot for 12 weeks is 65% and warm for 6 weeks 35%. The interest rate in the economy is 8% in both years.

Aston Blue will pay a dividend of $110,000 at the end of each year of operations.

Assume that in 2020 that the season is hot for 12 weeks.

B. Determine the following items that would appear on the December 31, 2020 financial statements: Cash, equipment, total assets, common shares, retained earnings, net income/loss.

C. Assuming that Aston Blue paid the present value for the equipment, calculate the net income/loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 on a historical cost basis. The equipment is amortized on a straight-line basis.
