Australian Taxation

Abby runs a printing business and leases a building for which she pays rent of $75,000 per annum. During the year ended 30 June 2020, Abby incurred the following expenses: Painting of the exterior of the building at a cost of $12,000. The original paintwork was peeling and mouldy and did not represent the kind of look Abby wanted for her business. Re-surfacing of the dirt car park with a new non-slip cement to fill in pot-holes and create a safer environment for her customers $8,000 Replace torn awning over the front door for $1,500. The replacement awning was made of the same material as the original awning. Payment of $22,000 for a commercial embroidery machine so that Abby could introduce clothing design and printing into her business. The machine was purchased on 10 February 2020 and installed on 26 February 2020. Advise Abby if the expenses would be deductible with reference to relevant statute or other supporting documents.

Computer Dynamics (p. 175 of your textbook) is a microcomputer software development company that has a 300-computer network. The company is located in three adjacent five-story buildings in an office park, with about 100 computers in each building. The LANs in each building are similar, but one building has the data center on the second floor. There are no other office locations. The current network is poorly designed for its current needs and must be completely replaced.

1. Develop a logical design for this enterprise campus that considers the seven network architecture components. There are no other campuses, so you can omit WAN access.

2. Document the assumptions you made in approaching this design.

3. Explain why you have designed the network in this way. Make sure your answers are numbered based on the question presented. Submit as a Microsoft Word document to the correct dropbox by the due date and time posted on the D2L course calendar.

1. Why is it that lethal recessive alleles remain in the human gene pool, rather than just disappearing because of their unfavorable phenotype for homozygous recessives?

2. Scenario: A sudden flood of a large area around the Mississippi River occurs. In some local populations of a species of insects, there is greater buoyancy and survival of some individuals due to having the double recessive genotype of a gene that allowed them to accumulate more lipids to float. A year after the flood, the same and displaced local populations of the insects were reduced in size and all biased in allele frequencies toward greater frequency of the recessive allele compared to the original population’s allelic frequencies. Which of the forces that affect populations seems to have had the strongest effect?

3. Do you think the National Park Service made the correct decision not to permit a genetic rescue of the Isle Royale wolves in 2015, or should new individuals be introduced? Provide reasoning for your answer (as a biologist).

Coffee is a leading export from several developing countries. When coffee prices are high, farmers often clear forest to plant more coffee trees. Here are data on prices paid to coffee growers in Indonesia and the rate of deforestation in a national park that lies in a coffee-producing region for five years: Price(cents per pound) Deforestation (percent) 29 0.49 40 1.59 54 1.69 55 1.82 72 3.10

(a) Make a scatterplot. What is the explanatory variable? What kind of pattern does your plot show? (b) Find the correlation r step-by-step. That is, find the mean and standard deviation of the two variables. Then find the five standardized values for each variable and use the formula for r. Explain how your value for r matches your graph in (a). (c) Now enter these data into your calculator or Excel and use the correlation function to find r. Check that you get the same result as in (b).

-Pick two of the principles of green chemistry, state which 2 you chose and show how they connect to your life or intended profession. Please be very clear (as in overtly) as to which two you are selecting so that I am sure to recognize the connections you are making.

-How has the Tragedy of the Commons affected you or your family? For example, when one of the creators of this course (Ted Picciotto) was younger, he and his father would see quail frequently in the state park near their home. Since then they have all but disappeared. Only recently has the population begin to rebound very slightly. If you are not old enough to remember a change in the environment, interview a parent or grandparent if possible.

-How have your studies to date prepared you for the future world in which you live? In what ways do you think your study of chemistry will prepare you?

Which of these items would be considered sexual harassment in the eyes of the law?

Which “type” of harassment is it:   Quid Pro Quo or Hostile Environment?  

1. A client pressures a salesperson for dates and sexual favors in exchange for a large purchase.

2. A supervisor requires that her assistant, a male, stay with her in her hotel room while they are out of town at a conference stating: “If you won’t agree to help me save expenses, I’ll find a new assistant who will.”

3. A male has asked two female co-workers to stop embarrassing him by telling jokes of a sexual nature and sharing their sexual fantasies, but they continue, telling him “you should appreciate the free advice!”

4. When she asked her co-workers to clean up their language, they no longer spoke directly to her but continued to use demeaning terms with each other, especially when referring to her within her earshot.

Strategic Planning in Health Care Organizations

Porter’s Five Forces focus on competitive forces that affect an organization. In many industries, including the healthcare industry, there are complementary products and services that add values to consumers. For example, the airline and hotel industries are complementary to each other and create values to travelers by transporting them and housing them during their vacations or business trips. It is also common for these complementary businesses to enter into a strategic alliance to promote each other’s products or services. *Give an example of a complementary product or service (“complementor”) in the healthcare industry * Explain why the

“complementors” add values and whether a business alliance between these two complementary businesses is a sound strategic move

John is your client and has come to you to prepare his tax return. During the 2018-19 financial year, John disposed of the following assets:

(a) A two-storey residence at Stuart Park which he acquired in May 1991. In 1995 John vacated the premises to work in Japan for three years, during this period the property was rented. Other than the 3 year period, John has lived in the property as his residence. He paid $370,000 to purchase the property and received $840,000 on 27 June 2019, after the real estate agent deducted commissions of $10,000. (b) John acquired BHP shares on 15 July 2018 for $25,000. He sold those shares on 2 May 2019 for $40,000.

REQUIRED:

Calculate John’s Capital Gain, subject to Tax for the year ending 30 June 2019. Provide justification for your calculations using legislation and case law.

Many U.S. Firms Use Leases Leasing is big business for U.S. companies. For example, business investment in equipment in a recent year totaled $709 billion. Leasing accounted for about 31% of all business investment ($218 billion). Who does the most leasing? Interestingly major banks, such as Continental Bank, J.P. Morgan Leasing, and US Bancorp Equipment Finance, are the major lessors. Also, many companies have established separate leasing companies, such as Boeing Capital Corporation, Dell Financial Services, and John Deere Capital Corporation. And, as an excellent example of the magnitude of leasing, leased planes account for nearly 40% of the U.S. fleet of commercial airlines. In addition, leasing is becoming increasingly common in the hotel industry. Marriott, Hilton, and InterContinental are increasingly choosing to lease hotels that are owned by someone else. Why might airline managers choose to lease rather than purchase their planes?
