Without the assistance of a ghost writer, she writes a story and assigns all her right, title and interest in the copyright for $10,000 to the Daily Terror. The story is published and she is paid. She has never written a story before. She also sells the manuscript to the Mitchell Library for $5,000 and several photographs that she took while mountain climbing for which she receives $2,000.
Requirement:
Discuss whether or not the three payments are income from personal exertion. Would your answer differ if she wrote the story for her own satisfaction and only decided to sell it later?
Question 2 (5 marks)
Your client is a parent who lent $40,000 to her son to provide a short-term housing loan. The agreement is that the son will repay $50,000 at the end of five years.
Reconsider this question in light of the following facts. The loan was made to the son without any formal agreement and without any security provided for the sum lent. In addition, the client (the mother) has informed you that she told her son that he need not pay interest. However, the son repaid the full amount after two years and included in his payment an additional amount which was equal to 5% pa on the amount borrowed. Only one cheque was presented for the total amount.
Requirement:
Discuss the effect on the assessable income of the parent.

QUESTION 2 (20 Marks)
Marlin Fishing Pty Ltd carries on the business of commercial fishing. The company is run
by 4 directors; Michael and his three (3) sons Dan, Terence and Pat. They are also the only shareholders and hold equal interests.
The company has a constitution that requires that all contracts to be entered into on behalf of the company must in the first instance be approved by a meeting of the directors and that the company seal should be affixed. The constitution expressed that when the company seal was affixed it needed to be accompanied by the signatures of two (2) directors.
Michael discovers a new boat for sale which would considerably improve the ability of the
fishermen to stay at sea longer and better keep the catch of fish. He decides to purchase the
boat on behalf of the company believing that his sons would agree with the decision. He dealt with a friend of his who ran Commercial Vessels Pty Ltd. His friend knew what Michael did and assumed he ran the family commercial fishing business, so he was very happy to deal with him. Michael simply signed the contract: ‘Michael, for and on behalf of, Marlin Fishing Pty Ltd’.
When Dan, Terence and Pat learned of the purchase of the new boat they refuse to ratify the
contract and do not wish to spend the company funds on such a vessel at this time. Advise
the sons whether the company will be bound by the contract and also identify any possible consequences for Michael.

Re: Numerous Accounting Issues
From: Mary McCarthy [mary.mccarthy@Mccarthyscafes.com.au] Sent: Monday, 1 August 2016 at 8.30am
To: Peter.Piper@PiperPepper.com.au
Cc: Kate Peterson[kate.peterson@Mccarthyscafes.com.au]
Attachment: Issues Raised by the Board
Dear Peter,
Thanks for your letter suggesting we meet to plan the year end accounting work for the financial year ending 31 December 2016
There are quite a few issues that the board of directors has raised with me in relation to the financial statements and I have noted them below for your response. Some of the directors are concerned about these issues as the company has just moved from being a proprietary company to a public company (with effect from 1 March 2016), and they think this changes matters.
To assist us in our decision making process could you please make sure that any relevant sources such as the AASBs, Corporations Act, reference books, journal articles, and/or websites are referenced so that the accounting team here could check them out when evaluating your answer. If you could kindly copy the newly appointed Financial Controller, Kate Peterson in on your response she could start the review process.
I must confess I am not too worried about it as I am sure that all we need to do is to prepare the financial statements as we did last year. That’s correct isn’t it? I will be overseas at the Olympics in Rio and will then go on a marketing trip until the end of September but look forward to hearing from you by the time I get back.
Best wishes and regards
Mary McCarthy Managing Director, McCarthy’s Cafes Ltd
Suite 6889, Level 18, Cafe Plaza Building

Issue 1:

ATTACHMENT McCarthy’s Cafes Ltd
Issues raised by the Board of Directors
In April 2016 the company purchased a segment of another business from Karen’s Coffees Ltd and paid
$ 950 000 for it. Karen’s Coffees is a coffee bean roasting business and the book value of the net assets acquired amounted to $ 620 000. We are unsure as to how we should record this transaction in our books
of account. Margaret who used to write up the books for us mentioned that the difference was “goodwill”
and that we should show it in our books as an asset, namely goodwill. However Kate thinks we should treat this quite differently and has told the board of directors that the business segment we purchased
(namely, coffee bean roasting) may not be as successful as we think. She thinks that we may have
overpaid for the business and is suggesting we evaluate the business segment as a cash generating unit and consider the need to impair it. The board is quite confused and would like very clear guidelines about this matter.
Issue 2:
According to the revised budgeted profit and loss statement for the year ending 31 December 2016 it would appear that the company may not make the previously budgeted profit of $ 1,250,000 and will fall short by about 10% to 15%. One of the directors pointed out that the company had land (2 blocks) purchased in the 1960s and that the actual value of the land was very much more than the amount stated on the balance sheet. It was then suggested that the company revalue just the two blocks that were understated and increase the assets and profits by the difference which should amount to approximately
$ 250 000. This would then increase the profits for the year and would allow us to achieve the budgeted profit and declare the projected proposed dividends without a problem.
Issue 3:
Earlier this year in May 2016 we discovered that the depreciation on plant and machinery had been incorrectly calculated at 2% instead of 20%; similarly buildings were depreciated at 0.5% instead of 5% in calculating the depreciation for the year ended 31 December 2015. No adjustments have been made in respect of this incorrect calculation to date. As it is just a book entry can we just ignore the error and calculate this year’s depreciation correctly and record it accordingly in this year’s accounts. Do we have to correct last year’s depreciation? How do we account for it if we do? We have also miscalculated the useful life span of our computer systems (bought in February 2015) at 5 years (that’s what we were told when we bought the computer systems) when it should have been just 3 years (present information available to us). Do we need to worry about it or could we just ignore it and claim the extra amount at the end of the three years when the computer systems are replaced?
Hint: Remember that your firm plans to charge the client for your advice; as a check ask yourself if you would pay for the advice you have drafted!

PADM 530 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY INSTRUCTIONS Once the student completes Discussion Board forum #2- S.W.O.T Analysis based upon previously captured Public Administrator Generated Information (PAGI), the student will then begin smart action research. Smart research is research that is devoted to finding solutions to problems. The scholarly resources and other pertinent data will be annotated. The student will take a clinical approach to economic development by first diagnosing the development problems; and, then by finding what can be done to minimize the scope and severity of the problem(s) identified. Ultimately, this information assembled in the Annotated Bibliography will be reviewed in preparation of a report suitable for public sector decision makers and other stakeholders. The student will be expected to submit an Annotated Bibliography presenting sources that provide the academic and research support for the Economic Development Analysis with Action Plan – Case Study Project Part II. Students must annotate a minimum of 25 sources. Sources can include the various journal articles as well as scholarly and professional sources. Manyl materials may be found through Liberty University Online Research Portal. Keeping in mind that the goal of the Annotated Bibliography assignment will be to document literature pertaining to best practices for addressing various areas of concern for economic development, most specifically focusing on the items uncovered during the S.W.O.T. analysis assignment, the Annotated Bibliography serves as a recordkeeping system for the “fact-finding,” “smart research” the student conducts. The process of developing the Annotated Bibliography will replicate the type of strategic research activity required of consultants. The result of this assignment will be the identification of documented approaches that worked in comparable locations, strategies that might rightly be applied to the chosen jurisdiction. The most feasible of those prospects documented in the Annotated Bibliography should inform the Action Plan for Case Study Project Part 2. The Annotated Bibliography is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module/Week 7.

This Activity is comprised of three (3) parts. Your Activity responses should be both grammatically and mechanically correct, and formatted in the same fashion as the Activity itself. If there is a Part A, your response should identify a Part A, etc. In addition, you must appropriately cite all resources used in your response and document in a bibliography using APA style. (100 points) (An essay response is required for the combination of Parts A, B, and C.)

Read “David Neeleman Reinvents Airlines,” on page 26 of your text. After reading this case and conducting additional research (at least two (2) journal articles), discuss the following.

Part A Do you think that David Neeleman best meets the definition of a manager or a leader? List and discuss three (3) reasons for your answer and provide three (3) examples of how David Neeleman does not fit the alternate definition.

Part B What are the key elements of JetBlue’s culture?

Part C What role does the leader play in the development and maintenance of the culture?
