Throughout this book, we will present a continuing narrative about Harry and Belinda Johnson. Following is a brief description of the lives of this couple.Harry is 28 years old and graduated five years ago with a bachelor's degree in interior design from a large Midwestern university near his hometown in Indiana. Since graduation Harry has been working in small interior design firm in Kansas City earning a salary of about $45,000.Belinda is 27, has a degree in business administration from a university on the West Coast, and has been employed in a medium-size manufacturing firm in California for about five years. Harry and Belinda both worked on their schools' student newspapers and met at a conference during their junior year in college.After all these years they met again socially in January in Kansas City, Missouri where Belinda was visiting relatives and by chance she and Harry were at the same museum. After getting reacquainted they started dating and in only a matter of months…
John Barton is both excited and amazed. Excited because on graduating from college one year ago at age 22, he landed a good job with a crypto currency exchange and he is enjoying the work. His company has good benefits and has just given him a raise so that in his next (2nd) year of employment he will be earning $55,000 per year. He is amazed because even with this raise, he feels that money is just as scarce as it was when he was a student. The paycheck comes and before he knows it, it is gone again. Certainly, he has many more “things” than he did before: a nice new car, an attractive apartment with some real furniture, and a wide screen television. Nonetheless, he is still concerned that he has little in savings to handle emergencies (becoming ill, terminated from his job) or life changing events like getting married. John feels that it is time to “get his finances in order” as his father is always saying. He intends to determine his personal Net Worth and to understand where his…
Jonathan Lark's lifelong dream is to own a restaurant. He owns a premium site for a restaurant across the street from the local
university. Now he needs to decide what kind of restaurant to open.
Recently, Jonathan began to investigate one of the fastest growing fast-food franchises in the country, Pepper Roni Pizza. A Pepper
Roni Pizza franchise costs $81.600, an amount that is amortized over 15 years. As a franchisce, Jonathan would need to adhere to
the company's building specifications. The building would cost an estimated $1.224,000 and would have a $136,000 salvage value
at the end of its 15-year life. The restaurant equipment (fryers, steam tables, booths, counters) is sold as a package by the corporate
office at a cost of $200.000, will have a salvage value of $27.200 at the end of its five-year life, and must be replaced every five
years
Jonathan estimates the annual revenue from a Pepper Roni Pizza tranchise at $2,584.000. Food costs typically run 36% of revenue.

She is also contemplating opening her own firm (Bit-By-Bit Solutions, Inc.) and is keenly aware of the intense level of competition in her geographic market. If she opens her own firm, she will have to quit her job and use her accumulated savings of $60,000 to secure an office (1 year lease), furniture, and the necessary productive capital (PC's, Servers, Software, etc) (Note: The furniture and productive capital are purchased outright and not leased or rented).
