Nick is considering quitting his current job as an electrician and following his lifelong dream of opening a restaurant. This decision requires careful analysis and evaluation. If he chooses to do this, he would have to quit his current job, which pays $70,000 a year, and take over a building that he owns and currently rents out for $12,000 a year. His expenses at the restaurant would be $100,000 for food and $8,000 for gas and electricity.

Andrew has decided to open an online store that sells home and garden products. After searching around, he chooses the software
company Initech to provide the software for his website since their product required the least amount of specialized investments for
him to use it. They agreed upon price of $2,000. To use Initech's software, Andrew makes $1,200 in sunk capital investments and
spends 55 hours learning how to use Initech's software, which is very different from other software packages. Both Andrew and Initech
view Andrew's time as worth $26 per hour and Initech is fully aware of the investments Andrew must make to use their product. After
Andrew's investments were made, Initech came to Andrew and asked for more money.
What do you think is the new price Initech requested Andrew to pay?

After several meetings, Denai invited Finney to live on a corner of her land in exchange for Finney’s assistance in cutting wood and tending her property. Denai agreed to store Finney’s sailboat in her barn. With Denai’s consent, Finney constructed a concrete and oak foundation on Denai’s property and purchased a 190-square-foot dome from Dome Baja for $3,395.

- In many cities, discount clubs are popular. For a fixed annual fee (paid in advance) one can purchase goods at 90% of their listed price (in other words, 10% off the list price); otherwise, one pays the list price.

This option gives the buyer a choice of loan terms in which various combinations of interest rates and discount points are offered. The choice of how many points and what rate is optimal is often a matter of how long the buyer intends to keep the property. Darrell Frye is planning to buy an office building at a cost of $988,000. He must pay 10% down and has a choice of financing terms. He can select from a 7% 30-year loan and pay 4 discount points, a 7.25% 30-year loan and pay 3 discount points, or a 7.5% 30-year loan and pay 2 discount points. Darrell expects to hold the building for four years and then sell it. Except for the three rate and discount point combinations, all other costs of purchasing and selling are fixed and identical. 1.

Her friend Kathy asked her what was wrong. Marissa described to her how bad her financial situation is, and Kathy thought that Marissa might qualify for food stamps. Marissa has a full-time job so she isn't sure that she’ll qualify, and even if she does, she isn’t sure it will help too much. ) How is it possible that someone making almost 25% more than the minimum wage, and working full-time, qualifies for food assistance?
