Also, Question #3 financial & Life Style - I am not sure with my answer...please double check for me...please revise and see my attachment Q#3: Thank you! 1) Their financial and lifestyle ; Saving 45,000 The early retirement payout (ETP) 65,000 Property (estimated amount) 200,000 John?s taxable income 128214 Mary?s taxable income 86575 Total Money 524,000 Total cost: Business market price 295,000 Mortgage 97,000 John?s tax payable 22,269 Mary?s tax payable 15,930 Total Cost 430,199 The balance ( after buy the business ) 93,801,Dear Professor, I got your message, Just take your time, I know it requires lots of reading for there are heaps of info especially if you read /search www.ato.gov.au. Hopefully, this afternoon or tonight will be finish even 6pm -7pm today 2nd Oct-australian time. Thank you for your taking time! Regards, Student,Hi Professor, Just a reminder, if you are done. Please send me the solution as soon possible for its due today. Thank you!,another updater answer from Question 3...l. Your client?s financial and lifestyle needs...please revise my answer... I think I am close to correct answer. In order to find out the affordability to buy business is considered as (Selling property 380,000 + ETP $65,000 ? mortgage $97,000 = $348,000). Business market price is $295,000. Therefore they can afford to buy business. To find out the client?s lifestyle needs and expected return from the business is considered by comparing John and Mary?s financial position before running the business and withdrawal amount of Charles? business. Approximate income and expenditure for both John and Mary is calculated like this: John's Salary 65,000 John's Traveling Allowance 1,200 John's total dividend-approximate 2,500 Mary's salary 33,000 Rental income for both 14,500 Bank saving interest 2,250 Both approximate income 118,450 Their life style need for a year is around $118,000 according to this calculation. Charle?s drawing for 2010 is $87750 and 2011 is $74250. Therefore, money receives out of the business for their personal usage will be less than what they earn now. Conclusion is buying the business does not make their life change to better position as they expected.,Dear Professor, I would like to request the solution for my questions for I am going to submit my assignment myself today(really due today in my class).
