Since 1962, members of the Plumbers Local have been dyeing the Chicago River green in honor of St. Patrick's Day. Similar river dyeing occurs in Tampa, Austin, and elsewhere. In 1961, the mayor of Chicago wanted to find out where raw sewage was being dumped into the Chicago River. He directed that a special green dye (fluorescein) would be added to the river to help highlight where the sewage was being dumped. Upon seeing the Chicago River streaked green for this sewage-detection project, people got the idea that the river could be dyed green for St. Patrick's Day. In 1962, members of the Plumbers Local in Chicago dumped 100 pounds of this leak detection dye into the river for St. Patrick's Day. It turned the river green for a week. In later years, less dye was used so that the river would be green for less than one day. Environmentalists then warned that the use of fluorescein might be damaging the river's eco-system. A switch was then made to a powered, vegetable dye in 1966.…

2. A warehouse owned by Martha and used in her business (i.e., to store inventory) is being condemned by the city to provide a right-of-way for a highway. The warehouse has appreciated by $180,000 based on Martha’s estimate of its fair market value. In the negotiations, the city is offering $35,000 less than what Martha believes the property is worth. Alan, a real estate broker, has offered to purchase Martha’s property for $20,000 more than the city’s offer. Martha plans to invest the proceeds she will receive in an office building she will lease to various tenants. Identify the relevant tax issues for Martha. Would the answer in part (1) change if Martha’s warehouse was property being held for investment rather than being used in her business? Explain.
Daniel Hudson, the general counsel of eHarbour, has received a letter from a dissatisfied eHarbour user. The user downloaded the eHarbour app to his phone and used the navigation software to compete in a local regatta. The user claims that the app stopped working during the regatta when he was leading the race and that he ended up placing fourth rather than winning the regatta. An internal investigation shows that the software indeed had a temporary service outage on the day of the race for approximately 10 minutes for selected users. The customer is demanding $100,000, including the $5,000 prize awarded to the first-place winner, and emotional damages in the amount of $95,000 for not winning the race.

Dakota Corporation is an owner/operator of 15 water filtration systems in the Northwestern region of the United States. During February 2022, 4 of the tanks had leaks which contaminated the water and surrounding environment. Dakota is very concerned about their obligation to the community to maintain the environment. Dakota corrected the leaks by installing new water filters and liners which cost $500,000. These corrections will extend the life of the tanks and improve future production. These improvements will also prevent any future environmental contamination. Overall, the $500,000 spent on the new water filters and liners have improved the facility. Dakota is unsure whether the $500,000 spent for this environmental issue should be capitalized or expensed. Accounting Issue: Should Dakota capitalize or expense the $500,000 spent on the new water filters and liners?
