THE INFORMATION FOR PROBLEMS 17-20 ARE THE SAME. HOWEVER, EACH QUESTIONS ASKS YOU TO DO SOMETIHNG ELSE WITH THE INFORMATION. Today is December 31, 2018. Today, we started the Hilo Tourişm Company. To start the business, the owners have invested $25,000 into the business from their own pocket. In addition, the company borrowed $15,000 at a 10 percent simple interest rate. Thus, the company has $40,000 to work with. The company will use $10,000 of this money for operating cash. The company will use the remaining money to purchase a tourism van for $30,000 on December 31st. The company will pay interest only on the loan. The Hilo Tourism Company will contract our services to Royal Cruise Line who has agreed to pay us $160,000 in the year 2019 for providing tours to high-class customers from the Hilo dock to the Volcano.
