After their marriage, they decided to earnsomeextra income by doing small jobs involving canvas, vinyl, and upholstered products. Their work was considered excellent, and at the urging of their customers, they decided to go into business for themselves, operating out of the basement of the house they owned. To do this, they invested $120,000 cash in their business. They spent $10,500 for a sewing machine (expected life 10 years) and $12,000 for other miscelianeous tools and equipment (expected life 5 years). They undertook only custom work, with the customers purchasing the required materials, to avoid stocking any inventory other than supplies. Generally, they required an advance deposit on all jobs.
The business seemed successful from the start, as the Holts received orders from many customers. But they felt something was wrong. They worked hard and charged…
Eric and Tina have been friends since high school. Tina and her husband would regularly socialise with Eric and
his wife. On Eric's birthday, every year Tina would buy him a birthday present worth somewhere between $50
and $100. Eric's full-time job is as an obstetrician at a major public hospital. When Tina was giving birth,
coincidentally Eric was the obstetrician on duty. The birth was subject to complications and it was only Eric's
high level of competence and medical skill that saved the baby's life. A month later, when Eric's birthday came
around, Tina bought him an expensive watch valued at $4,000. With it she gave him a card that read "Thanks for
being a great friend and lifesaver". She also gave the two nurses who assisted Eric in delivering her child
necklaces worth $800 each. ignoring capital gains tax, discuss whether receipt of the watch constitutes
assessable income for Eric.
Ashby and Curtis, married professionals, have a two-year-old son, Jason. Curtis works full-time as an electrical engineer, but Ashby has not worked outside the home since Jason was born. As Jason is getting older, Ashby thinks that Jason would benefit from attending nursey school several times a week, which would give her an opportunity to reinvigorate her love of painting at a nearby art studio. Ashby thinks that if she is lucky, the proceeds from the sale of her paintings will pay for the nursery school tuition.
Ashby also is planning to claim the credit for child and dependent care expenses, because the care provided Jason at the nursery school is required for her to pursue her art career. Can Ashby and Curtis claim the credit for child and dependent car expenses for the nursery school expenditures? Why or why not?

During the winter, both Carey and Pat decided to rent their homes (at a premium) to groups of golfers from the New York area who wanted to get out of the snow and enjoy sunshine and golf for a couple of weeks during the winter. While their homes were rented, Carey and Pat vacationed together in Cancun. In January 2020, Carey rented his home for 14 days and received $14,000 in rent. Pat also rented his home for the same 14 days and received $16,000 in rent. Near the end of the 14-day rental period, Pat got a call from the renters, who wanted to extend their stay for one day.

Both parents are in their mid-thirties and live in Grays, Essex. They are looking into arranging childcare once Kay starts work again.

- Patrick works for McGill’s Computer Repair, owned and operated by Frank McGill. As a computer technician, Patrick has grown accustomed to friends and family members asking for assistance with their personal computers. In an effort to increase his income, Patrick started a personal computer repair business that he operates out of his home on a part-time basis, working evenings and weekends. Because Patrick is doing this “on the side” for friends and family, he does not want to charge as much as McGill’s charges its customers. When Frank McGill assigned Patrick the task of developing the budget for his department, Patrick increased the amount budgeted for computer parts. When the budget was approved, Patrick purchased as many parts as the budget allowed, even when they were not needed. He then took the extra parts home to use in his personal business in an effort to keep his costs down and profits up.
