The venture uses a markup of 100%, so the cost of goods is 50% of the sales amount (so, January cost of goods is $500, February cost of goods is $550, etc.). The venture pays a salary of $500/month for the first 6 months, then hires an additional employee in July and pays $1000/month for the rest of the year.

The venture's assets depreciate by $10/month. Office expenses are $15/month for January-April, increase to $25/month for May-August, and go back down to $15/month for September-Decemberarrow_forward
