a. Josh borrowed $80,000 from the First State Bank using his business assets as collateral. He used the money to buy City of Blanksville bonds. Over the course of a year, Josh paid interest of $8,200 on the borrowed funds, but he received $4,500 of interest on the bonds.
b. Josh purchased a piece of land for $58,500 in order to get a location to expand his business. He also paid $8,900 to construct a new driveway for access to the property.
c. This year Josh paid $21,300 to employ the mayor’s son in the business. Josh would typically pay an employee with these responsibilities about $18,200 but the mayor assured Josh that after his son was hired, some city business would be coming his way.
d. Josh paid his brother, a mechanic, $4,850 to install a robotic machine for Josh’s business. The amount he paid to his brother is comparable to what he would have paid to an unrelated party to do the same work.
