• Select one of the options: entering the workforce upon graduation or attending graduate school. Identify at least five benefits and at least five risks associated your chosen option. For example, if you choose to enter the workforce immediately upon graduation, identify the benefits and risks of doing so. Cite at least two sources of this information.
• Design a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation illustrating the risks and benefits. Include at least one graph, chart, or table to add to the presentation’s visual appeal.
• If you have chosen to enter the workforce, imagine you are designing the presentation for a job fair at which you are a recruiter trying to convince new graduates of undergraduate programs to work for your organization.

• Include one slide with a speech or a persuasive narrative, in your own words, to persuade students or recent graduates to make one choice (join the workforce or enter graduate school).
• Include at least one slide addressing recent trends in the job market and analyzing whether this is an optimal time to enter the workforce or to continue your studies in graduate school.
• Include at least one slide addressing the pitfalls recent graduates from bachelor’s degree programs face and how best to avoid those challenges. One pitfall must be related to the financial risk of or the debt incurred as a result of making each choice (joining the workforce and continuing school).

This week you will continue the work you started on your new product.  This week you will identify and explain the BE (break-even point). 

1. Using a spreadsheet software program, create a chart showing the costs of your product or service and at least three different price points you might consider selling the product. 
2. In a separate area on the spreadsheet, explain the chart and the price points (use your own words). 
3. Select your BE point and explain why you selected that specific BE point. 
4. (Explanation should be a minimum of 500 words, spelling and grammar count. Use Times New Roman 12 point font, double spaced. Note:  even though you are writing within the spreadsheet use APA style.)
5. In your explanation, be sure to consider the cost of: 
   • raw materials
   • labor
   • fixed costs
   • delivery
   • advertising
6. You may need to be creative as you come up with pricing (this is ok).

Assignment 1: You should attempt both parts to this assignment 

Note: you should incorporate all sections of the various Acts/regulations 

where appropriate. 

 

Part 1: Case study 

 

Janet (taxpayer) residing in Australia is named as the sole beneficiary of a 

property (1.85 hectares) with a large homestead as a result of the death 

of a relative on 7/10/2010. The property is not used for commercial 

purposes and at the date of death, the property was valued at 

$1.45million. Settlement took place on 21/12/2010. After moving into the 

homestead shortly after taking ownership, she planned to take a one-year 

trip which she had been planning for some time in late 2011. The taxpayer 

felt that the homestead was far too large for her (she is single), applied to 

the ATO for an exemption for ABN registration and some fourteen months 

later (16/2/2012), she obtained council approval to subdivide the property 

into three, with the intention of building three units, one she will take up as 

her own residence, the other two will be sold. Work commenced some 

weeks after approval and on 12th December that same year, the 

taxpayer returned and moved into one of the apartments. The other two 

were sold in March/April in 2013, one selling for $1.35m (24/3/2013), the 

other for $1.45m (9/4/2013). 

 

You are to consider the CGT implications both from the relevant sections 

(ITAA), rulings, etc. and from the values (if/where applicable). Assume that 

the blocks are subdivided equally. For each determination that you make, 

you should clarify. You should also clarify what Capital Gains and CGT is in 

your answer (15 marks)
