On Thursday, Justin flies from Baltimore (where the office for his sole proprietorship is located) to Cadiz (Spain). He conducts business on Friday and Tuesday; vacations on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (a legal holiday in Spain); and returns to Baltimore on Thursday. Justin was scheduled to return home on Wednesday, but all flights were canceled due to bad weather. As a result, he spent Wednesday watching floor shows at a local casino.

a. For tax purposes, what portion of Justin’s trip is regarded as being for business?

b. Suppose Monday was not a legal holiday. Would this change your answer in (a)? Explain.

c. Under either (a) or (b), how much of Justin’s airfare qualifies as a deductible business expense?

Answer:

a. For tax purposes, what portion of Justin’s trip is regarded as being for business?

The whole trip is considered a business trip because Justin started working before the weekend and continued to work after the holiday was over. He is not responsible for bad weather conditions.

b. Suppose Monday was not a legal holiday. Would this change your answer in (a)? Explain.

Yes, it would make a difference since a legal holiday counts as a labor day, so Justin legally worked immediately after the weekend, but if Monday wasn't a holiday and he got back to work on Tuesday, then he couldn't consider Saturday, Sunday nor Monday as business days.  

c. Under either (a) or (b), how much of Justin’s airfare qualifies as a deductible business expense?

the airfare is 100% deductible under any scenario

The portion of Justin’s trip that is regarded as being for business is the whole trip.

In current business publications, find examples of firms whose strategies to increase profits focus primarily on generating more revenue. Compare these cases with firms that are trying to cut costs to increase profits. In your initial post, include a summary of these firms and how the different strategies have been successful or unsuccessful.
Having a nice size profit margin is the goal for most companies. In order to make this happen there has to be a plan/strategy that is carefully thought out and implemented. You want to take your time and make sure things are done correctly and in a way that it is profitable and not detrimental to your company at the same time. One good example of this act comes from McDonalds. One McDonalds franchise in New York increased the price of their Big Mac from $5.98 to $6.28 currently to increase revenue. Prior to this there was an anual increase that took place. "The Golden Arches' pricing in the U.S. Rose 2% year over year in the first quarter, which was still less than the consumer Price Index's overall".
On the other end of the spectrum we have companies like Apple. Apple fired 1,600 full time employees from retail stores to increase their profit margin. "The retail segment reported operating income of $308 million during the second quarter of 2009 down from #334 million....". In cutting down on those full time positions they were able to increase their profits by paying less full time salaries to employees. "Revenue increase 8.7% to 8.16 Billion, which is more than 7.96 billion expected...". I do not feel that this is the best way to go about getting results. A merger of the two would be effective. Gradually increasing sales prices and not eliminating so many positions at once or merging positions even would be effective. You have to take into account that less employees mean more work for the workers that are left, which could leave them in a stressful work environment. In turn could mean customer service quality decreases drastically. Things have to be looked at on both sides of the spectrum.
