I would need to know about products, distribution, promotion and price for your business. Who is your target market? What is your competitive advantage?
If you can help me with this please tell me you name and the name of your business. (If your not comfortable telling me your name that’s ok). You can either post your answer here or send me a message through Yahoo! Answers.

I have seen it mentioned in the press, but I don't quite understand how having condos makes it harder for people to make living cost meet.

> What is related selling activity ?
> What is related buying activity ?
> If : On January 30, Tensing Company purchased supplies of $2,000. The supplies were all consumed in February
Then according to me : The supplies should be charged to Supplies Expense in January and no adjusting entry is needed until the supplies are used in February. Is that correct !

Thanks.

I heard of someone, "Friend A", who loaned 2,000 to "Friend B", against her own savings account. *The Bank* gave the 2,000 Friend B and Friend B paid the Bank monthly loan payments. I'm assuming if Friend B defaulted, the Bank would take money from Friend A's savings. Has anyone heard of this type of loan? Know what it's called and who offers it?

To cut a long story short - My tenancy ended on 23/06/07. The landlord has had the place professionally cleaned and billed me for it, when I had cleaned the place myself from top to toe (I left it SPOTLESS) - an inventory was even carried out and NOWHERE was it marked that anything needed attention with regards to cleaning. Everything was agreed as clean and in good condition.

SO my questions are:

1) Havent I done my part as a tenant?
2) What is the law with regards to my deposit - can the landlord charge for things so petty, and things which it seems are more centered on his taste and opinion?
3) Should I not have been informed that I was going to be charged for these things before the landlord went ahead and got these services at my expense? Should this have not been discussed with me so that perhaps I could have atleast found cheaper services? (if I agreed this wasn't complete rubbish)

WHAT DO I DO? :(

I started a website to raise environmental awareness. I want to start selling website related merchandise and donate a portion of the proceeds to charity. Should I start a small business and just donate the money on my own, or should I start a non-profit and donate through that? The plan is to travel around the country doing speaking engagements, promoting the website, as well as selling the products to keep the site going, to be able to afford the travel, etc. This will be my only source of income, if I start a nonprofit, would it be legal for me to donate my own money to it, and can I pay myself a salary so I can concentrate all my time on this project? I also want to hold a series of dinners to introduce friends and people from my community to the site. If I start as a business, is it legal for me to charge people to attend the dinner? The money would pay for the dinners, a portion would go to charity, and the remainder would pay for the travel, merchandise and expenses.

We've been divorced for almost three years. We have three school aged kids, I stayed in the family home. He can't afford to live in our neighborhood and would need my financial help to do so. I think the kids would benefit if he lived closer and real estate is a good investment right now. We could purchase as tenants in common . . but if he didn't pay the mortgage, what then?

My mom has been paying on a whole life policy for over 50 years. The benefit amount is now only $6000. I think she could have had more than $60,000 had she put this money in a bank instead. Is paying on a policy this long with such a small benefit legal?
