Business has been going very well for him, and he has provided the following information relating to his business. Required: Calculate the business taxable income for BAM assuming that BAM elects to account for its inventory of miniatures. Also compute the journal entries for each of the following A-M.  f) Assume that BAM correctly determined that its cost of goods sold using an appropriate inventory method is $54,000 this year. g)The sci-fi convention in April was held in Chicago, Illinois. Rex attended the convention because he felt it was a good opportunity to gain new customers and to get new ideas for figurines.

BAM paid $3,000 up front (in December of this year) and AWU agreed that BAM would owe the remaining $5,000 only if BAM's sales increased by 15 percent over the 9-month period after the contract was signed. m) In November of this year, BAM paid $2,500 in business property taxes (based on asset values) covering the period December 1 of this year through November 30 of next year.
