ABC decides to invest $300,000. The deal they strike is as follows:

1. They are allowed to invest 1/3rd of their money on the first day of the deal (time 0), and the balance 2 years later.

Invested $100,000 on the first day. But first year doesnt have any income.

2. However, due to the delayed investment, they wont get any revenue until year 2 at which time they will get $70,000, $60,000, $50,000 and $70,000 for each of years 2 through 5.

3. In addition to the revenue noted for those 4 years, they will have expenses of $30,000, $30,000, $40,000 and $30,000 for years 2 through 5 (they dont have any expenses in time 0 or year 1 other than the already described original investment).
4. They can deduct 100% of their operating expenses in year 2, 50% of their operating expenses in years 3 and 4, and 25% of their operating expenses in year 5.
5. Their revenue is fully taxable in years 2 and 4 and 5, but only 50% taxable in year 3. In year 5, they are subject to tax on the portion of the revenue that was not previously taxed in year 3.
6. At the end of the investment (time 5), they will get a return of their original investment of $350,000. Any gain or loss on the investment is taxable, if a gain, or deductible, if a loss. But, the tax rate on return of investment is only 20%
