Hays Pet Spa (HPS) is a luxury grooming spa located in downtown and is a Canadian controlled private corporation. HPS started in 2014 when the sole shareholder, Hayley, decided to quit her job as an audit manager to take up a life of serving furry friends.
HPS has a team that is passionate about making sure you and your pets leave happy and with the best possible experience. Hayleys most popular service is her Full Bath & Paws Package for dogs. This package includes a full grooming - deep cleaning and hydrating bath, blow dry, an all-over fur trim/cut, trimming of the face, shaving of the fur between the pads, a nail trimming and an ear cleaning. This package costs between $70 and $170 depending on the size of your furry friend.
In October 2020, Hayley discovered her accountant was stealing money from her so she decided to take over the bookkeeping herself. Although she was a fantastic audit manager, tax was never her forte so shes asking for your help. Below is a summary of her 2020 revenues and expenses.

Feb 22: I changed Meals & Entertainment above from $7,250 to $15,050 because this is what the amounts add to in Note 4 below (this has no impact on the M&E part of your assignment because you need to use the amounts in Note 4 anyways). The Net Income is now $133,850. I will still accept the old Net Income number ($191,650) as a valid mark if you dont want to change your assignment solution.
