After seeing an advertisement on a local billboard about an upcoming county carnival Ronald got an idea about what to do next. He'll take his food truck on the summer carnival circuit. He's done some quick research and estimates that he will be able to attend at least 10 different events between now and the end of September. He knows this will be difficult work, more difficult than he can do on his own, so he sets out to find some help.

On July 4^th, he posted a help wanted ad on a local job website. The cost was only $50 plus GST for a weekend posting (paid by cash). The response wasn't overly great, but he did find a passionate and experienced individual that knows the carnival circuit; Peter Crandle. Ronald has agreed to pay Peter a $3,500 per month salary as well as cover off any necessary travel expenses that come up during their tour of the circuit. Peter starts work on July 8^th but because of the short notice Ronald has agreed to pay Peter his full monthly salary for the month of July. Ronald also paid the hiring agency the amounts owing from the worker required for Oilmaggedon.

The adventure begins! Having only a couple of days to prepare, Ronald and Peter set off on the fair circuit. Though a little unprepared for the challenges that may lie ahead Ronald soothed his nerves with an informative conversation with Uncle Bob who provided a handy spreadsheet to help keep track of the revenues and expenses. The spreadsheet allowed Ronald to list out the dates and locations of his sales as well as the related expenses for those events. Bob told Ronald to come back at the end of the month to get his financial statements prepared.

It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks for Ronald and Peter. Though there were many long days of selling followed by even longer nights travelling to the next destination, Ronald did manage to find time to complete the spreadsheet that Bob gave him (Appendix 1). With the spreadsheet in hand, Ronald went to see his uncle. On the way he stopped in at the bank to make the second payment on the loan for his truck. He also declared and paid himself a dividend of $5,000 for his hard work over the past couple of months.
