Please prepare 2016 Schedule C, Schedule SE and Form 4562 for Frank?s Creations.

Frank Jones is a licensed hair stylist and operates his own salon under the business name of ?Frank?s Creations?.Frank?s Creations as well known for its selection and quality of men?s hairpieces andwomen ?s wigs. The business also sells a considerable quantity of beauty products (e.g., conditioners, shampoos, curling irons).

Frank?s business consists of five to nine stations operated by himself and other licensed beauticians. The beauticians who work in the salon are treated as independent contractors. Eachpays Frank a monthly rental.

Frank?s Creations is located at 15 Tahoe Street, Cincinnati, OH 45221. The employer identification number is 94-1122556.

The building in which the business is located is rented under a long-term lease for $1,500 each month. Frank pays his own utilities. The only employee Frank has is a shampoo person, who also performs light janitorial duties. Likewise, a local accounting group is on retainer to keep the financial records for the business.

Frank?s Creations had the following receipts for 2016:

Sales of cosmetics$ 19,800

Sales of hairpieces, wigs38,500

Fees received from customers by Frank

(including tips)42,390

Rent charged from other beauticians33,750

The amounts shown for the retail sales of cosmetics, hairpieces, and wigs, include state sales taxes.

Frank?s Creations had the following expenses for 2016:

Purchases of cosmetics$ 9,545

Purchases of hairpieces, wigs14,600

Operating supplies (shampoo,

color, permanent, etc.)8,155

Rent for building18,000

Utilities and telephone9,800

Payroll expenses7,300

Payroll taxes (FICA, FUTA,

State unemployment)815

Sales taxes remitted to state3,860

City of Cincinnati occupationpermit550

Business insurance1,950

Janitorial services3,500

Accounting services4,800

Advertising825

Fine paid to City of Cincinnati300

Waiting room furniture4,500

Air Conditioning Unit installed 5/1/20168,000

Frank decided completely renovate the furnishings in his waiting room. Consequently, he spent $4,500 for chairs, sofa, lamps, tables, etc., all placed in service on April 25, 2016. In addition, in a preparation for a hot summer, Frank spent $8,000 (including installation) on a new air conditioning unit placed in service on 5/1/2016. Frank has always followed a policy of claiming as much depreciation as soon as possible. All of his other business assets (e.g., hair dryers, work-stations chairs) have been fully depreciated by 2016.

The fine paid to the city was assessed by the Sanitation Department. Frank had failed, in accordance with a city ordinance, to separate the trash of the business into recyclable and non-recyclable bins.

On 01/02/2016 Frank purchased a HUMMER H2 Sport Utility for $68,000***. Frank used it 40% of the time in his business. Frank spent $620 on gas, $500 on maintenance and $1,200 on insurance during 2016.In 2016 Frank drove 12,000 miles. Frank wants to minimize his 2016 taxable income.

In late 2015, a transient customer visiting the city had purchased a hairpiece from the business for $290. The customer?s check was not deposited until early 2016 and ultimately proved fraudulent. The sale was reported on 2015 tax return. Frank has no doubt that he will never collect the $290 due him.

Frank maintains an inventory as to the merchandise he sells. The business inventories (based on the lower of cost or market) are as follows:

12/31/201512/31/2016

Hairpieces and wigs$ 4,200$ 3,500

Cosmetics1,9002,100

6,1005,600

________________________________________________________________________

Except for the inventory and purchases accounts, Frank operates the business on a cash method. Customers pay for services as rendered. Sales income is recorded when merchandise is sold.
