Accounting
You have been running a successful franchise business for the past 10 years. Your intention was to continue with the business for the next five years until you reach retirement age, but you have just received an offer of purchase for the business from a fellow business owner.

| 2020 | 1250000 |
| 2021 | 100000 |
| Sale value of business at the end of 2012 | 0 |
