There are seven phases in the business life cycle. The four main phases of the business life cycle are the Establishment, Growth, Maturity and Post Maturity phases. The Establishment phase is when a company is first established. This is also called the start-up phase. This is when businesses are at their most vulnerable and have to get onto a solid foundation. Profit and sales usually begin slowly and there is a high degree of uncertainty. The Growth phase is the second phase in the business life cycle. This is usually where sales increase and cash flow is normally positive. There are regular customers which means a higher profit and an increase in sales. Many businesses have been stuck in the growth phase for many years yet some have been in it for only a short while. The Maturity phase generally presents unique challenges to a business.

Overall, GPT are a good and reliable company and has a bright future ahead of them.
This case study examines various real estate contracts – the Real Estate Purchase Contract (REPC) and two addendums labeled Addendum No. 1 and Addendum No. 2 – pertaining to the sale of 1234 Cul-de-sac Lane in Orem, Utah. The buyers in this contract are 17 year old Jon D’Man and 21 year old Marsha Mello; the seller is Boren T. Deal. The first contract created was Jon and Marsha’s offer to purchase Boren’s house. This contract was created using the RESC form, which was likely provided by their real estate agent as it is the required form for real estate transactions according to Utah state law. The seller originally listed the house on a Multiple Listing Service (MLS); Jon and Marsha agreed that the asking price was too high for the neighborhood (although we are not given the actual listing price), and agreed to offer two-hundred and seven-thousand dollars ($207,000) and an Earnest Money Deposit of five-thousand dollars ($5,000). Additionally, the buyers requested that the seller pay 3% which includes the title insurance and property taxes. After the REPC form was drafted, the two addendums were created. Addendum No. 1 is from the seller back to the buyer, and Addendum No. 2 is the buyer’s counteroffer to the seller.

A Community Land Trust (CLT) is a shared equity affordable homeownership model that conceptually exists between the homeownership and rental tenure models. Under the CLT model, a community based non-profit corporation purchases land and subsequently leases the improvements on the land, such as residential homes, to low income households. The CLT is set up in such a way that the low-income household will only achieve a limited equity return on its investment. Appreciation of the land is taken out of the price equation because the CLT holds the land on which the homes sit on in permanent stewardship. CLTs use various legal mechanisms to convey ownership and subsidize properties under resale constrictions set by a formula created by the CLT that allows the next buyer to also pay a below-market price.

It is important to clarify some key assumptions that were made in valuing the properties to this NPV. First, the project yields a high IRR of 73 %, due largely in part to the sale of each building upon lease up. For the cash flow projections, it was assumed that all buildings are sold 18 months after construction completion. Therefore, with the exception of the last building to be sold, Heron Quay, the buildings are sold toward the end of their free-rent periods and no rent is collected.
