  1. Jules lives in a house with a mortgage. She has a suitable room to set up her salon. It has easy access to her backdoor, a bathroom, and the laundry room. She must renovate the room to meet the standards set for home businesses such as installing a tile floor and a sink. Jules has found a contractor who will renovate the room for $5 000.00.

    Before Jules can open her business, she needs to purchase a special chair for cutting hair, a chair for washing hair, and chairs for clients waiting for their appointments. Other accessories required are a full-length mirror, trolleys to hold her tools, and hair products for washing and styling hair. Jules estimates that she needs $1 000.00 to outfit her business.

    In her research, Jules has discovered she must apply and pay for multiple permits and licenses. The cost of these is approximately $1 000.00. Also, she will purchase a computer and accounting software to record her business transactions, which will cost $700.00.

    Determine Jules' start-up costs for her business.
