The children are settled and happy at a local state school. - They are considering the purchase of a "tiny house" to be located on some unused space at the rear of their property. The tiny house would be rented for short term holiday accommodation, similar to a "bed and breakfast". - Both Clare and Alan are well educated, financially literate and consider themselves to he risk takers they assess each opportunity on its merits.

Question 2.b (5 marks) Clare and Alan are undertaking a preliminary review of the possible purchase of the tiny house and how it might impact their family budget. Identify and discuss the key financial issues they need to investigate. For discussion purposes, assume that the cost to purchase and fully install the tiny house is estimated to be AUD100,000 (the supplier has offered to arrange finance on reasonable terms) and net income (after allowance for expenses and tax) from short term rental is expected to be in the range AUD13,500 to AUD18,500 per year. The tiny house has a useful life of 10 years. The financial data above is for reference only. Detailed calculations are not required. The discussion should focus on the key financial issues at a conceptual level
