Smith Services, Inc., was a trucking company established in 2000 and owned by Tony Smith as the sole shareholder. Smith Services, Inc., had an account with Laker Express, a fuel provider, and often would charge fuel purchases for the company trucks to that account. Smith’s employees would fuel their vehicles and sign the account slip with a notation that the purchase was for Smith Services, Inc. Laker Express would bill Smith Services regularly for the charges on the account. After several months of low business, Smith Services ceased doing business and was dissolved in 2013, with its assets being distributed to creditors. Laker Express only recovered a small part of the amount owed by Smith Services, Inc. Tony Smith then opened up a new trucking service business as a sole proprietor. Laker Express sought to recover Smith Services' unpaid fuel charges, which amounted to about $35,000, from Smith. He argued that he was not personally liable for a corporate debt. Should a court hold Tony Smith personally liable?

Assume that in addition to the facts given, that evidence was presented to the court that Smith, his wife, and their kids regularly used the account at Laker Express to fill up their personal vehicles. Does this change the outcome?

1. Given this new evidence, a court likely (would, would not) find that Laker Express was tricked or misled into dealing with the corporation rather than the individual.
2. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation was undercapitalized.
3. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation was created to evade an existing legal obligation.
4. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation failed to comply with the required corporate formalities and meetings.
5. The court likely (would, would not) find that the personal and corporate interests were commingled to such an extent that the corporation had no separate identity with regard to the relationship with Laker Express.
6. Because of these findings, the court likely (would, would not) pierce the corporate veil and hold Tony Smith personally responsible for the debt to Laker Express.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Smith Services, Inc. and Laker Express

a. A court should not hold Tony Smith personally liable for the corporate debt of Smith Services, Inc to the tune of $35,000 representing unpaid fuel charges to Laker Express.  This decision is given based on the facts presented in the case, so far.

b. Assuming that in addition to the given facts, evidence was presented to the court that Smith, his wife, and their kids regularly used the account at Laker Express to fill up their personal vehicles, then this evidence changes the outcome.  Smith Service, Inc. has met one of the conditions for piercing the corporate veil.  This condition is commingling the corporate account with personal expenses and use of corporate assets.  This may also question if proper accounting records were being kept at the Smith Services.

c. Therefore,

1. Given this new evidence, a court likely (would, would not) find that Laker Express was tricked or misled into dealing with the corporation rather than the individual.

2. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation was undercapitalized.

3. The court likely (would, would not) find that the corporation was created to evade an existing legal obligation.

5. The court likely (would, would not) find that the personal and corporate interests were commingled to such an extent that the corporation had no separate identity with regard to the relationship with Laker Express.

6. Because of these findings, the court likely (would, would not) pierce the corporate veil and hold Tony Smith personally responsible for the debt to Laker Express.

Explanation:

To protect the legal status of corporations like Smith Services Inc. as limited liability entities, State courts reluctantly pierce the corporate veil, unless the requirements, which vary from state to state, are met.  If Tony Smith does not the court to pierce the corporate veil of Smith Services, Inc., his former company should have used corporate assets only for corporate purposes.   Based on the unpaid fuel charges, Tony Smith did not maintain the separation of ownership from his Smith Services, Inc. since he, his wife, their kids, and apparently the employees fuelled their personal cars on fuel charge to Laker Express for Smith Services, Inc. to offset.

Answer 2

1. Given this new evidence, a court would likely find that Laker Express was tricked or misled into dealing with the corporation rather than the individual.

2. The court  would not likely find that the corporation was undercapitalized.

3. The court would not likely find that the corporation was created to evade an existing legal obligation.

Use minus sign to enter loss, if any. $ $4.25 per share? Use minus sign to enter loss, if any.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of profit or loss is shown below:

The formula used is

= (Price × number of shares) - proceeds to Beedles - out of pocket expenses

a. For $5 per share

= ($5 × 3 million shares) - $14,000,000 - $340,000

= $15,000,000 - $14,000,000 - $340,000

= $660,000

b. For $6.25 per share

= ($6.25 × 3 million shares) - $14,000,000 - $340,000

= $18,750,000 - $14,000,000 - $340,000

= $4,410,000

c. For $5 per share

= ($4.25 × 3 million shares) - $14,000,000 - $340,000

= $12,750,000 - $14,000,000 - $340,000

= -$1,590,000

Ben has ​$500 in his savings account and the bank pays an interest rate of 10 percent a year. The inflation rate is 6 percent a year. The government taxes the interest that Ben earns on his deposit at 20 percent. Calculate the nominal​ after-tax interest rate and the real​ after-tax interest rate that Ben earns.

Answers

Answer:

Nominal after-tax interest rate = 8%Real After-Tax Interest Rate = 2%

Explanation:

The Nominal rate is 10%

Inflation rate is 6%

And Tax rate is 20%

Nominal after-tax interest rate

= Nominal rate (1 - tax rate)

= 10% ( 1 - 0.2)

= 8%

Real After-Tax Interest Rate

= Nominal after-tax interest rate - inflation rate

= 8% - 6%

= 2%

Assume the company requires a 10% rate of return on its investments. Compute the net present value of each potential investment.

Answers

Answer:

NPV is $771,739

Explanation:

As we know that:

Net Present Value = Present Value of Cash inflow (STEP 1) - Present Value of Cash outflow

STEP 1. Present Value of Cash Inflow

Here

Present Value of Cash Inflow = Annuity of Annual Cash flow    - PV of Scrap Value

Annual Cash flow is $346,000 ($230,000  +   ($786,000 - $90,000)/6)

So

Annuity of annual cash inflow = $346,000 * Annuity Factor

Here

Annuity Factor for 6 years is 4.3553

Now this means that:

Annuity of annual cash Inflow = $346,000 *  4.3553 = $1,506,934

Present Value of Residual Value ($90,000 * 0.5645) = $50,805

Present Value of cash inflows                                        $1,557,739

Now putting values in the above equation, we have:

Net Present Value = $1,557,739   -    $786,000

Net Present Value = $771,739

Answers

Answer:

Interest Expense $6,446,360

Interest Payable $7,000,000

Explanation:

Interest Expense for the year =

Issued amount * Effective interest rate * [tex]\frac{Remaining months in the year}{Total months in the year}[/tex]

$644,636,000 * 0.06 * 2/12 = $6,446,360

Interest Payable =

Face Value of the bond * Interest rate * [tex]\frac{Remaining months in the year}{Total months in the year}[/tex]

Kenneth Washington's weekly gross earnings for the week ending December 18 were $3,460, and his federal income tax withholding was $726.6. Assuming the social security rate is 6% and Medicare is 1.5% of all earnings, what is Washington's net pay? If required, round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

$2,473.9

Explanation:

The computation of net pay is shown below:-

Net pay = Gross pay - Federal income tax withholding - Social security tax - Medicare tax

= $3,460 - $726.6 - ($3,460 × 6%) - ($3,460 - 1.5%)

= $3,460 - $726.6 - $207.6 - $51.9

= $2,473.9

Therefore for computing the net pay we simply applied the above formula i.e the three above taxes are subtracted from the gross pay to arrive net pay

Suppose the current term structure of interest rates, assuming annual compounding, is as follows: s_1s 1 ​ s_2s 2 ​ s_3s 3 ​ s_4s 4 ​ s_5s 5 ​ s_6s 6 ​ 7.0% 7.3% 7.7% 8.1% 8.4% 8.8% What is the discount rate d(0,4)d(0,4)? (Recall that interest rates are always quoted on an annual basis unless stated otherwise.)

Answers

Answer: The answer is 7.53%

Explanation:

To calculate for the discount rate of d(0,4)d(0,4)

The discount factor is : d=1/1+i

Provided the interest rates are compounded annually the discount factor will give the present value of the bond when provided with the interest rate and maturity value.

Going with the above, the present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will be;

Present value=1 /(1+i1) (1+i) (1+i3) (1+i4)

Present value=1 / (1.07) (1.073) (1.077) (1.081)

Present value=0.748

The present value of a bond with a maturity value of 1 will hence be 0.748.

Therefore, to calculate the discounting factor for the 4 years:

1 (1+d (0,4))‐⁴ =0.748

(1+d(0,4))=0.748‐¹/⁴

1+d (0,4) =1.0753

d (0,4)=0.0753

Finally, the discount rate will be 7.53%

Answers

Answer: Has the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain.

Explanation:

For a gifted property, it should be noted that the tax basis for a donee that is, the person who gets the gift will be identical to that of the donor, this is, the person that donates the gift in cases whereby the property is gotten as a gift.

Therefore, a gift property disregarding any adjustment for gift tax paid by the donor will have the same basis to the donee as the donor's adjusted basis if the donee disposes of the property at a gain.

ABC Company manufactures a contraption meant to enable a rider to fly behind a ski boat. After a few months, ABC begins to hear of injuries when riders crash into water or boats. In hopes of escaping liability, the president of ABC Company decides to discontinue business and sell all assets to XYZ Company. The president of XYZ Company is excited to purchase the assets at a bargain price and help ABC avoid liability based upon the assertion of the president of ABC that XYZ cannot legally be held liable for the flying accidents. Which of the following is true in a majority of states applying the traditional successor liability rule?

a. XYZ Company will not be held liable for the accidents so long as there is no contractual agreement by which it agrees to accept liability.
b. XYZ Company will only be held liable if it continues to manufacture the same product lines as ABC.
c. XYZ Company will only be held liable if it keeps the same tax number as ABC Company.
d. XYZ Company will likely be held liable for the accidents based upon the transaction being entered into wrongfully in order for ABC Company to escape successor liability.

Answers

Answer:

d. XYZ Company will likely be held liable for the accidents based upon the transaction being entered into wrongfully in order for ABC Company to escape successor liability.

Explanation:

Successor liability basically means that any creditor or plaintiff can recover from the company or individual that purchases an asset or a business (in this case ABC company) from any liabilities that may have been originated before the exchange transaction was finished, even if the firm or individual that purchases the asset or company did not assume or will not want to assume any liabilities as part of the exchange deal.

In other words, XYZ is liable for any lawsuits regarding the contraption device previously manufactured by ABC.

Average costs _______initially due to the presence of fixed costs and then rise due to _________ a. rise; increasing fixed costs b. fall; decreasing marginal costs c. fall ; increasing marginal costs d. rise; decreasing fixed costs

Answers

Answer:

C. fall; increasing marginal costs.

Explanation:

Option C is the correct answer because initially, the average costs fall due to increasing return or production of more units. When output increases, the average fixed cost slopes downwards. Moreover, when the average cost falls, marginal cost also falls and it starts rising as the marginal cost cuts the average cost at its minimum point. However, after cutting at the minimum point, marginal cost increases, and due to which average cost also increases.

If a company is considering optimizing the physical location for every activity in the value chain, which of the following is not a possible strategic advantage for that decision?
A. Performance enhancement
B. Cost reduction
C. Political risk reduction
D. Life-cycle enhancement

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: D. Life-cycle enhancement

Explanation:

When a company wants to optimize physical locations for all activities in the value chain, it must manage all elements of the value chain to improve processes and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the value chain. Therefore, some strategic advantages for this decision include the improvement of organizational performance, which would optimize the stages of the value chain, reducing waste, and the failures of the process, which would generate cost reduction. Compliance with legislation would also decrease political risks, being a significant strategic advantage for improving the value chain.

Therefore, the life-cycle enhancement may not constitute a strategic advantage, because this process requires greater capacity for the company to manage and monitor variable resources during the enhancement life cycle, which can generate greater difficulty in managing the value chain. and higher spending.

A. positivistic/empirical
B. interpretive
C. critical
D. scientific

Answers

Answer:

B. interpretive

Explanation:

A researcher who has no concern for issues of control or ability to generalize, instead choosing focus on providing rich descriptions would be following the interpretive approach.

In an interpretive approach to research, researchers are mainly focused on deciphering detailed meaning or rich descriptions so they can have a better understanding of the subject matter.

Under interpretive study, it is assumed that the meaning associated with matters are subjective and inter-subjective depending on their perception, thus researchers attempt to understand matters through the meanings attached by individuals in the sampling population.

Hence, interpretive researchers assume that issues are not singular or objective but depends on various human experiences.

b. Is the bond likely to sell above or below par value after the downgrade?

Answers

Answer:

a.- above par (premium)

b.- below par (discount)

Explanation:

Currenly the bonds par yield will be of 7.6%

Before the downgrade the expected return on that risk was 7.5% so it was above par.

Once the downgrade occurs: the expected return considering the increased risk is 7.8% Therefore the market price will decrease. This will move the yield to maturity from 7.5% to 7.8% and the market price below par.

the relative weight of the stocks that you are selling is $100,000/$4,000,000 = 0.025 = 2.5% of the portfolio

this means that their effect on the portfolio's beta was 0.9 x 0.025 = 0.0225

the new stocks that you want to purchase have a beta of 1.4 and their relative effect on the portfolio's beta will be 1.4 x 0.025 = 0.035

the difference between both stocks = 0.035 - 0.0225 = 0.0125

that means that the portfolio's new beta = 1.1 + 0.0125 = 1.1125

1. A small-scale businessman deposits money at the beginning of each year into his savings account, depending on the level of the business’ returns. He deposits $1000 in the first year, $3000 in the second year, $5000 in the third and $7000 in the fourth year and annual interest rate of 7%. What is the value of the investment at the time of his first deposit?

Answers

Answer:

The value of the investment at the time of his first deposit is $1,000.

At the end of the first year, the investment will be worth $1,070.

Explanation:

The value of a deposit investment is determined by the interest rate and time.  Time affects the value of an investment by this small-scale businessman in many ways.  The passage of time increases the value of his investment.  However, the total increase may not be due to the interest rate, but inflation also affects asset's value.  For this businessman to make a gain in the investment, the interest rate must be higher than the inflation rate.  Otherwise, the investment loses money due to the effects of inflation, which reduces the real value of an asset over time.

you are going to deposit $19000 today. You will earn an annual rateof 3.3 percent for 11 years, and then earn an annual rate of 2.7 percent for 14 years. how much will you have in your account in 25 years?

Answers

Answer:

After 25 years you will have in your account $42,782.05.

Explanation:

First find the Future value of $19000 invested today at the end of 11 years.

PV = - $19,000

Pmt = $0

P/yr = 1

r = 3.30%

n = 11

FV = ?

Using a Financial calculator, the Future Value (FV) after 11 years will be $27,155.46.

Use the $27,155.46 to find future value at the end of the next 14 years at the rate of 2.70%

PV = - $27,155.46

Pmt = $0

P/yr = 1

r = 3.30%

n = 14

FV = ?

Using a Financial calculator, the Future Value (FV) after 14 years will be $42,782.05.

Thus, after 25 years you will have in your account $42,782.05.

Suppose you inherited $275,000 and invested it at 8.25% per year. How much could you withdraw at the end of each of the next 20 years

Answers

Answer:

$28,533.5

Explanation:

Principal value (PV) = $275,000

Time = 20 years

Rate = 8.25%

Present Value = P ((1-(1+R)^-n) / r)

275,000 = P ((1- (1 + 0.0825)^-20) /.0825)

275,000 x .0825 = P (1-(1/1.0825)^20)

22687.5 = P ((1.0825^20 - 1) / (1.0825 ^20))

22687.50 = P (4.8816 - 1 / 4.8816)

22687.5 = P (3.886 / 4.8816)

22687.5 = p(0.7951)

P = 22687.5 / 0.7951

P = $28533.5

Explanation:

Common Stocks are at no par value:

This means that ,

1.When Common Stocks are Issued, the value is the issue price there is no share premium reserve on it.

2. For consideration paid in Common Stocks, value of stocks would be the same as the cost at initial recognition. For example the Purchase of Land on April 1. Initial recognition is at Asking Price of $91,000. Hence common stocks are issued at $91,000.

Preference Stocks are at $100 par

This means that,

1.Any issue of Preference Stock made in excess of par value is accounted in the Preference Share Premium Reserve.
