Marilyn entered into a contract and sold equipment to Sam who claimed to be acting on behalf of ABC Corporation. Marilyn was not paid, and upon investigation, she learned that while the articles of incorporation were filed for ABC Corporation, they were never issued. Which of the following is the applicable law in regard to her position in a majority of states?
a. The majority of states follow the old MBCA which follows the approach that only promoters who assume to act as a corporation when the certificate of incorporation has not been issued are jointly and severally liable for the business debts.
b. The majority of states follow the old MBCA which follows the approach that all persons who assume to act as a corporation when the certificate of incorporation has not been issued are jointly and severally liable for the business debts.
c. The majority of states follow the revised MBCA under which the filing of the articles of incorporation, regardless of whether there is a return copy stamped by the secretary of state, is conclusive proof of incorporation; and the corporation itself is liable for business debts from that point forward.
d. The majority of states follow the revised MBCA under which the filing of the articles of incorporation, evidenced by the return of the copy stamped by the secretary of state, is conclusive proof of incorporation; and the corporation itself is liable for business debts from that point forward.
Answer:
The applicable law in regard to her position in a majority of states is:
b. The majority of states follow the old MBCA which follows the approach that all persons who assume to act as a corporation when the certificate of incorporation has not been issued are jointly and severally liable for the business debts.
Explanation:
MBCA means the Model Business Corporation Act. It is noteworthy that majority of the states have not adopted fully the Revised Model Business Corporation Act, 2016. This is because some of their Corporation Acts still rely on the old MBCA. This implies that Marilyn has a favorable position and can recover from ABC Corporation the value of the equipment sold to Sam.

A. Assume that Plum will reinvest its after-tax earnings in the growth of the company, should Plum Corp operate as a C Corporation or an S Corporation?
B. Assume that Plum will distribute its after-tax earnings each year to its shareholders. Should Plum operate as a C corporation or an S Corporation?
Answer:
Plum Corporation
The best choice is:
B. Assume that Plum will distribute its after-tax earnings each year to its shareholders. Should Plum operate as a C corporation or an S Corporation?
Explanation:
a) Tax is the greatest difference existing between a C corporation and an S corporation. With a C corporation, the earnings are taxed twice. When the C corporation earns income, it is taxed as a corporation. When it distributes the after-tax earnings, the owners are taxed again in income tax. This does not happen with an S corporation. The S corporation does not pay corporate tax, instead, its owners pay their individual income taxes because the corporation's incomes are passed through the members.

Suppose the marginal cost curve in the short run first decreases and then increases. If marginal cost is decreasing, _____ must be _____ and _____ must be _____.
Answer: D. marginal product; increasing; average variable cost; decreasing
Explanation:
The Marginal product curve is hump-shaped and the marginal cost curve is U-shaped because these two move in opposite directions to each other.
If the marginal cost is decreasing therefore, the marginal product must be increasing. If the marginal cost is decreasing and the marginal product is increasing, average variable cost will have to fall because every additional unit produced incurs less cost so the average has to fall as well.
Drew Chow has an annual salary of $110,250. He is married with no dependents. The married exemption for his state is $4,000. He pays $2.656.25 in state income taxes. What is the state income tax rate?
Answer: 2.5%
Explanation:
Drew salary is $110,250 and he gets a married exception of $4,000.
This reduces the taxable income to:
= 110,250 - 4,000
= $106,250
He pays $2,656.25 in taxes on that taxable income so the income tax rate can be found as:
106,250 * tax rate = 2,656.25
Tax rate = 2,656.25 / 106,250
= 2.5%

Suppose two pizza parlors employ drivers whose job it is to deliver pizzas to those who order over the phone. One company pays its drivers an hourly wage, and the other pays them by the number of pizzas delivered each day (which can be affected by efforts of drivers to deliver and hurry back for the next order). Which company is more likely to experience higher rates of traffic accidents among its drivers? Why?
Answer:
The second company which pays as per delivery.
Explanation:
In simple words, the company paying their employees as per the deliveries made have incentive their employees to work in speedy manner. It is definite that employees, in intention to earn more, will try to deliver more and more pizzas and that could lead to major accidents.
The other company employees might not work in an hurry as they are being paid on hourly wages hence extra work is not going to get them anything.

g It is claimed that 1800 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef, i.e., to grow the crops that feed the cattle and to provide the animals with drinking water. This water _______. Group of answer choices is permanently removed from the water cycle remains in the water cycle, but is forever polluted and thus no longer available for potable water usage remains in the water cycle and can be cleaned for future water usages None of these
Answer: remains in the water cycle and can be cleaned for future water usages.
Explanation:
Water never really leaves the earth as it just renters the water cycle where it can be cleaned and used fir future demand.
The water that was used to water the plants, will be lost to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration where it will condense and fall back as rain eventually.
The water the cattle drank will come back into the water cycle as urine and sweat where it can then be cleaned and used again for future demand. For instance, we are still drinking water that was drunk by dinosaurs.

Compute Hudson Co.'s break-even point in units. 2. Compute Hudson Co.'s break-ev
Answer:
See
Explanation:
1. Break even point in units
= Fixed cost / Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Given that
Fixed cost = $600,000
Selling price per unit = $375
Variable cost per unit = $300
Break even point in units = $600,000 / ($375 - $300)
= $600,000 / $75
= 8,000 units
2. Break even in sales
= Fixed cost / Selling price unit - Variable cost per unit × Selling price per unit.
=[ $600,000 / ($375 - $300) ] × $375
= 8,000 × $375
= $3,000,000

23) Sarah is trying to decide which one of two job offers she will accept. Several items are presented below: Job Offer A Job Offer B (1) Base salary $ 50,000 $ 50,000 (2) Overtime compensation Comp. time Hourly rate (3) Moving allowance $ 3,000 $ 3,000 (4) Signing bonus $ 2,000 $ 0 (5) Job search costs incurred $ 300 $ 500 Select the items that are irrelevant to Sarah's decision. A. (1), (3), (5) B. (2), (4) C. (1), (3) D. (2), (3), (4)
Answer:
A. (1), (3), (5)
Explanation:
When deciding on whether the items presented in the Job Offer are relevant or irrelevant, Sarah would need to evaluate and compare between the both Offers.
Base Salary
The base salary offered in both the Job Offers are same. Therefore, this item is irrelevant. Since they both are same it won't matter whichever she selects.
Overtime Compensation
This is different in both the Job Offers. Comp. Time is basically where employers give their employees paid time off in lieu of the overtime they have worked. While in the case of hourly rate, the employees receive additional payment for overtime work. Sarah would have to choose which option is more preferred for her whether extra time or additional payment. This item is therefore relevant.
Moving Allowance
This allowance is equal in each job offers. So, she would receive it in any offer she selects. This item is also irrelevant when making decision on the Job Offer.
Signing Bonus
The signing bonus has been offered in only one of the Job Offers for $2,000. Sarah would need to decide if she would need this bonus or could she forgo the same. This item is relevant.
Job Search Cost
This is basically sunk cost which is not recovered. Therefore, it is irrelevant when making the decision for the Job Offer.
Hence, the base salary, moving allowance and job search cost are irrelevant for Sarah when making decision for the Job offer.

The calculation of the payback period for an investment when net cash flow is even (equal) is:
Answer:cost of investment/annual net cash flow
Explanation:
The Payback period states the period within which the investment funds are recoupened. The even net cash flow shows that the cash inflows are positive than cash outflows.
The computation of the payback period when the company experiences an even net cash flow would be:
[tex]P=\frac{I}{n}[/tex]
Here, P is the payback period, I is the initial investment and n is net cash flow in each period. Therefore, the payback period will be equal to the initial investment divided by net cash flow per period.

Netflix Inc. (NFLX) is a media company that offers consumers the ability to buy movie and TV entertainment services. Though the company has since adapted to a largely subscription-based model allowing customers to watch streaming television and movies online, Netflix still offers its original DVD service. Since the fourth quarter 2019, Netflix operates as a single business segment, no longer reporting across domestic streaming, international streaming, and domestic DVD segments.1 In recent years, competition in the streaming media business has grown fierce, with companies including The Walt Disney Co.

Suppose there are a large number of men who used to work or seek work who now no longer do either. Other things the same, this makes a. the number of people unemployed rise but does not change the labor force. b. the number of people unemployed rise but makes the labor force fall. c. both the number of people unemployed and the labor force fall. d. the number of people unemployed fall but does not change the labor force.
Answer: c. both the number of people unemployed and the labor force fall.
Explanation:
Unemployed people in an economy refers to those who do not have work but are actively seeking work. As the men above who did not have work are no longer seeking it, they do not qualify to be classified as unemployed any longer which would lead to a fall in the unemployment rate.
The labor force includes both unemployed and employed people in the economy. As the number of people who were classified as unemployed has reduced, so also will the labor force.
Carrie D's has 8 million shares of common stock outstanding, 6 million shares of preferred stock outstanding, and 30 thousand bonds. If the common shares are selling for $12 per share, the preferred shares are selling for $30 per share, and the bonds are selling for 110 percent of par, what would be the weight used for equity in the computation of Carrie D's WACC
Answer:
Weight of equity = 0.31067 or 31.067% or 96/309
Explanation:
WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure which can comprise of debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC for a firm can be calculated as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
w represents the weight of each component based on market value in the capital structure r represents the cost of each component D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively
To calculate the weight of equity in WACC computation, we first need to find out the Market value(MV) of each component and the market value of the overall capital structure.
MV of common equity = 8 million shares * 12 per share
MV of common equity = $96 million
MV of Preferred stock = 6 million shares * 30 per share
MV of Preferred stock = $180 million
The bonds are usually have a par value of $1000 unless specified otherwise.
MV of debt = 30 thousand * $1000 * 110%
MV of debt = $33 million
MV of total capital Structure = 96 + 180 + 33 => $309 million
Weight of equity = 96 / 309
Weight of equity = 0.31067 or 31.067% or 96/309

Ivan invests in land, and Grace invests in taxable bonds. The land appreciates by $8,000 each year, and the bonds earn interest of $8,000 each year. After holding the land and bonds for five years, Ivan and Grace sell them. There is a $40,000 realized gain on the sale of the land and no realized gain or loss on the sale of the bonds. Are the tax consequences to Ivan and Grace the same for each of the five years? Explain.
Answer: No. The tax consequences to Ivan and Grace isn't the same for each of the five years.
Explanation:
We should note that the taxes on the land will be charged on the interest when the land is sold and a gain is made.
For the bond, there'll be a tax in the interest income for every fiscal period usually a year but there will not be a tax on the bond's final sale due to the fact that no gain was received on its sale
Therefore, based on the information given above, tax consequences to Ivan and Grace isn't the same for each of the five years.

Explanation:
A partnership can be defined as a type of business ownership in which two or more individuals come together to start up a business and share the profits made together.
Limited partnerships have two classes of partners. These two (2) classes are;
1. Limited partner: it is a type of partnership in which people come together and have an agreement to do business but the involved partners only contribute financially and solely responsible to the amount of money they invested.
2. General partner: it is a type of partnership in which two or more people come together and have an agreement to do business by sharing profits, assets, debts or financial and legal liabilities.
In a general partnership, each partner is held responsible for an agreement or decision made by any one of the partners.

There are 10 units of inventory on hand on December 31.
1. Calculate the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory under each of the following periodic inventory methods:
a. FIFO $
b. Weighted-average (round calculations to two decimal places.) $
2. Assume that the market price per unit (cost to replace) of Stalberg's inventory on December 31, 20--, was $26. Calculate the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory on December 31 under each of the following methods:
a. FIFO lower-of-cost-or-market $
b. Weighted-average lower-of-cost-or-market $
Answer:
1-a. The total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory under FIFO is $300.
1-b. The total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory under Weighted-average is $242.50.
2-a. The total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory under FIFO lower-of-cost-or-market is $260.
2-b. The total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory under weighted-average lower-of-cost-or-market is $242.50.
Explanation:
1-a. Calculate the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory under FIFO.
First In First Out (FIFO) method, the units purchased first are sold first and the units purchased last are sold last.
Since there are 10 units of inventory on hand on December 31 and Dec. 8 3rd purchase has 10 units, this implies that the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory is $300 which is total amount of units of Dec. 8 3rd purchase.
Therefore, the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory under FIFO is $300.
1-b. Calculate the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory under Weighted-average (round calculations to two decimal places.).
Total cost = $970
Total units = 40
Weighted-average per unit = Total cost / Total units = $970 / 40 = $24.25
Cost of ending inventory = Weighted-average per unit * Units of ending inventory = $24.25 * 10 = $242.50
Therefore, the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory under Weighted-average is $242.50.
2-a. Calculate the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory under FIFO lower-of-cost-or-market.
Market price per unit = $26
Total amount of ending inventory using market price per unit = Market price per unit * Units of ending inventory = $26 * 10 = $260
Total amount of ending inventory using FIFO = $300
FIFO lower-of-cost-or-market = Total amount of ending inventory using market price per unit = $260
Therefore, the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory under FIFO lower-of-cost-or-market is $260.
2-b. Calculate the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory under Weighted-average lower-of-cost-or-market.
Market price per unit = $26
Total amount of ending inventory using market price per unit = Market price per unit * Units of ending inventory = $26 * 10 = $260
Total amount of ending inventory using weighted-average = $242.50
Weighted-average lower-of-cost-or-market = Total amount of ending inventory using weighted-average = $242.50
Therefore, the total amount to be assigned to the ending inventory under weighted-average lower-of-cost-or-market is $242.50.
