GHI Corporation, a California corporation, has a six-person board. At a regular board meeting, only two directors attend. No notice was sent to any of the directors. The two attending call directors Alice and Bob and put them on a conference call. The four talk about the corporation buying Blackacre and then all agree to a resolution for GHI to buy Blackacre from Third Party. The Bylaws of GHI state that an action of the board requires the consent of a majority of the directors present at a meeting, and that a quorum is a majority of the authorized directors.
Select one:
a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and a majority of those present approved the action.
b. the purchase is not authorized, since all real estate transactions require shareholder approval
c. the purchase is not authorized because prior written notice must be sent to each director
d. the purchase is not authorized because a quorum was not present at the board meeting
e. Two of the above are correct.
Answer:
a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and a majority of those present approved the action.
Explanation:
going by the bye laws of GHI state, board action requires that majority of the members of the board are present and give consent in the meeting. here in this question, we have a 6 member board. Although only two of the board members are physically present, through conference call Alice and Bob increased the number to 2 when they joined in. Therefore the number of board members at this meeting is 4, then the requirement has been met. So since this 4 agreed to the purchase, it is authorized and valid since a quorum was present and a majority of them agreed to the action. option a is correct
The correct statement is a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and, a majority of those present approved the action.
The quorum required by the Bylaws of GHI is for a majority of directors to be present, and in this case, four directors were present (two physically and two by conference call).
The Bylaws of GHI specify that every action of the directors should be supported by a majority present at a meeting. We can conclude that the purchase is authorized by the majority (100%).
Thus, the purchase of Blackacre by GHI is authorized.

ACTIVITYPREDECESSORNORMAL TIME (WEEK)CRASH TIME (WEEK)EXPEDITING COST/WEEKA-963000BA853500CA15104000DB,C532000EC1062500FD,E215000
Hint: I have directly provided the crashing cost per unit time.
a. What is the normal project length?
b. What is the critical path in this project?
c. Which activity will you choose to crash first to reduce the duration of the project by one week?
d. What is the project length if all activities are crashed to their minimum?
e. What is the slack for activity D?
Answer:
a. The normal project length is 36 weeks.
b. The critical path in this project is A-C-E-F.
c. The activity that you choose to crash first to reduce the duration of the project by one week is E because it has the least expediting cost/week amongst A, C, E, F.
d. The project length if all activities are crashed to their minimum is 23 weeks.
e. The slack for activity D is 5 weeks.
Explanation:
a) The normal length of the project = completion time of last activity = 36 weeks.
b) The criteria for critical activity:
[tex]LC_{i} = ES_{i} ,\\LC_{j} = ES_{j} ,\\[/tex]
[tex]ES_j - ES_i = LF_j - LF_{i} =[/tex] duration of the activity
where ES = Earliest start time, EF = Earliest finish time , LC = latest completion time, LF = latest finish time ,
The suffix- i refers to the preceding node, suffix-j refers to the succeeding node.
activities satisfying above all criteria are A, C, E, F
therefore critical path is A-C-E-F.
c) To reduce the project duration by 1 week. we should choose to crash among critical activities A, C, E, F. thus we choose to crash activity E because it has the least expediting cost/week amongst A, C, E, F.
d) if we crash all the activities to their minimum, then the project length = sum of crash time of all critical activities
= [6 + 10 + 6 + 1]
= 23 weeks.
e) The slack of activity d = LS - ES = 34 - 29
= 5 weeks

Logan owns a horse ranch. Logan dislikes horses, but he opened the ranch because he heard it was a lucrative business and he wanted to make money. Logan’s horse ranch has lost money every year for the past 5 years (including this year), but Logan has made some changes to business operations, including hiring a consultant and increasing his prices. Logan anticipates that as a result of these changes, his horse ranch will generate a profit in the next year or two. This year, Logan hired his brother, Luke, to work at the horse ranch. Logan pays Luke $500/hr to clean the horse stalls. Logan also hired his best friend, Lucy, to do Logan’s grocery shopping and other personal errands. He pays Lucy $15/hr. Which of the following is most accurate?
a. Logan cannot deduct any of the costs associated with the horse ranch because the horse ranch would be classified as a hobby, not a business
b. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Luke because Luke works in Logan’s horse ranch business
c. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because the amount of the expense is reasonable
d. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because grocery shopping is ordinary and necessary
e. None of the above are correct
Answer:
Logan Horse Ranch
The most accurate is:
e. None of the above are correct
Explanation:
Logan's payment to his brother, Luke, of $500 per hour, is not a reasonable business expense that can be deductible. Surely, $500 per hour is not a going rate for cleaning the horse stalls per hour. With Lucy doing grocery shopping for Logan, it does not resonate like an ordinary and necessary expense for the business. Therefore, options A to D are not correct. This leaves only option E as the most accurate.
You have just started a new job and plan to save $5,200 per year for 36 years until you retire. You will make your first deposit in one year. How much will you have when you retire if you earn an annual interest rate of 9.54 percent?
a. $1,331,411.17
b. $1,394,509.68
c. $1,346,423.14
d. $1,268,312.65
e. $1,333,878.83
Answer:
$1,394,509.68
Explanation:
Savings amount = $5200
Period = 36 years
Interest = 9.54 percent
We solve for the future value of the annuity
= $5200[(1+0.0954)³⁶-1/0.0954]
= 5200 x [1.0954³⁶-1/0.0954]
= 5200 x 268.1749
= 1,394,509.681 dollars
Therefore after retirement and at an interest rate of 9.54 percent, you would be earning 1,394,509.681 dollars.

Several years ago, Castles in the Sand Inc. issued bonds at face value of $1,000 at a yield to maturity of 8%. Now, with 7 years left until the maturity of the bonds, the company has run into hard times and the yield to maturity on the bonds has increased to 12%. What is the price of the bond now
Answer:
$814.10
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the price of the bond now
Using this formula
Bond price = PV of coupon payments + PV of face value
Bond price= C×((1 / r) – {1 / [r(1 + r)t]}) + FV / (1 + r)t
Let plug in the formula
Bond price= [(.080 ×$1,000) / 2] ×[[1 / (.12 / 2)] – (1 / {(.12 / 2)[1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)})] + $1,000 / [1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)
Bond price= $814.10
Therefore the price of the bond now is $814.10
Snack food vendors and beer distributors earn some monopoly profits in their local markets but see them slowly erode from various new substitutes. When California voted on legalizing marijuana, which side would you think that California beer distributors were on
Answer: Opposing side
Explanation:
Substitutes to the products offered by monopolies are frowned upon by monopolies because it means that they cannot raise prices whenever they want anymore because people could simply switch to the substitutes.
Substitutes therefore reduce the power of monopolies. Marijuana is a substitute to beer as a recreational product so beer companies would be opposed to it being legalized as it would pose a threat to whatever dominance they have in the recreational sector.
A company is planning to purchase a machine that will cost $57,000 with a six-year life and no salvage value. The company expects to sell the machine's output of 3,000 units evenly throughout each year. A projected income statement for each year of the asset's life appears below. What is the payback period for this machine?
Sales $138,000
Costs:
Manufacturing $68,000
Depreciation on machine 9,500
Selling and administrative expenses 46,000 (123,500)
Income before taxes $14,500
Income tax (35%) 5,075
Net income $9,425
a. 6.00 years.
b. 1.99 year.
c. 6.05 years.
d. 12.10 years.
e. 3.01 years.
Answer:
e. 3.01 years
Explanation:
Cost of Asset = $57,000
Net annual cash Inflow = Net Income after Tax + Depreciation
Net annual cash Inflow = $9,425 + $9,500
Net annual cash Inflow = $18,925
Payback Period = Cost of Asset (Investment) / Net annual cash Inflow
Payback Period = $57,000 / $18,925
Payback Period = 3.01188904
Payback Period = 3.01 years
