g. Split-off point: the point at which manufacturing costs are split equally between ending inventory and cost of goods sold. Thus, it give rise to joint products that emerge from the same raw materials and a shared manufacturing process.
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.

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.
Juanita worked hard all year so that she could go to nursing school the following year. She put her savings into a mutual fund that paid a nominal interest rate of 4 percent a year. The CPI was 252 at the beginning of the year and 257 at the end of the year. What was the real interest rate that Juanita earned?
Answer:
1.98%
Explanation:
Inflation rate = (CPI at the end of the year / CPI at the beginning of the year) - 1
(257 / 252) - 1 = 0.01984 = 1.984%
(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + inflation rate) (1 + real interest rate)
1.04 = 1.01984 x (1 + real interest rate)
(1 + real interest rate) = (1.04 / 1.01984) - 1 = 1.98%
