Answer:
B. is not liable because Mike was on a frolic of his own.
Explanation:
Mike who is a dispatch rider, decided to see his girlfriend, Jackie, who lived 50 miles off his pizza route. He had an accident while driving to his girlfriend's, and injured a pedestrian, Chuck due to his negligent driving.
Under the circumstances, Frank's Pizza isn't liable because Mike was on a frolic of his own. Mike embarking on a 50 mile drive to see his girlfriend is frolicsome and outside the scope of his employment as a delivery agent.
Hence, this will absolve his employer from any liability as he wasn't working on the designated route at the time.
<u>Full question:</u>
On June 15, Harper purchased equipment for $100,000 from Imperial Corp. for use in its manufacturing process. Harper paid for the equipment with funds borrowed from Eastern Bank. Harper gave Eastern a security agreement and financing statement covering Harper’s existing and after-acquired equipment. On June 21, Harper was petitioned involuntarily into bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. A bankruptcy trustee was appointed. On June 23, Eastern filed the financing statement. Which of the parties will have a superior security interest in the equipment?
A. The trustee in bankruptcy, because the filing of the financing statement after the commencement of the bankruptcy case would be deemed a preferential transfer.
B. The trustee in bankruptcy, because the trustee became a lien creditor before Eastern perfected its security interest.
C. Eastern, because it had a perfected purchase money security interest without having to file a financing statement.
D. Eastern, because it perfected its security interest within the permissible time limits.
<u>Answer:</u>
Eastern parties will have a superior security interest in the equipment because it perfected its security interest within the permissible time limits.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Eastern has a higher security interest because Eastern amended its security interest inside the allowable time deadlines. A perfected security interest in any security interest in an asset that cannot be demanded by any other party.
Below the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.), to perfect a security interest, a lender has 10 days from the date of the sale of material to perfect the security interest by filing a financing statement. Possessing registered in the 10-day limit, Eastern has a strong perfected security interest in the material and after-acquired things even though the bankruptcy was recorded two days ahead.
Answer:
4) recorded as a reduction of the cost of the land.
Explanation:
When you are calculating the cost of any land purchased, you must start with the purchase price and add all the expenditures necessary for getting the land ready, e.g. legal fees, taxes, real estate commissions, land grading, clearing the trees, etc., and subtract any revenue obtained, e.g. from the sale of salvaged materials or timber.
total cost of land = purchase price + (fees, commissions, grading, clearance expenses, taxes, etc.) - revenue (salvaged materials, scrap, timber, etc.)
Answer:
Alternative of cleaning and shipping is better as loss value is less.
Relevant cost of this alternative is $23,000 incurred for cleaning and shipping.
Explanation:
Evaluating both the proposals
In case the goods are sold as it is then net cost/ loss = Carrying value of inventory - Sales Revenue
= $125,000 - $45,000 = $80,000
In case the goods are cleaned and shipped then
Total cost = $125,000 + $23,000 = $148,000
Revenue = $80,000
Net loss/ cost = $148,000 - $80,000 = $68,000
Thus Since the loss value is less i alternative 2 that is of cleaning and shipping, it shall be chosen.
The relevant cost of that alternative is $23,000 incurred in cleaning and shipping.
