A shopkeeper purchased the building that houses her shop, incurring an obligation to the owner of the building equal to the fair

market value of the building plus interest. The obligation is evidenced by a promissory note and secured by a mortgage on the building. Several years later, the shopkeeper sold her business and the building to a third party, who assumed liability for the obligation. At the request of the third party and without the knowledge of the shopkeeper, the original owner of the building agreed to release the mortgage. Subsequently, the third party defaulted on the obligation. The current fair market value of the building exceeds the amount of the unpaid obligation. The original owner of the building sued the shopkeeper for the amount of the unpaid obligation. Can the original owner recover this amount from the shopkeeper

No, the original owner recover this amount from the shopkeeper because "the release of the mortgage discharged the shopkeeper's personal liability."

<h3>What are mortgage?</h3>

When you and a lender enter into a mortgage, the lender is granted the power to seize your property if you are unable to pay back the loan amount plus interest. Mortgage loans are used to either purchase a home or borrow against an existing home's worth.-

The examples of mortgage loans are-

  • A mortgage would be something you would borrow money against at the bank.
  • Mortgage is a loan taken to purchase property and guaranteed by the same property.
  • An example of a mortgage is the loan you took out when you bought your house.

As for the given condition, the owner will not get the amount from the shopkeeper because the building owner's release of the relevant mortgage releases the shopkeeper/mortgagor from personal accountability for the loan made by the original owner of the building (i.e., mortgagee).

Ilya [14]
<span>When determining the value of raw land, there is a relatively fixed amount of supply; therefore, the value of land is primarily determined by demand?

Because land isn't something we can just add in to the world, there is a fixed amount of supply available to us as a resource. When the supply becomes scarce, it is easy for the value of land to go up because if demand is high and there is a low amount the price can be higher since there is less competition of the same. </span>

Annette [7]

Answer:

$14,621.99

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what would be the amount of the annual rental payments Sage Hill demands of MTBA,

Let X be the annual lease payments

Annuity factor of 8% for 9 years = 6.74664

Discounting factor of 8% at beginning of 9 years = 0.54027

Annual Rental Payments=$100,000 = (X * 6.74664) + ($2,500 * 0.54027)

Annual Rental Payments=$100,000 = (X * 6.74664) + $1350.675

Annual Rental Payments=(X * 6.74664) = $100,000 - 1,350.675

Annual Rental Payments=X = 98,649.325 / 6.74664

Annual Rental Payments=X = $14,621.99

Annual Rental Payments=X = $14,621.99

Therefore, what would be the amount of the annual rental payments Sage Hill demands of MTBA , is $14,621.99

Firdavs [7]

B. 4.62

C. 66.99%

D. 19.21%

Explanation:

A). Calculation to determine the Laborland's total labor force

Using this formula

Total Labor Force = Employed + Unemployed

Let plug in the formula

Total Labor Force = (4.9+ 14.53) + (2.9 + 1.72)

Total Labor Force = 19.43 + 4.62

Total Labor Force = 24.05

Therefore the Laborland's total labor force is 24.05

(B). Calculation to determine the Laborland's labor force participation rate

Unemployed = 2.90 + 1.72

Unemployed = 4.62

Therefore the Laborland's labor force participation rate is 4.62

(C). Calculation to determine How many people are unemployed in Laborland

Using this formula

Labor force participation rate = Labor force / Total working age population

Let plug in the formula

Labor force participation rate= $24.05 / 35.9

Labor force participation rate= 66.99%

Therefore How many people are unemployed in Laborland will be 66.99%

(D). Calculation to determine Laborland's unemployment rate

Using this formula

Unemployment Rate = Unemployed / Labor force

Let plug in the formula

Unemployment Rate = 4.62 / 24.05

Unemployment Rate= 0.1921 * 100

Unemployment Rate= 19.21%

Therefore Laborland's unemployment rate is 19.21%
