If a contract term is ambiguous a court can consider extrinsic evidence. True. If there is a contract drawn up, it is important to make sure the terms and in black and white and not ambiguous. Ambiguous means that there can be more than one interpretation of something or having a double meaning. This can be harmful in a court case because different people may understand the contract differently. Extrinsic evidence is outside, external evidence that is not usually used to make a determination of a situation.

The correct answer is true. It is because if the contract term is likely ambiguous, the court will likely consider this as an extrinsic evidence or that the ambiguity is likely to be interpreted against the party who is responsible for drafting the term.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

A) interest rates will rise.

Explanation:

When the FED buys US securities it is carrying out an expansionary monetary policy. It reduces the interest rate of US securities so that more investors are willing to sell their US securities to the FED since their rate of return is very small.

If the FED stops buying back US securities, it means that they will stop their expansionary monetary policy, so the FED will start to increase US securities' interest rates. That way investors will be willing to keep their US securities and will not sell them since their rate of return has increased. This increase in the interest rate will lower the price of US securities and decrease the money supply.

Big Valley has a times interest earned ratio that is _________, which indicates that Big Valley has _________ long-term insolven

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

C. 3.91; more

Explanation:

the first part of the question is missing. It involved several aspects of Big Valley including its current and quick ratios, ROE and how they compare to the industry's average (they are generally lower than the industry's average).

This particular question refers to times interest earned ratio = EBIT / interest expense = 3.91, and how it compares to the industry's average (it is higher than the industry's average).

Since Big Valley performs poorly against the industry's average when comparing the other 3 metrics, but performs very well in the times interest ratio, it means that Big Valley has a low debt ratio. A low debt ratio results in lower financial leverage and lower interest expense.
