tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

In such a case Shawn's company cannot and should not give out a dividend.

Since the company has just raised money, is growing and profitable and it is becoming hard to keep up with demand, this is the best time for the company to reinvest its profits to:

1. Hire more people/Buy more product

2. Improve processes

3. Use the profits to invest in R&D

4. Use the profits to invest in marketing and promotion

5. Invest in providing better customer service

So no dividend should be given since it can hamper the growth of a young company. The money should be used to grow the company for now and in the future all shareholders can enjoy good dividends.

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

Also, mutual assent is a legal term which represents an agreement by both parties to a contract. When two parties to a contract both have an understanding of the parameters, terms and conditions surrounding a contract, it ultimately implies that they are in agreement; this is generally referred to as mutual assent.

In this scenario, Lyle and Miranda agree that Lyle will fix the refrigeration unit in Miranda's Bagel Café in exchange for her payment of a debt that Lyle owes to New Credit Corporation. Under this contract, the intended beneficiary is New Credit Corporation as agreed upon by Lyle and Miranda.

An intended beneficiary can be defined as a third-party deemed to be the recipient of an action with respect to the execution of a contract.
