Answer:
The answer is: Alais will prevail because of material breach of the contract
Explanation:
Material breach in contract law refers to one party failing to perform under the contract significantly enough so that the aggrieved party has the right to sue for breach of contract.
In this case when Rutherford failed to perform, Alais sustained enough "damage" that enables her to sue Rutherford. She probably was no longer able to finish her job in time.
Answer:
$10,000
Explanation:
Gifts are only taxed when their fair market value is higher than $15,000. Any gifts made to your spouse are not taxable. Gift taxes are calculated on a per person base, as long as they do not exceed the lifetime exemption (which is $11.58 million).
The tuition costs of her niece are not taxable since they are less than $12,000. The stocks given to his wife are not taxable either. The only taxable gift is the land given to his sister which had a FMV of $25,000. The taxable amount = $25,000 - $15,000 = $10,000
