Answer: His argument would be “Discharge by Frustration”

Explanation: There are basically four ways by which a contract can be discharged which includes;

Performance

Agreement

Repudiation and

Frustration

When a contract becomes impracticable from either or both parties to the agreement then it would have to be discharged. In this instance, it is not by agreement, there was no deliberate breach of contractual agreement, and neither is it because the terms of the contract have been fulfilled, but rather because some current unforeseen circumstances have made it impossible for the terms to be fulfilled.

There was an unforeseen event that prevented Ron from continuing with the contractual relationship with his clients, namely the relocation of the landfill to a farther distance. This is beyond his control and continuing with that arrangement would turn his expected profits into losses.

In order not to suffer avoidable losses and possible bankruptcy, Ron has the option of petitioning to be discharged from the contract on the basis of frustration of his efforts.

Answer:

The options are given below:

A. the mail box rule.

B. commercial impracticability.

C. frustration of purpose.

D. true impossibility.

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Commercial impracticability refers to a situation whereby an event occurs which makes the performance of a contractual duty excessively burdensome, unbearably difficult, or extremely expensive, for the party committed to such performance.

As can be seen from the scenario given above, Ron will be incurring a loss of $40 were he to continue with the contract, this loss has rendered the contract commercially impracticable, and therefore, this will be Ron's best argument in support of his petition to be discharged from the contract.

A proposed new project has projected sales of $132,000, costs of $66,000, and depreciation of $13,500. The tax rate is 30%. Calc
Verizon [17]

Answer:Operating cash flow $ _50,250__

Yes, the answer is same in each case

Explanation:

a)   EBIT + Depreciation - Tax

= ($132,000-$66,000-$13,500) + $13,500 - Tax

= $52,500 + $13,500-(30% x $52,500)

=$52,500 + $13,500-15,750

EBIT + Depreciation - Tax=$50,250

b)Top down OCF = EBIT - (EBIT x Tax) + Depreciation  

Top down OCF = $52,500  - ($52,500 x 30%) +  $13,500  

Top down OCF = $52,500 -15,750 + $13,500

Top down OCF =$50,250

Tax shield OCF =(Sales - Cost)(1-t) + Depreciation (t)

Tax shield OCF = ($132,000-$66,000) (1-0.30) + ($13,500 x0.30)  

Tax shield OCF =$66,000 x 0.7 + 4,050

Tax shield OCF = 46,200+ 4,050

Tax shield OCF = $50,250

Bottom Up OCF = Net Income + Dep

Bottom Up OCF =($132,000-$66,000-$13,500 ) - Tax ) + Dep

Bottom Up OCF = $52,500-(0.3 x $52,500 )+ $13,500

Bottom Up OCF = $52,500 -15,750 + $13,500

Bottom Up OCF =$50,250

Sanchez Company has 48,000 shares of 7% preferred stock of $100 par and 92,000 shares of $50 par common stock issued and outstan
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Explanation:

The following parameters are given for dividends of three years;

Year 1 = $497,000, Year 2 = $490,000 Year 3 = $524,000.

The number of shares= 48,000 of 7%, preferred stock = $100 par and 92,000 shares of $50 par common stock issued and outstanding.

Therefore,

Year one:

=> Amount Distributed = $497,000.

=> Preferred dividend = 48,000 × 7% × $100 = 336,000.

=> Common dividend = 497,000 - 336,000 = 161,000.

=> Preferred divided per share = 336,000/ 48,000 = $ 7.

=> Common dividend = Common dividend/ 92,000 shares = 161,000/ 92,000 shares =$ 1.75.

Year Two:

=> Amount Distributed = $490,000.

=> Preferred dividend = 48,000 × 7% × $100 = 336,000.

=> Common dividend = 490,000 - 336,000 = 113,000.

=> Preferred divided per share = 336,000/ 48,000 = $ 7.

=> Common dividend = Common dividend/ 92,000 shares = 113,000/ 92,000 shares =$1.23.

Year Three:

=> Amount Distributed = $524,000.

=> Preferred dividend = 48,000 × 7% × $100 = 336,000.

=> Common dividend = $524,000 - 336,000 = 188,000.

=> Preferred divided per share = 336,000/ 48,000 = $7.

=> Common dividend = Common dividend/ 92,000 shares = 188,000/ 92,000 shares =$2.04

Sen Corp., a publicly-traded, mid-cap company, wanted to obtain $30 million in new capital to expand its Iowa plant. Cost of cap
Delvig [45]

Based on the information given, the approach that describes the strategy that was used by the company is that Sen Corp. should issue the debentures since the after-tax cost of debt (5.347%) would be less than the cost of equity (5.825%).

A debenture simply refers to the rule of bond that's unsecured by collateral. Debentures typically rely on the reputation of the issuer.

From the complete information, the company wants to obtain $30 million in new capital to expand its plant. Therefore, it's appropriate to issue the debentures since issue the cost of equity is more than the after-tax cost of debt.
