Answer: Harvey company will record the equipment at $14,700 is its books.

We usually record equipment at the actual price at which it was bought. Even though Harry company was willing to pay only $13,000, it actually went ahead and paid $14,700 to purchase the equipment.

We don’t consider the retail price here, since Harvey company did not buy the equipment from the retail market.

In the advertisement, Carrey Company probably put a value of $19,000 (by considering the retail rate) to see the market response to buy the at that price. So, we don’t consider that either.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

d. the business judgment rule will not apply.

Explanation:

A corporation can be defined as a corporate organization that has facilities and owns or controls assets used for the production of goods and services in at least one country other than its headquarter (home office) located in its home country.

One of the advantage of a corporation is that, owners have limited liability for debt to the extent to which they have invested and as such are not personally liable for some of debt owed by corporation.

A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of providing guidance, support, supervision, administrative control, as well as acting as a role model or example to the employees working in an organization by being morally upright.

Generally, managers are typically involved in taking up leadership roles and as such are expected to be build a strong relationship between their employees or subordinates by creating a fair ground for effective communication and sharing of resources and information. Also, they are required to engage their staff members (entire workforce) in the most efficient and effective manner.

In Business management, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a manager's corporate decision amounted to self-dealing i.e putting his or her own interests first, the business judgment rule will not apply.

Generally, in order for the business judgement rule to apply, it is expected or required that a manager should act in the best interest of a corporation.

a) Nelson Company's current ratio is the measure of the company's ability to settle maturing short-term liabilities with short-term financial resources.  It is is measured as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities.

b) Nelson's acid-test ratio takes away the encumbrances that can slow the conversion of current assets into cash for the settlement of current liabilities.  In this case, the inventory, stores supplies, and prepaid insurance are excluded.

c) Nelson has a robust gross margin ratio of more than 60%.  This means that it is able to limit the cost of goods sold to below 40%.  However, management of Nelson Company is unable to control its periodic costs in order to generate reasonable net income, as it can only turn less than 9% of the sales into returns for J. Nelson.
