Sarah owns half of Smith Realty, Inc., and her brother Bill owns the other half. Sarah routinely uses the company car, which is

supposed to be used only for taking clients to view property, not to run her personal errands. She also routinely uses company funds for personal uses, but always pays the money back in to the corporation. When Smith Realty failed to pay its lawyer for work completed on its behalf, the lawyer sued Smith Realty as well as Sarah and Bill personally. In this situation the court likely will: a. not pierce the corporate veil, because there was no commingling of interests. b. not allow Sarah and John to be sued individually, because Smith Realty is a close corporation. c. pierce the corporate veil due to Sarah's comingling of interests. d. dismiss the case, because Smith Realty is a close corporation.

Answer:

(c) pierce the corporate veil due to Sarah's commingling of interests

Explanation:

Commingling of interests usually occurs when an investment manager or realtor combines client money with their own or their firm's, in violation of a contract. This can occur in legal cases, corporate client accounts and real estate transactions. For example in this case Sarah has violated her rights as a realtor by routinely using their company funds for her own personal uses.

Answer:

C) pierce the corporate veil due to Sarah's commingling of interests.

Explanation:

Smith Realty Inc. is a closed corporation since its only shareholders are Sarah and Bill. The corporate veil is a legal principle that separates the actions of the corporation from the actions of its owners, both Sarah and Bill. Piercing the corporate veil means that the limited liability protection that Sarah and Bill had as stockholders will be eliminated. That means that the corporation and the stockholders will be treated as one same entity, something similar to a partnership.

A court might decide to pierce the corporate veil in Sarah's case, it will be very difficult to to sue Bill for Sarah's wrongdoings. The lawyer can claim that Sarah commingled her own interests with the interests of the corporation because she used the corporation's assets for her own personal use, therefore she can be considered a single entity with it. In this case, commingling means to mix the shareholder's interest with the corporation's interests.

​Wellness, a healthy living​ magazine, collected in subscription revenue on May 31. Each subscriber will receive an issue of the
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: $220,000

Explanation:

Using the Accrual Method of Accounting means that revenue is only to be recorded when it is earned i.e. when services have been delivered.

Any revenue received when the services have not been delivered will be recorded as Unearned Revenue.

With $528,000 in subscription revenue, the monthly subscription is;

= 528,000/12

= $44,000

From June to December would be 7 months so they would have earned;

= 44,000 * 7

= $308,000

The amount that they have not earned but have received would therefore be;

= 528,000 - 308,000

= $220,000

<em>This amount will be recorded after they finish deliveries of magazines in next year May. </em>

Suppose People's bank offers to lend you $10,000 for 1 year on a loan contract that calls for you to make interest payments of $
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

10.38%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the effective annual rate of the loan is shown below:

= (1 + nominal interest rate ÷ periods)^ number of period - 1

The nominal interest rate is shown below:

= $250 × 4 ÷ $10,000

= $1,000 ÷ $10,000

= 0.1

Now the effective annual rate is

= (1 + 0.1 ÷ 4)^4 - 1

= (1 + 0.025)^4 - 1

= 1.025^4 - 1

= 10.38%

Since the interest rate is measured on a quarterly basis, we know there are four quarters in a year and we do the same in the calculation part.

This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
