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.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": a market in which a good can be bought and sold at the same price.

Explanation:

Competitive markets are those with large numbers of producers fighting against each other to fulfill consumers' needs. In these markets, the producers and consumers cannot determine the price of the goods or services being traded. Both <em>participants are price-takers</em> which imply they will come to a point in which the price level offered by producers and desired by consumers will be equal.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

the correct answer is the option D: neither firm has a dominant strategy

Explanation:

To begin with, if both firms decides to add pizza to their menu then they both will be competing with that new item in the market and therefore that none of them will be dominant due to the fact that both are now producing and selling the good. Moreover, it is not a nash equilibrium due to the fact that it is not stated if the players know the other one strategy and even though that the best strategy to take in order to establish one's dominance is to add pizza to the menu, what happens here is that both take that strategy making it in a situation where both tried their best to improve their situation and ended up using the same strategy.
