Answer:

cannot sue John for the extra $250 asJohn made the promise to him based on past consideration.

Explanation:

When Gerald was helping John build the garage, there was no agreement between them on payment for services. After the two weeks John made the promise to pay Gerald.

This is not a binding promise as John is paying Gerald at his own discretion as a past consideration, since no contract was agreed between them.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

$124,000 is the correct answer if we use 6% which is the correct question scenario. If we take 7% then its

Explanation:

The cash dividend announced is $160,000. Remember the first payment goes to preferred shareholders and then the amount left would be distributed among the ordinary shareholders.

The dividend share of Preferred shareholders = 6000 shares * $100 par value * 6% fixed rate = $36,000

After deducting this amount from the dividend announce will go to ordinary shareholders and is calculated as under:

Share of Dividend of ordinary shareholders = $160,000 - $36,000

= $124,000

Similarly if we use 7% fixed rate, then

The dividend share of Preferred shareholders = 6000 shares * $100 par value * 7% fixed rate = $42,000

After deducting this amount from the dividend announce will go to ordinary shareholders and is calculated as under:

Share of Dividend of ordinary shareholders = $160,000 - $42,000

= $124,000
