Answer: (C) Brian is liable because the court will pierce the corporate veil.

Explanation:

The phrase "PIERCING THE CORPORATE VEIL" is used to describe a situation where a Court decides to hold Corporate Shareholders and/or LLC Owners personally liable for the liabilities of a corporation.

When individuals act in a way that does not separate them from the company (dissolving this 'veil'), the Court looks upon this seriously and treats it in kind. Some instances of this happening are, failure to keep business and personal funds separate and diverting business assets for personal use without proper documentation as Brian seems to have done.

For this reason, the Court will very much likely Pierce the veil.

ella [17]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve for this question. However I have found similar question on the internet and I will be using that data. Besides, I have attached the data used in the attachment below.

Solution:

1. The debt-to-equity ratio is the best way to assess financial risk. A higher debt-to-equity ratio indicates a higher level of financial risk. This ratio represents the willingness of the equity of the owners to fulfil their obligations.

Formula used:

Debt-to-equity ratio  =  Total liabilities divided by owner's equity

For Clobes:

Total liabilities = 100,000

Owners' equity =  200,000

Debt-to-equity ratio = 100000/200000 = 0.5

For Snyder:

Total liabilities = 300,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/200000 = 1.5  

For Welz:

Total liabilities = 300,000

Owners' equity = 100,000

Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/100000 = 3

Welz faces the greatest financial risk because it has the highest debt-to-equity ratio. It has a debt-to-equity ratio of three. Even though it depends on the industry, a company's debt-to-equity ratio should be between 1 and 1.5 if it is considered optimal. In this case, Welz's financial risk is considerably higher.

2. calculate Return on Equity(ROE)

Formula used:

ROE = Net income / Owner's equity

For Clobes:  

Net income = 25,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

ROE = 25,000 / 200000 = 0.125

For Snyder:

Net income = 30,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

ROE = 30000 / 200000 = 0.15

For Welz:  

Net income = 20,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

ROE = 20000 / 100000 = 0.2

Welz has the highest return of equity (ROE) of 0.2.

As a result, Welz is the most profitable company.

3. Return on assets:

Formula used

Return on Assets = Net income / Total assets

For Clobes:  

Net income = 25,000

Total assets = 300,000

Return on Assets  = 25,000  / 300000 = 0.08

For Snyder:  

Net income = 30,000

Total assets = 500000

Return on Assets  = 30000 / 500000 = 0.06

For Welz:  

Net income = 20,000

Total assets = 400,000

Return on Assets  = 20000 / 400000 = 0.05

Hence,

Clobes has the highest return on assets, which is 0.08.

Suppose a publisher faces the following costs of producing 10,000 newspapers each month: $5,500 cost of labor; $2,200 monthly mo
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Variable cost = $6,550

Explanation:

Variable cost is the cost incurred during the production process that changes with quantity of goods produced. For example labor, machine operating cost, and raw materials.

The other type of cost is variable cost that does not change with volume of production, but rather remains constant. For example rent, tax, and so on.

In the given instance the costs that are variable are cost of labor, cost of electricity to run printing presses, and cost of ink for paper.

Monthly mortgage and property tax are fixed cost that must be paid regardless of production volume.

variable cost = $5,500 + $800 + $250

Variable cost = $6,550

Suppose that a delivery company currently uses one employee per vehicle to deliver packages. Each driver delivers 60 packages pe
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

a. What is the MRP per driver per day?

  • the marginal revenue product per driver = 60 packages x $20 = $1,200 per day

b. Now suppose that a union forces the company to place a supervisor in each vehicle at a cost of $300 per supervisor per day. The presence of the supervisor causes the number of packages delivered per vehicle per day to rise to 60  packages per day What is the MRP per supervisor per day? By how much per vehicle per day do firm profits fall after supervisors are introduced?

  • if the drivers were already delivering 60 packages per day without the supervisor, then the addition of the supervisor doesn't change anything. So the MRP of the supervisor is $0. That means that the company's profits will decrease by $300 per day due to the supervisors.

c. How many packages per day would each vehicle have to deliver in order to maintain the firm's profit per vehicle after supervisors are introduced?

  • $300 / 20 = 15 packages per day
  • in order to maintain the profit per vehicle, each team of delivery man + supervisor should be able to deliver 75 packages per day.

d. Suppose that the number of packages delivered per day cannot be increased but that the price per deliver might potentially be raised. What price would the firm have to charge for each delivery in order to maintain the firm's profit per  vehicle after supervisors are introduced?

  • $300 / 60 = $5
  • the price of each package delivered should increase by $5 to $25 per package.
