Michone lost her job and ended up deep in debt after she was arrested for causing a car accident while she was drinking and driv

ing. The victim in the car accident sued Michone and was awarded $40,000 in damages. Michone declared bankruptcy before she paid the victim the amount of the judgement. A couple of years before Michone declared bankruptcy, she purchased a house with a mortgage of $500,000. At the time of her bankruptcy, the house sold for $400,000. In addition, Michone was behind in her property taxes in the amount of $8,000. The attorney’s fees for the bankruptcy were $4,000. She also owed back child support in the amount of $5,000. List Michone’s creditors and the priority of their claims. In addition, if Michone only had $10,000 for the creditors listed in this discussion forum, how much would each of the creditors receive?

Answer:

Michone's creditors (listed in order of priority):

  1. bank = $500,000 mortgage (secured loan)
  2. child support = $5,000 (priority class of unsecured creditors)
  3. legal fees = $4,000 (second class of unsecured creditors)
  4. State government* = property taxes for $8,000 (eighth class of unsecured creditors, but property taxes are always collected after a property is sold either by foreclosure or by court order). Even if the new buyer didn't know anything about the delinquent property taxes, he/she is responsible for paying them after the sale is made and it cannot be avoided.
  5. car accident victim = $40,000 (tenth class of unsecured creditor)

*Generally taxes owed are a lower class of priority unsecured creditors, but taxes never disappear. In this case, the property taxes are going to be paid by whoever bought the house or the bank in case the house was foreclosed. Michone will not pay them, but someone else will.

Assuming that Michone only had $10,000 left after selling the house (both property taxes and mortgage are paid for), she will need to pay child support first. Child support and alimony payments always have the top priority.

Then with the remaining $5,000 administrative and legal fees will be paid, meaning that the attorney fees will be paid first. The car accident victim will receive only $1,000.

The Sedgwick Company estimates sales of a new product at 5,000 units and $3.00 per unit. Management feels the sales quantity is
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

B) $12,825

Explanation:

In order to calculate the worst case scenario of sales first we need to calculate the worst case for sales of units.

The Company estimates that 5,000 units will be sold with a 10 percent plus-or-minus range. So, let calculate the worst case for the sale of units, in this case being 90% of the 5,000 unit estimate. Calculate 90% of 5,000, and this gives us 4,500 units as the worst case scenario.

To calculate the the worst case scenario for price, lets use the $3.00 per unit estimated by the Company, and apply the same concept, however, taking into account that sales price has a 5 percent plus-or minus range. So we caclulate %95 of $3.00, and this gives us $2.85 as our worst case scenario for price.

Now, we take our worst case scenario for amount of units and price:

4,500 units x $2.85 = $12,825

$12,825 is the total dollar amount for the worst case scenario of this product.
