Allegheny Energy Supply Co. and Monogahela Power Co., a subsidiary, filed suit against Anker West Virginia Mining Co., later acq

uired by International Coal Group, for breach of contract. The parties had a contract for Allegheny and Monogahela to buy all of the coal produced from a proposed "Sycamore 2" mine, located in Harrison County, W.Va. The coal promised amounted to about 1.8 million tons per year, not less than 20 million tons total. Anker has never produced the necessary amount of coal, topping out at 480,000 tons per year in total from the mine. Anker had sent a letter to Allegheny in 2006 claiming physical difficulties at the mine and a change in the enforcement of regulations relating to coal mining near gas wells hampered their ability to extract coal from the mine. As a result, Anker said it was unable to deliver the necessary coal. Which defense to performance is Anker relying on?
A) Misrepresentation
B) Parol evidence
C) Failure of conditions
D) Force majeure

Five individuals organized Miami Music Corporation on January 1. At the end of January 31, the following monthly financial data
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

a. Profit(loss) = Total revenue - Total expenses

= 131,000 - 90,500

= $41,000

The company did in fact generate<u> profit of $41,000 </u>and this can be shown from the Income Statement which is where profit or loss is calculated.

b. A company uses its assets to pay off its liabilities so if the liabilities are less than the assets then the company is capable of paying off its liabilities:

Assets = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Supplies

= 30,800 + 25,300 + 40,700

= $96,800

Liabilities are just the Accounts Payable of $25,700.

<em>Liabilities are less than Assets so Miami Music does indeed have sufficient resources to pay its liabilities. </em>

This information comes from the <u>Balance Sheet</u> which is where assets and liabilities are shown.

NeX [460]

Answer:

22.13%

Explanation:

The effective annual rate formula below can be used to determine the actual rate charged by the bank as follows:

Effective annual rate=(1+APR/n)^n-1

APR=20%

n=number of times interest is computed yearly=365

Effective annual rate=(1+20%/365)^365-1

Effective annual rate=1.221335858 -1

Effective annual rate=22.13%
