Carl Critic has just announced his choices of the worst Hollywood actresses of the year, and Stella Starr has been named the wor

st of the worst. Carl's announcement, made in his weekly column titled "Random Musings by Carl Critic" and published in the local paper, claims that he believes her to have the least amount of talent in the movie industry and that she "can't act her way out of a paper bag" When Stella reads Carl's column, she immediately starts to cry hysterically and then decides to sue him. Does she have a valid case of libel? No, Carl committed slander, not libel. Yes, her crying proves injury. Yes, but only if his statements cause her to lose money by losing movie roles No, this was merely Carl's opinion.

Answer: No, this was merely Carl's opinion.

Explanation:

Labelling a statement as an opinion generally protects the person who said it from defamation suits however this is not always the case.

If the opinion is based on disclosed and well known facts, the action is free of defamatory or libel charges.

This seems to be the case in this scenario as his column seems to be based on the performances for the year.

Bottomline is, Stella cannot sue Carl for libel as it is his opinion.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

The greatest risk of a low-cost provider strategy is getting lost with overly high price reduction and ending up with lower profit.

<h3>Low-cost / low-price advantage </h3>

It results in high profit only if;

  • (1) prices are reduced by less than the size of the cost advantage or
  • (2) the added volume is large enough to bring in a bigger total profit despite lower margins per unit sold.

Therefore, the greatest risk is a low profit.

On January 1, 2012, Uncle Company purchased 80 percent of Nephew Company’s capital stock for $672,000 in cash and other assets.
Inga [223]

Answer:

a. $51,840

b. $15,440

Explanation;

a. First find the excess fair-value allocation;

= Fair value of Nephew - Book Value

Fair Value = Uncle ownership + Non-controlling interest

= 672,000 + 168,000

= $840,000

Excess fair value = 840,000 - 806,000

= $34,000

Any excess fair-value allocations are amortized over a 10-year period;

= 34,000/10

= $3,400

The Income to be recognized will be reduced by this yearly amotization so the 2014 income recognized by Uncle would be;

= (Nephew income - Amortization) * Uncle ownership stake

= ( 68,200 - 3,400) * 0.8

= $51,840‬

b. Nephew Company also owns 30% of Uncle which means that they will receive 30% of Uncle dividends.

= 0.3 * 30,000

= $9,000

Added to their own income;

= 9,000 + 68,200

= $77,200

The Non-controlling interest owns 20% so the income they will recognise is;

= 0.2 * 132,100

= $15,440‬
