Bernard Flinn operated a business known as Harvey Investment Co., Inc./High Risk Loans. Flinn worked as a loan broker, matching

those who came to him with lenders willing to loan them money given their credit history and the amount involved. From 1982 through 1985, Flinn found loans for five people. Indiana requires that persons engaged in the business of brokering loans obtain a license from the state. Flinn was prosecuted for brokering loans without having a license. He raised the defense that he did not know that a license was required and that, accordingly, he lacked the criminal intent to broker loans without having a license. Does Flinn have a good defense ?

Answer:

The defense was not valid as per court.

Explanation:

The Indiana requirement of having license before initiating a credit business is to be fulfilled before starting the transactions and according to the customs when starting such business, a research is properly done to avoid any future claims and get firsthand knowledge of business initiation process.

Flinn’s statement to be unaware of the fact that it is necessary to get license, and non-criminal intentions are not justifiable as per the law because law is more of explicit things rather than implicit, i.e. acts and intentions, respectively.

So, the defense is not justifiable.

purchased a new piece of equipment for its research lab on January 1, 2015 for $45,200. The equipment is expected to have a usef
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The gain recognized on the equipment is $6,550

Explanation:

A straight-line depreciation method distributes depreciation costs evenly throughout the useful life of the equipment, and depreciation per year using this method is calculated thus:

Depreciation per year = (Cost of equipment - salvage value) ÷ useful life

= (45,200 - 6,100) ÷ 4 = 39,100 ÷ 4 = $9,775

This means that each year, the machine depreciates by a value of $9,775.

Next, we are given that the machine was sold for $32,200 after two years, to determine if a profit or loss was made, we will calculate the expected residual value after two years, and find the difference between this value and the selling price. The residual value is calculated thus:

Residual value = Cost of equipment - (depreciation per year × number of years used)

Residual value = 45,200 - ( 9,775 × 2 )

Residual value = 45,200 - 19,550 = $25,650

Difference between residual value and selling price = 32,200 - 25,650 = $6,550 (profit was made since the selling price was higher than the value of the equipment)

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

January $151,575

February $248,675

March $305,525

Explanation:

The computation of the cash collections is shown below:

January month

= January credit sales × month of sale collection percentage

= $202,100 × 75%

= $151,575

February month

= January credit sales × following month collection percentage + February credit sales  × month of sale collection percentage

= $202,100 × 25% + $264,200 × 75%

= $50,525 + $198,150

= $248,675

March month

= February credit sales × following month collection percentage + February credit sales  × month of sale collection percentage

=  $264,200 × 25%+ $319,300 × 75%

= $66,050 + $239,475

= $305,525
