Beck was the general manager of Chilkoot Lumber Co. Haines sold fuel to the company. To persuade Haines to sell on credit, Beck

signed a paper by which he promised to pay any debt the lumber company owed Haines. He signed this paper with his name followed by "general manager." Haines later sued Beck on this promise, and Beck raised the defense that the addition of "general manager" showed that Beck, who was signing on behalf of Chilkoot, was not personally liable and did not intend to be bound by the paper. Was Beck liable on the paper?

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Beck was the general manager of company. By signing the company's document, actually company is liable to pay that amount not individual. The claim that Haines make is incorrect as any liability is supposed to be beared by company. The claim that Beck made is correct. because he wrote general manager which means he is an employee of that company. So, liability falls on company rather than individual.

For a levered firm, flotation costs should
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The answer is option B. For a levered firm, flotation costs should <u>be spread over the life of a project, thereby reducing the cash flows for each year of the project.</u>

Explanation:

When a company’s securities are listed on a public exchange, there is a general saying that securities are floated on the exchange. That is how the name flotation costs came about.

Flotation is actually the costs  incurred by a company in issuing its securities to public.  it is also called issuance costs.

Examples of Flotation costs include charges paid to the investment bankers, lawyers, accountants, registration fees of the securities regulator and the exchange on which the issue is to be listed.

Flotation cost would vary based on several factors, such as company’s size, issue size, issue type (debt vs equity),

In summary, Flotation costs are the cost a company incurs to issue new stock making new equity cost more than existing ones.

Business analysts argue that flotation costs are a one-time expense that should be adjusted out of future cash flows in order to not overstate the cost of capital forever.

It is based on this premise that i chose option B, which states that flotation costs be spread over the life of a project thereby reducing the cash flows for each year of the project at levered firms.

= 19,000,000 * 15 * 0.2

= $57,000,000

<em>Martin's pretax earnings will be reduced by $57 million because the company would have to cover the discount on the shares. </em>
