Answer: d) Cannot sue Bob for misrepresentation

Explanation: A misrepresentation is a false statement made from one person to another that a certain fact is true or accurate when it is indeed false. The fact that the value of the stock I bought on Bob's opinion does not give me the right to sue him for misrepresentation (intentional). The reason is this, Bob's expression of his opinion concerning the HotNet stock does not usually constitute a misrepresentation even when it turns out that his opinion is incorrect. It wasn't intended, however, he could be sued for negligent misrepresentation.

marissa [1.9K]

Any increase in government spending must be offset by an increase in revenue and/or cuts in spending elsewhere in the budget.

<h3>What does Texas Constitution require a balanced budget?</h3>
  • Texas always keeps its budget balanced because the State Constitution demands it. The Texas state and local sales taxes exceed 10% of the individual transaction price. The primary operating fund for Texas is the General Revenue Dedicated Fund.
  • A constitutional amendment known as the "balanced budget amendment" would restrict government spending to the amount of revenue it receives. Spending would need to be under control by the federal government.

An amendment to the texas constitution requires a balanced budget. This means that any increase in government spending must be offset by an increase in revenue and/or cuts in spending elsewhere in the budget.

According to a balanced budget, a government should not spend more than its income. Thus projected incomes and expenditures should be equal.

The shareholders’ equity of Tru Corporation includes $540,000 of $1 par common stock and $1,140,000 par of 7% cumulative preferr
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

$12,600

Explanation:

Annual Dividend to preferred stock = $1,140,000 × 7%

                                                           =  $79,800

A schedule of preferred stock dividend in Arrears is as follows :

               Dividend              Paid                Arrears

2016        $79,800           $54,000           $25,800

2017        $79,800           $54,000           $51,600

2018        $79,800           $131,400                 0

Dividends of $131,400 has to be paid in 2018 to cover all the arrears.

Principle : Preference dividends (and their arrears if cumulative) are paid first before dividends distribution to common stock holders.

Common Stock Holders receive the remaining amount of dividends of $12,600 ($144,000 - $131,400)

Carter Pearson is a partner in Event Promoters. His beginning partnership capital balance for the current year is $55,500, and h
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

b. 9.75%

Explanation:

When a partner invests in a business, he/she expects to get return on his equity in the business. The major reason for this is to compare his/her return in the partnership business with the return he/she could get elsewhere.

The return on partner equity is calculated by dividing his/her net income from the partnership business by his/her average capital for the period.

The formula is given below:

<u> Net income       </u>  x 100

Average capital

Average capital  = <u>Opening capital balance + Closing capital balance</u>

                                                                    2

For Carter Pearson, the average capital is =<u> $55,500 + $62,500</u>

                                                                                   2

= $59,000

The return on equity will be: <u>$5,750  </u> x 100

                                                $59,000

= 9.7457

= 9.75%   - approximate to two decimal point.
