Answer: return on equity

Explanation:

The return on equity is simply a measure of how profitable a business will be when it's being compared to its equity. Return on equity is the net income divided by the equity. It can also be gotten when liabilities is deducted from assets.

In the above analysis, return on equity equals 5% because 100 cents make 1 dollar. Therefore, 5/100 × 100 gives 5%.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Policies consistent with the goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries are:

1. Protecting property rights and enforcing contracts

2. Providing tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences

Explanation:

To increase productivity and growth in developing countries, it is important that developing countries enhance the mechanisms for protecting property rights and enforcing contracts.  These are the bases for attracting more foreign direct investments.  The court system should be a system where justice is obtained and a system which can enforce the rights of individuals to own property.  Without this basic ingredient, foreign direct investments will be hard to attract.

<h3>What is the cost of goods sold? </h3>

A report known as an adjusted trial balance lists all the debit and credit firm accounts exactly as they would appear on the accounting records after reconciliations have been made. Therefore, option D is the correct option.

Read and compare the following two scenarios. Explain why the court should or should not pierce the corporate veil in each scena
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Piercing the Corporate Veil:

1. Smith Services, Inc. and Laker Express:  With the given facts, Smith Services is still in operation by the alter ego, since Smith - the sole owner, has continued to provide trucking services.  Smith should be able to pay for the debts it owed Laker Express.  The question is: why was Smith Services, Inc. dissolved in the first place when the sole owner could continue privately to do the same business?  Is there element of fraud involved, or was it trying to avoid its obligations?  It seems that the dissolution was an effort to avoid liabilities and not because of impaired ability to operate the business because its own debtors did not pay for services on several contracts.  Another question is: during the dissolution or liquidation of Smith Services, Inc. were other creditors not settled and where was Laker Express then?

However, it appears that the dissolution was just to avoid liability, especially the $35,000 debt owed to Laker Express for fuel purchases.

Therefore, in this situation where it seems that the corporate form is ignored, commingling of assets exists, and that Smith Services, Inc. is an instrumentality for Tony Smith, I will advise that the corporate veil be lifted.  Tony Smith should be held liable for the business debts of Smith Services, Inc. because he has continued to use the assets of Smith Services, Inc. to run a sole proprietorship in the same line of business.  However, recourse must be had to the State laws on piercing the corporate veil.

2. Country Contractors, Inc. & Westside Storage of Indianapolis:

Since Country Contractors, Inc and the Westside Storage are based in Indiana, the decision to pierce the corporate veil should be based on the eight factors that are applicable for piercing the veil:  They include: undercapitalization;  absence of corporate records;  fraudulent representation by corporation shareholders or directors;  use of the corporation to promote fraud, injustice or illegal activities;  payment by the corporation of individual obligations;  commingling of assets and affairs;  failure to observe required corporate formalities; or  other shareholder acts or conduct ignoring, controlling, or manipulating the corporate form.

But, the facts in this case do not support that any of the factors had been breached.

So, I do not support that Songers are personally liable for Country's failure to complete its contract.

Explanation:

The corporate veil is an important instrument for protecting shareholders of corporations from being held liable for the liabilities of the corporation in their individual and personal capacities.  Corporate veil ensures that the entity is treated as a separate entity from its shareholders.  It is a protection offered by law to encourage private enterprise and ensure that the debts of corporate bodies are not tagged to the individual shareholders.  It is this veil that ensures the limited liability concept, whereby, the shareholders could only lose their capital contributions in case of business failure or dissolution.

Piercing the corporate veil is a court decision to lift the veil that separates the shareholders of corporation from their shareholders.  There are special factors that must be met for courts to pierce the corporate veil and they do it reluctantly.
