Cheap Motorcycle. Tony, a hateful, disgruntled business law professor, notices that Peter, a student who is past the age of majo

rity, has bought a new motorcycle. Peter has struggled through school, is in his last semester, and needs to pass business law in order to graduate. Tony tells Peter that he would like to see Peter pass, and in the next sentence, Tony says that he wants to buy the motorcycle for $100, a price far below the value of the motorcycle. Peter asks if Tony is serious about the price, and Tony replies, "I have the power here!" Tony proceeds to draw up a contract for the sale of the motorcycle for $100 with lots of fine print by which he can sue Peter and recover any maintenance costs for the next five years. Seeing that he is at an advantage, Tony also throws into the deal that Peter will mow Tony's one-acre yard for $5 all summer long. After Tony tells Peter to either take the contract or leave it, Tony reluctantly signs. Which of the following is an appropriate term for the contract drawn up by Tony?
A) AdhesionB) Implied-in-lawC) IllusoryD) In pari delictoE) Exculpatory

Answer:

C) Illusory

Explanation:

More than an illusory contract (which means an unreasonable and non-enforceable contract), this is an unconscionable contract that no court would enforce.

This contract is so one sided that it damages the other party. The duties in clued in this contact are not enforceable because no person should be forced to do all those things just because the other party has more bargaining power.

Out of the 5 possible options the illusory contract is the only possible choice. Illusory contracts are also non-enforceable since only one side provides real consideration.

Becky Knauer recently resigned from her position as controller for Shamalay Automotive, a small, struggling foreign car dealer i
andre [41]

Answer:

1. The ethical issue here is that Becky Knauer's new boss usually bribes the sales manager of a car dealership to get more quota of cars. He is doing this because the car is in high demand. The higher his quota, the higher the number of cars. The higher the number of cars, the more of them he can sell. The more he can sell, the higher the profits.

Here is the dilemma.  

First, the action of Becky's boss is wrong, but it is also helping to keep the business afloat thus translating to securing her job and probably sustaining the pay she is receiving. We know this because Becky's former employer who receives just 25 cars a month is not very profitable.  

Becky as the Controller, however, is in charge of Compliance. The actions of her boss are unethical. She has to flag such issues and report to him.

Franz is the owner of the dealership and is on the top of the 'food chain'. There is no one else within the organisational structure to report the matter to. He is supposed to lead by example. He, as the owner of the organisation, however, is leading with a bad example because other sales personnel know about these shady transactions.

2.  Becky's options are as follows:

A. If she is too scared to confront her boss, she can decide to resign. She would have lost her job. There is no guarantee she will get another and the unethical practices will continue.

B. She can raise the issue with her boss and point out the dangers of continuing in such practice. By doing this, she is ruling out the possibility that he somehow is unaware of the dangers of his actions. In raising the matter with her boss, she must do this in black and white.

The above decision can go either left or right.  

Right means that her boss comes to understand the import of his actions and makes amends. Left means, he gets jittery and fires her.

3. As stated above, Franz may fire Becky if she flags his actions.

If this happens, she can take the matter to the State of New Jersy Motor Commission and possibly sue Franz for wrongful dismissal.      

Cheers!

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

There are two columns in the trial balance, namely columns of debits and columns of credits. It is always important to balance the total debit and credit columns. The debit columns reflect assets and expenses side while sales, stockholder equity, and the liability side are listed in the credit column.

After passing the adjusting entries, the account balances are updated which we called a post-closing trial balance

The owner of a condominium hired a cleaning and junk removal service to clean his condominium after he moved. The parties agreed
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Condominium Cleaning

The creditor is entitled to recover:

= $1,350.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Contract price agreed between condominium cleaner and owner = $1,500

Cost of cleaning the oven that was not done by the cleaner = $150

Creditor's claim from the contract price = Contract price minus cost of cleaning the oven

= $1,350 ($1,500 - $150)

b) This means that the creditor will recover less than the contract price because of the oven that was left uncleaned.  Since the cost of hiring a substitute to clean the oven is $150, this amount will be deducted from the contract price, and then, the creditor can recover the balance.
