Both Viacom and Paramount owned a diverse group of entertainment businesses. QVC was a televised shopping channel. The Paramount

board of directors was considering a merger offer from Viacom at a price of $69 per share. QVC and Viacom then entered a bidding war for Paramount. QVC ultimately made the highest offer, at $90 per share. The Paramount board rejected QVC’s bid on the grounds that a Viacom merger would be more in keeping with Paramount’s business strategy. Was the board in violation of the business judgment rule?

Answer:

The business judgement rule states that if the board takes decision in good faith and in best interest of the corporation considering the information available then its decision is not to be questioned by the courts. The courts can intervene only if there is any breach of good faith, due care or loyalty.

     The above case is similar in facts with another case paramount vs time. In that case Time decided to merge with another company named Warner. Paramount also started bidding for Time but the directors of Time rejected their bid offer citing that warner merger would be more suitable for the company strategy.

Paramount then brought the case against Time in court.The court stated that the instant case was different from another case (REVLON VS MacAndrews) where Revlon was up for sale and hence it was necessary for the board to sell its assets to the highest bidder.

Answer: b. Open Item

Explanation:

The statement that Heather wants to help a client send out is to include unpaid invoices, unapplied payments, and Credit Memos which are essentially signs that the creditor has not been paid.

An open item statement would therefore work best because it is to include open accounts that are yet to be paid so will include all those entries described above.
