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.

Phil purchased a car today at a price of $8,500. He paid $300 down in cash and financed the balance for 36 months at 5.75 percen
Yanka [14]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\large\boxed{\$ 248.53}}

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the <em>monthly payment</em> for fixed-rate loans is:

     Monthly\text{ }payment=Loan\times \bigg[\dfrac{r(1+r)^t}{(1+r)^t-1}\bigg]

Where:

  • Loan = $8500 - $300 = 8,200
  • r is the monthly interest = 5.75% / 12 = 0.0575/12 ≈ 0.00479
  • t is the number of moths = 36

Substituting:

Monthly\text{ }payment=\$8,200\times \bigg[\dfrac{(0.0575/12)(1+(0.0575/12))^{36}}{(1+(0.0575/12))^{36}-1}\bigg]=\$ 248.53

Without buying points, a monthly mortgage payment will be $958. Buying 1 point at closing would reduce the payment to $948. 75.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

The time taken to break even at buying 1 point will be in<u> 9 years</u>.

Given,

  • Monthly mortgage payment =$958
  • Monthly payment will be reduced to buy 1 point =$948.75
  • Cost of each point =$1,000

Computation:

1. The computation of the reduced amount in the monthly mortgage payment:

\begin{aligned}\text{Reduced Amount}&=\text{Original Payment}-\text{Reduced Payment}\\&=\$958-\$948.75\\&=\$9.25\end{aligned}

2. The computation of yearly mortgage payment:

\begin{aligned}\text{Yearly Mortgage Payment}&=\text{Reduced Amount}\times\text{Total Months in a Year}\\&=\$9.25\times12\\&=\$111\end{aligned}

3. The computation of the number of years for the break-even by buying 1 point:

\begin{aligned}\text{Number of Years}&=\dfrac{\text{Cost of Point}}{\text{Amount og Yearly Mortgage Payment}}\\&=\dfrac{\$1,000}{\$111}\\&=9.00\;\text{Years}\end{aligned}

Therefore, to break even by buying 1 point the holder requires 9 years to reach.
