Answer & Explanation:

a).  The contract between Lisa and Bob is valid and enforceable as a valid contract is an agreement between parties lacking no element. The contract was very detailed and well discussed regardless of Bob drinking it is still enforceable unless Bob can proof that the intoxication impaired his judgement and made him incompetent to sign the contract thereby making it void.

b).  The contract will be valid if Bob signed it before the drinks arrived as the document was complete and his signature show acceptance of the terms of the contract.

c). A minor can not enter into a contract as they may lack the capacity to enter into a valid contract. As such, if Bob was a minor regardless of him being sober any contract signed by him can be completely voidable.

Jacob Corcoran bought 10,000 shares of Grebe Corporation stock two years ago for $24,000. Last year, Jacob received a nontaxable
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that :

Jacob Corcoran bought 10,000 shares of Grebe Corporation stock two years ago for $24,000.

Last year, Jacob received a nontaxable stock dividend of 2,000 shares in Grebe Corporation, and

In the current tax year, Jacob sold all of the stock received as a dividend for $18,000.

The objective is to prepare a memo for the tax research file describing the tax consequences of the stock sale.

From the tax research file:

The gain on the sale of the 2,000 shares is calculated by the difference from the sales price and the shares sold.

I.e $24000 - $18000 = $6000

The tax rate on the $2000 = Purchase price of the shares/ (Original shares bought + new shares)

The tax rate on the 2000 shares = $24000/($10000+$2000)

The tax rate on the 2000 shares=  $24000/$12000

The tax rate on the 2000 shares=  $2 / shares

The Gain in the share = selling price - tax basis in the 2,000 new shares

The Gain in the share =  $18000 - $4000

The Gain in the share = $14000

∴

This is the long capital gain i.e  $14000

The memo in summary goes thus:

The amount of $24000 is being paid by you for 10000 shares of stock in Grebe Corporation in which a stock dividend of 2000 was received. However, the share is sold for $18000, the tax basis is deduced by dividing $24000 purchasing price by $12000(original price + new shares price) which resulted into a $2/ shares.  The $14,000 gain on the sale is a long-term capital gain. The gain on the sale is long term because the original Grebe stock has been held for more than one year.

Aflak Corporation, an Omani firm, is currently planning goods market in India. Aflak Corporation will most likely discover that_
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The correct answer is B) traditional.

Aflak Corporation, an Omani firm, is currently planning goods market in India. Aflak Corporation will most likely discover that traditional beliefs and values are more open to change in India.

When a multinational company is planning on initiating operations in another country, it has to be very sensible of the traditional values of that country. The company is getting into a new market and people could have different belief systems, different culture, traditions, and customs, that need to be carefully assessed by the multinational company if they are about to be successful in the new country.

This is the case of India, which has always have very strict traditional values, although younger generations are relaxing those values in recent years.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The correct answer is all of the above

Explanation:

Scrap or the rework costs are the costs which is incurred in order to repair the   items that are defective. And the decision to rework or scrap an item or product, ground on the benefits or advantage of the incremental costs.

If the reworked units generate or yield greater advantage or benefit rather than the selling them as scrap, then the decision to rework will be considered.

And if the decision of rework is taken, then the management should consider the incremental costs, revenue or profit from selling the defective units as scarp and the lost profit on selling and making the new units while the rework is performed.

Cost is most plainly visible when spending more money on one thing means that less money can be spent on another thing. True or
SSSSS [86.1K]

The given statement about cost is a true statement as cost becomes most obvious when more money must be spent on one thing, leaving less available for another.

<h3>What is the cost?</h3>

A cost is often the value of the money that was expended during the production or delivery of something or service and is now unavailable for use.

Manufacturing, research, retail, and accountancy all make use of this idea. In business transactions, the cost may be an acquisition cost, in which case the amount of money spent to acquire it is considered to be part of the cost.

Finally, cost becomes most apparent when more money spent on one thing leaves less money for another. This corresponds to a true statement.

As a result, opportunity cost describes a decision we must make in order to make another one.

You have $50, for instance, which you may spend on a date with your partner or on your preferred game. The inability to purchase the game is your opportunity cost if you decide to utilize that money to take your partner out on a date.
