Answer: the doctrine of unconscionability
Explanation:
The doctrine of unconscionability is a defense that is against enforcing a contract. From the question, we are informed that Orlin bought a refrigerator, on credit, from a salesman and the salesman want him to pay 10 times the worth of the refrigerator.
In this scenario, the contract is deemed to be unfair and also oppressive to Orlin, thus he a find it unconscionable and therefore he can refuse to enforce it. Therefore, if he wants to challenge the contract’s terms, the doctrine of unconscionability will be used.
Answer:
The land basis will be $8,000 and partnership basis will be $42,000.
Explanation:
The outside basis at the end of the year is $56,000.
The cash basis is $6,000.
The fair value of land is $14,000.
The land basis to RF is $8000.
The partnership basis will be
=Outside basis-cash basis-land basis
=$(56,000-6,000-8,000)
=$42,000.
So, the land basis will be $8,000 and partnership basis will be $42,000.
Answer:
d.$18,900
Explanation:
Gross Profit is the net of Sales value and production cost in the period for the units sold. Under absorption costing all the direct and indirect costs incurred in the production of products are included in the total production cost. As the cost is available for 100 units produced we need to calculate the cost of 90 unit and deduct this cost from the sales value to determine the gross profit and then deduct the operating expenses to calculate the operating income.
Sales (90 units) $90,000
Less: Production costs:
Direct materials ( $40,000 x 90/100 ) $36,000
Direct labor ( 20,000 x 90/100 ) $18,000
Variable factory overhead ( 2,000 x 90/100 ) $1,800
Fixed factory overhead ( 7,000 x 90/100 ) <u>$6,300</u>
Total Production cost <u>($62,100)</u>
Gross Profit $27,900
Less Operating expenses:
Variable operating expenses $8,000
Fixed operating expenses $1,000
<u>($9,000)</u>
Operating Income <u>$18,900</u>
