Answer:

Kentucky Lumber and MillWork Company Vs Rommell Company

Most likely, the court will decide that Kentucky should continue to perform its contract obligations.  We note that following the destruction of the mill by fire, Kentucky never invoked the clause of force majeure.   It continued to fulfill its obligations for a period of two months.  

Before the case comes to the court, Kentucky should have requested for a renegotiation of the contract price with Rommell if it had discovered that the cost of buying from third-party suppliers could prevent it from continuing with the contract.  Note that the fulfilment of a contract is not based on mere wishes but on facts, supported by the prevailing circumstances.

Explanation:

The court will decide to answer Rommell's prayers for an equitable relief by forcing Kentucky Mill to continue with the specific performance of the contract or to pay damages to Rommell for losses arising from the failure of Kentucky to fulfil the contract.

Answer:

Kentucky can gain advantage since it has not breached any terms of the contract.

Explanation:

Kentucky Lumber will be beneficiary of the decision since it is Rommel company who is ending up the contract but Kentucky Lumber is willing to continue the service according to the terms of the contract. Kentucky mill work was destroyed but it bought the equipment from a third party to continue providing the service according to the contract terms.

An employee has enrolled in his company's nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The benefit paid at the time of the employee'
OLga [1]

Answer:

A) taxable as ordinary income to the employee and can be taken as a deduction by the employer.

Explanation:

When an employee defers to receive the compensation plan he gets the benefit of lower tax bracket each year, ultimately decreasing his tax liability.

Further when he receives the complete amount his income stands taxable. Accordingly at that time ordinary tax rates as per FICA are applicable.

On the employers part it is only deductible when the employee includes it in the income of the year, and pays tax on such compensation received.

Thus, when he receives it as compensation on retirement it is normally taxable at ordinary rates to the employee and deduction can be claimed by the employer.
