The answer is -$4,940
Explanation:
Net income = Profit before interest and tax minus interest minus taxes
We rewrite the formula to get interest:
Interest = Profit before interest and tax minus taxes minus net income
= $27,130 - $5,450 - $16,220
=$5,460
Cash flow to creditor equals:
Amount repaid to suppliers minus new amount borrowed plus interest
$31,600 - $42,000 + $5,460
-$4,940

Answer:
substantial performance.
Explanation:
From the question we are informed about painter which contracts to paint the exterior of the home for $1,750 plus the cost of paint and any other necessary materials. About three-fourths of the way through the job, the contractor breaks his leg and can't finish. The owner offers to pay the contract price less deductions for the cost of having the job completed by another painter, and the original painter accepts the offer. In this case, the contract has been discharged under the principle of substantial performance.
Substantial performance can be regarded as a term that is been
used as regards contract law, it is a principle that can be explained as
degree of performance of a contract that is not regarded as complete or full performance, but regarded as nearly equivalent which will be considered to be unfair if the contractor is denied the agreed payment in the contract.
