The Bassos contracted with Dierberg to purchase her property for $1,310,000. One term of the contract stated, "[t]he sale under

this contract shall be closed . . . at the office of Community Title Company. . . on May 16, 1988 at 10:00 am. . . . Time is of the essence of this contract." After forming the contract, the Bassos assigned their right to purchase Dierberg’s property to Miceli and Slonim Development Corp. At 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, Dierberg appeared at Community Title for closing. No representative of Miceli and Slonim was there, nor did anyone from Miceli and Slonim inform Dierberg that there would be any delay in the closing. At 10:20 am, Dierberg declared the contract null and void because the closing did not take place as agreed, and she left the title company office shortly thereafter. Dierberg had intended to use the purchase money to close another contract to purchase real estate later in the day. At about 10:30 AM, a representative of Miceli and Slonim appeared at Community Title to begin the closing, but the representative did not have the funds for payment until 1 :30 PM. Dierberg refused to return to the title company, stating that Miceli and Slonim had breached the contract by failing to tender payment on time. She had already made alternative arrangements to finance her purchase of other real estate to meet her obligation under that contract. Miceli and Slonim sued Dierberg, claiming that the contract did not require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, but rather some time on the day of May 16. Will they prevail?

Answer:

Certainly, they cannot prevail.  The contract terms stated clearly that "time is of the essence of this contract."  The Bassos and Miceli and Slonim Development Corp did not actually respect this contract term.

The contract was expected to have closed at 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, and not after.  By the time that Dierberg left the venue, the contract should have been finalized.  Alternatively, if there were unseen delays, Dierberg should have been informed at least 30 minutes before 10:00 am.

Explanation:

The argument by Miceli and Slonim does not hold water.  The contract did require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, and not some time on May 16.  In my considered opinion, suing Dierberg is a waste of court time and process.

On January 1, 2019, Metco Inc. reported 268,000 shares of $5 par value common stock as being issued and outstanding. On March 24
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend is 5,312.20 shares.

Explanation:

This can be determined as follows:

Number of shares before stock dividend = Number of shares reported on January 1, 2019 - Number of shares purchased for its treasury on March 24, 2019 + Number of treasury shares were sold on August 19, 2019 = 268,000 - 3,000 + 610 = 265,610

Number of dividend shares = Number of shares before stock dividend * Rate of stock dividend issued = 265,610 * 2% = 5,312.20

Therefore, the number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend is 5,312.20 shares.

Fixed Overhead Spending and Volume Variances, Columnar and Formula Approaches
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = $5,000 Unfavorable(U).

Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = $20,000  Favorable (F).

Explanation:

Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = Actual Fixed Overheads  - Budgeted Fixed Overheads

                                                              = $305,000 -  $300,000

                                                              = $5,000 Unfavorable(U).

Fixed Overheads Spending Variance = Fixed Overheads at Actual Production  - Budgeted Fixed Overheads

                                                              = ($5.00 × 64,000) - $300,000

                                                              = $320,000 - $300,000

                                                              = $20,000  Favorable (F)

How do you calculate the variable cost?
NikAS [45]

Calculate total variable cost by multiplying the cost to make one unit of your product by the number of products you've developed. For example, if it costs $60 to make one unit of your product, and you've made 20 units, your total variable cost is $60 x 20, or $1,200.

Hope this helps have a great day :)
