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.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

$150

Explanation:

Calculation of how much income that Gramps will recognize on the first payment.

Since joint survivor annuity has 23.1 as the annual return multiple .

Calculation for Expected return

Expected return =Annual payment *Return multiple

($500*12) =$6,000

$6,000×23.1

=$138,600

Therefore :

$97,020/$138,600

=0.7×100

=70%

The 70% of each of the payment will be the return of capital while the 30%(100%-70%) will be the income.

Hence the first payment be:

30%×500

=$150

Therefore the amount of income that Gramps will recognize on the first payment will be $150

everything else held constant, the interest rate on municipal bonds rises relative to the interest rate on treasury securities w
posledela

Interest rates would increase since the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds would lose some of its appeal and there would be less of a market for them as a result of the lower income tax rates.

When the income tax rate is reduced for municipal bonds, the value of the bonds will also decline because the tax-exempt status for the bonds will also be reduced as a result of the lower income tax rate. Additionally, it lessens the demand for municipal bonds.
