Would Davidson Masonry automatically be taxed as a partnership or a corporation? Is Davidson Masonry member managed or manager m

anaged? When Davidson Masonry and Lafayette entered an agreement to work together, what kind of special business form was created? Explain. Suppose that during construction, Lafayette had entered into an agreement to rent space in a warehouse that was close to the bridge so that she could work on her sculptures near the site where they would eventually be installed. She entered into the contract without the knowledge or consent of Davidson Masonry. In this situation, would a court be likely to hold that Davidson Masonry was bound by the contract that Lafayette entered? Why or why not?

Answer: The answers are provided below.

Explanation:

In Papagos Arizona, a deteriorating bridge on a prominent public roadway needed a repair. The city posted notices seeking proposals for an artistic bridge design and reconstruction. Davidson Masonry, LLC owned and managed by Carl Davidson and his wife - Marilyn Rowe, decided to submit a bid for a decorative concrete project that incorporated artistic metalwork. They contacted Shana Lafayette, a local sculptor who specialized in large-scale metal forms, to help them design the bridge. The city selected their bridge design and awarded them the contract for a commission of $184,000. Davidson Masonry and Lafayette then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Davidson Masonry agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Lafayette agreed to install the metalwork at her expense. They agreed that overall profits would be split, with 25 percent going to Lafayette and 75 percent going to Davidson Masonry. Lafayette designed numerous metal sculptures of salmon that were incorporated into colorful decorative concrete forms designed by Rowe, while Davidson performed the structural engineering. The group worked together successfully until the project was completed. Using the information presented in the chapter, answer the above question.

1. Would Davidson Masonry automatically be taxed as a partnership or a corporation?

2. Is Davidson Masonry member managed or manager managed?

3. When Davidson Masonry and Lafayette entered an agreement to work together, what kind of special business form was created? Explain.

4. Suppose that during construction, Lafayette had entered into an agreement to rent space in a warehouse that was close to the bridge so that she could work on her sculptures near the site where they would eventually be installed. She entered into the contract without the knowledge or consent of Davidson Masonry. In this situation, would a court be likely to hold that Davidson Masonry was bound by the contract that Lafayette entered? Why or why not?

1. A limited liability company will be taxed as a partnership unless the firm declares that it wants to be taxed as a corporation. A limited liability company that has at least two members can either choose to be taxed as a partnership or as a corporation.

In this case, the parties involved haven't declared to be taxed as a corporation, therefore they'll be taxed as a partnership.

2. Most states assume that a limited liability company is manager managed unless when it's otherwise stated by the articles of the organization. However, in this case, the text said that Davidson Masonry, was owned and managed by both members and since all the members of the LLC participates in management, then Davidson Masonry was member managed.

3. The kind of special business formed is a joint venture. Masonry and Lafayette then entered into an agreement to work together on the bridge project. Davidson Masonry agreed to install and pay for concrete and structural work, and Lafayette agreed to install the metalwork at her expense. They agreed to share the profit by ratio of 75% to 25%.

Joint Venture is a kind of business that is formed when two businesses combine their resources together and meet their different skill set in order to achieve a common business objective.

4. Joint venture possesses less power to bind members underlying the venture when compared to partnership. In this scenario, Lafayette had entered into an agreement to rent space without the knowledge or the consent of Davidson Masonry.

Based on this, Davidson Masonry is bound on the contract that Lafayette enters based on the principles of joint venture as both the members will be held liable for the agreement concerning the warehouse space.

An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A​ second-hand
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The second hand machine should be chosen given that the NPV value is lower than that of the new system

Explanation:

cost of second hand system = $75,000

cost of  new system = $150,000

New system can decrease labor hours by 20%

number of useful life ( for both systems ) = 5 years

market value of second hand system after 5 years = $20,000

market value of new system after 5 years = $50,000

Second hand system can operate for 8 hours/day for 20 days = 8*20 = 160 hours per month = 1920 hours per year

labor cost = $40 per hour

MARR = 1% per month

<u> Determine the system that should be recommended</u>

we have to calculate the NPV for both options

for Option 1 ( second hand system )

labor cost = 40 * 1920 = $76800

cost of purchase = $75,000

MARR = 12% p.a.

residual value = $20000

First step : calculate the PV of maintenance cost = $76800× PVAF(12%, 5 years) = $276864

Next : calculate the PV of residual value =$20000× PVF(12%, 5th year)

= $11340

NPV = (75000 + 276864 - 11340 ) = $340,524

for Option 2 ( New Machine )

Labor cost = ( 1920 × 0.8 )hours ×40  = $61440

cost of machine = $150000

Pv of labor cost = 61440×3.605  = $221491.20

Residual value = $50,000

Hence ; PV of residual value = 50000 × 0.567 = $28350

Finally calculate the NPV = (150000+221491.20-28350) = $343,141.20

A bond with 25 years to maturity, 7% coupon, quoted on a 6.25% basis is callable in 10 years at 103, 15 years at 102, and 20 yea
eduard

Answer: 10 years to call

Explanation:

Maturity period = 25 years

Coupon rate = 7%

6.25% basis is,

  • Callable in 10 years at 103
  • Callable in 15 years at 102
  • Callable in 20 years at par

This bond is considered as premium bond. Therefore, in case of premium bonds, Yield to call will be lower than the yield to maturity. Here, the question is which call date should be utilized. According to the rule of thumb, it states that always use the term that is nearest to the whole call date.

Hence, on the customer's confirmation, the dollar price quoted must be based on 10 years to call.
