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.

Sue Gastineau borrowed $17,000 from Regions Bank at a rate of 5.5% to open her lingerie shop. The date of the loan was March 5.
dezoksy [38]

Sue will pay back $507.20 in interest expense.

Explanation:

The formula for calculating simple interest is:

SI = P x r x t ÷ 100

  • P = Principal
  • r = Rate of Interest
  • t = Term of the loan/deposit in years

In the given problem,

  • Sue Gastineau borrowed $17,000 from Regions Bank so, P = $17000
  • Sue Gastineau borrowed $17,000 from Regions Bank at a rate of 5.5%, so r = 5.5 %
  • Number of days of the loan = March 5 to September 19
  • Sue borrowed $17,000 from Regions Bank for the period of = 198 days, So t = 198 / 365

Simple Interest = (17000 * (5.5/100) * (198/365))

Simple Interest = (17000 * (0.055) * (0.5424657534246575‬))

Simple Interest = (17000 * (0.055) * (0.5424657534246575‬))

Simple Interest = $507.20

puteri [66]

Answer:

Simple rate of return = 6.25%

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Net operating income = saving - depreciation on machine

Investment =  cost price - scrap value

So, we can calculate the simple rate of return by using following formula:

Simple rate of return = Net operating income ÷ investment

By putting the value, we get

= ($138,000 - $89,200) ÷ ($802,800 - $22,200)

= 0.0625

= 6.25%

Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects: Year Cash Flow (A) Cash Flow (B) 0 –$218,917 –$16,419 1 25,700 5,985 2 5
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The IRR (in %) for Project A is 31%.

Explanation:

Let IRR be x%

At IRR, present value of inflows = present value of outflows.  

218917 = 25700/1.0x + 53000/1.0x^2 + 58000/1.0x^3 + 420,000/1.0x^4

solving for x, we find:

x = 31%

Therefore, The IRR (in %) for Project A is 31%.
