1 answer:

8 0

<span> <span>In investment, the term risk can be defined as the possibility of the investor losing all or part of their capital in a given venture. High quality bonds are considered lower risk because the the investor is promised to receive face value after a certain period unlike stocks that do not carry the same promise. Returns on high quality bonds are also guaranteed in the form of fixed interest rates whereas in stocks, a company may pay dividends but this is not an obligation on their part. Lastly bonds are safer investment as they are less susceptible to abnormal price changes unlike stocks whose prices can easily swing in either direction.</span></span>

C. No, according to the at-will termination provision in her contract.

D. No, because subsequent conduct of the parties modified the contract.

Answer:

Fountain Valley, Inc. and Alice

B. Yes, according to the duty of good faith and fair dealing.

Explanation:

Alice is entitled to the bonus of $10,000 because the duty of good faith and fair dealing requires Fountain Valley not to deny Alice the benefits arising from their valid contract. Since Alice's employment contract included a 5% bonus of all sales in excess of the previous 12 months' sales, the Fountain Valley, Inc. should not deny Alice's claim to the benefits.

b) Employment contract terms = $78,000/year plus 5% bonus of all sale in excess of the previous 12 months' sales. The value of sales in 2017 is $200,000 more than in 2016. 5% of $200,000 = $10,000. Therefore, Alice is entitled to the bonus.

= Return of project which is not chosen - the return of a chosen project

= $750,000 - $1,000,000

= - $250,000

Since in the question, it is given that the chosen project is X so we write the project X amount in the formula and the not chosen project of-course is Y.

Hence, the opportunity cost of that decision is - $250,000
