Answer:
The business judgement rule states that if the board takes decision in good faith and in best interest of the corporation considering the information available then its decision is not to be questioned by the courts. The courts can intervene only if there is any breach of good faith, due care or loyalty.
The above case is similar in facts with another case paramount vs time. In that case Time decided to merge with another company named Warner. Paramount also started bidding for Time but the directors of Time rejected their bid offer citing that warner merger would be more suitable for the company strategy.
Paramount then brought the case against Time in court.The court stated that the instant case was different from another case (REVLON VS MacAndrews) where Revlon was up for sale and hence it was necessary for the board to sell its assets to the highest bidder.
Answer:
The capitalized cost is $ 84,667.20
Explanation:
First of all please note that the cost of $ 75,000 is already the present cost.
The cost of $3200 which occurs every 3 years can be converted into a value using factor A/F for one life cycle.
The capitalized cost then can be calculated as follows
:
CC = $ 75,000 + $ 3200(A/F, 10%, 3 years)/interest
CC = $ 75,000 + $ 3,200(0.3021)/0.1
CC = $ 75,000 + $ 9,667.2
CC = $ 84,667.20
Answer:
The annual rate of return of the invesment will be -14,97%
Explanation:
The initial investment is 45.000 and after 5 years the value of the investment is only 20.000. Here we can see a destruction of value (20.000 < 45.000). In finance, the time takes an essential part in calculation, so through the interest rate we calculated how bad was the investment in annual terms. The formula is as follows: Final investment value=(Initial investment*(1+interest rate)^(total years)) in our case would be: 20.000=(45.000*(1+interest rate)^(5)) From this formula we got -14,97%
