Carol Mann and Gerald Harris worked for Helmsley-Spear, Inc. (HSI), as managers for various HSI properties. In 2005 each receive

d a bo­nus of $50,000 for their work in converting an HSI apartment complex, known as Windsor Park, into a condominium complex. The conversion started in 2002 and took three years. The bonus was paid pursuant to an oral contract made in December of 2001 that promised a bonus (above their salary) when the project was completed. HIS was very happy with their work and indicated that other projects are planned. In 2006 Mann and Harris were asked by HIS to work on another conversion of an apartment building known as Park West. For this project Mann and Harris were again orally promised a bonus (above their salary) using the formula similar to the Windsor Park conversion. It was understood that this project would also require two or three years to complete. In 2009, after successfully converting Park West, Mann and Harris were fired. HSI refused to pay them the bonus. Mann and Harris sued. Among other things, HSI contended that their oral agreement concerning the extra com­pensation was unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds.

Answer:

True - Contracts that require more than one year to complete must be documented in writing

Explanation:

The relevant detail from the scenario for the question is that ''In 2006, Mann and Harris were requested by HIS to undertake another conversion of an apartment building referred to as Park West. For this task, Mann and Harris were once again orally promised a bonus (in addition to their salary) using a similar formula to that of the Windsor Park conversion. It was anticipated that this venture would also take two or three years to conclude.''

According to the statute of frauds, contracts anticipated to last over a year need to be written to have legal standing.

When Mann and Harris were asked to manage the construction of an apartment that would last two to three years, they should have insisted on a written agreement.

HIS took undue advantage of their knowledge of the law and denied them the promised bonus; pursuant to the statute of frauds, they are not legally liable.

marusya05 [3433]

Answer:

Explanation:

Current liabilities refer to obligations due within one year or less.

The classification is as follows:

a. A note payable for $100,000 due in 2 years. = Not classified as a current liability, as it is due in 2 years and classified as long-term liability.

b. A 10-year mortgage of $300,000 to be paid in ten annual payments of $30,000. = Only the first payment is a current liability; the rest are long-term liabilities.

c. An interest payment of $15,000 on the mortgage. = This is a current liability since it is due within one year.

d. Accounts payable of $60,000. = This is also a current liability because it is due within one year.

Current liabilities are recorded on the liability side of the balance sheet.

Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its ex
Mariulka [3472]

Answer:

NPV = negative 37,599

Explanation:

To determine the NPV of the new sewing machine, we subtract the investment from the present value of anticipated cash inflows.

Initial investment = Cost of machine + Training expenses - Salvage value

Initial investment = 2,450,000 + 85,000 - 250,000

Initial investment = 2,285,000

Year                                      DF(9%)   Present Value

1  Cash inflow     390,000  x 0.917      $357,798

2 Cash inflow     400,000  x 0.842    $336,672

3 Cash inflow     411,000   x  0.772     $317,367

4 Cash inflow     426,000  x 0.708     $301,789

5 Cash inflow     334,100  x 0.650     $217,077       (434,100 - 100,000)

6 Cash inflow     435,000  x 0.596    $259,376

7 Cash inflow     436,000 x 0.547     $238,507

7 Salvage value 400,000 x 0.547     $218,814  

     

Present Value of cash inflow             $2,247,401

Initial investment                                $2,285,000

NPV ($2,247,401 - $2,285,000)          (37,599)    

Conclusion: Hillsong should refrain from acquiring the new machine since the NPV is negative.

Why is using cash unhelpful when a person wants to apply for a loan in the near future?
stepan [3267]
Using cash is counterproductive and disadvantageous because relying solely on it leads to a lack of credit history, making it difficult for banks to assess your reliability for loan repayment.
