D) The court must grant permission for Brayden to withdraw since the agreement was silent and the other partners and third-party customers of the partnership must be protected.
Answer:
A) Brayden may withdraw at any time, and the partnership continues.
Explanation:
A partnership is defined as a business venture where two or more people decide to pool their resources together in a business to achieve a particular objective.
Partnerships can be a complex relationship between participants where conflict may rise. To curtail this an agreement is usually written that states conditions for withdrawal, percentage of ownership, division of profit and loss, length of partnership, and partner authority.
In this scenario the partnership is silent on the duration of the partnership, so Brayden may withdraw at any time and the partnership will continue
A company purchased property for $100,000. The property included a building, a parking lot, and land. The building was appraised at $54,000; the land at $51,400, and the parking lot at $19,600. Land should be recorded in the accounting records with an allocated cost of: Multiple Choice $0. $51,400. $100,000. $47,120. $41,120.
Answer:
$41,120
Explanation:
Since we know that assets are recorded in accounting at their purchase price including related costs.
Therefore;
The total appraised value = $54,000 + $51,400 + $19,600
= $125,000
Since the appraisal value for the land is $51,400, then the land will be recorded as ;
= $51,400/$125,000 × $100,000
= $41,120

Jose owns a dog whose barking annoys Jose's neighbor Amy. Suppose that the net benefit of owning the dog is worth $400 to Jose and that Amy bears a cost of $200 from the barking. Assuming Amy has the legal right to keep Jose from having a dog, a possible private solution to this problem is that:
Answer: Jose has to pay $600.
Explanation:
Jose has to pay $600 to Jane for her inconvenience.
In Accordance with Coase theorem, when two conflicting parties exist, one has to ‘buy the right’ from the other party.
Which In this scenario or case, Jane has the ‘right to prevent Jose from having a dog’.
Thus, Jose has to pay compensation to Jane so that he can keep his dog and at the same time Jane is also compensated for the inconvenience which may arise later.
Answer:
that Jose pays Amy $350 for her inconvenience, and keeps the dog
Explanation:
In this specific scenario, since Amy has every legal right to keep Jose from having the dog, then a possible private solution would be that Jose pays Amy $350 for her inconvenience, and keeps the dog. This would cover Amy's costs from the barking as well as provide an incentive to let Jose keep the dog, while at the same time Jose is spending less than what the net benefit of owning the dog is actually worth. Thus turning this into a beneficial arrangement for all parties.
