Suppose you have taken a promissory note for $3,500 payable in 12 months with interest at 10 percent as payment for some carpentry work you did for a friend. You have some reason to believe the maker of the note is in financial difficulty and may not be able to pay the note when it is due. You discuss with an elderly neighbor the possibility of her buying the note from you as an investment, and she agrees to buy it from you for $3,000. Would it be ethical for you to indorse the note with a qualified indorsement ("without recourse")?arrow_forwardThree friends go to a restaurant. David, a self-employed entrepreneur, says, “I’ll pay and deduct it as a business expense.” Denise, a salesperson, takes the check and says, “I’ll put this on my company’s credit card. It won’t cost us anything.” Derek, a factory manager, says, “I’ll use my company’s credit card and call it overhead on a cost-plus contract with a client.” (A cost-plus contract means the company receives its costs plus a percent of those costs.) “That way, my company pays for dinner and makes a profit.” Who should pay?arrow_forward

- Justin Granovsky, an assistant manager at a small retail shop in Morgantown, West Virginia, has an unusual amount of debt. He owes $5,400 to one bank, $1,800 to a clothing store, $2,700 to his credit union, and several hundred dollars to other stores and individuals. Justin is paying more than $460 per month on the three major obligations to pay them off when due in two years. He realized that his take-home pay of slightly more than $3,100 per month did not leave him with much excess cash. Justin discussed a different way of handling his major payments with his bank’s loan of-ficer. The officer suggested that Justin pool all of his debts and take out an $11,000 debt-consolidation loan for seven years at 14 percent interest. As a result, he would pay only $250 per month for all his debts. Justin seemed ecstatic over the idea. (a) Is Justin’s enthusiasm over the idea of a debt-consolidation loan justified? Why or why not? (b) Why can the bank offer such a “good deal” to Justin?…arrow_forwardMuriel Evan write the following note on the back of an envelope: "I, Murierl Evans, promis to pay Karen Marvins or bearer $100 on demand.

He accepts paintings and sculpture on consignment and then receives 20 percent of the price of each piece as his fee. Space is limited, and there are costs involved, so Alexander is careful about accepting artists. When he does accept one, he arranges for an opening show (usually for three hours on a weekend night) and sends out invitations to his customer list. At the opening, he serves soft drinks and casual munchies to create a comfortable environment for prospective customers to view the new works and chat with the artist. On average, each opening costs P500. Alexander has given as many as 20 opening shows in a year. The total cost of running the gallery, including rent, furniture and fixtures, utilities, and a part-time assistant, amounts to P80,000 per year. REQUIRED: 1.
