• Suppose you invest $100,000 in a mutual fund for 10 years. The fund earns 6% pretax per year, makes no annual distributions (and thus there is no income to be taxed each year) and you sell the fund at the end of the 10 years. You pay a 20% tax on capital gains and a 40% tax on ordinary income. What is the pre-tax total dollar accumulation at the end of 10 years? What is the after-tax total dollar accumulation at the end of 10 years? Suppose instead you invest the $100,000 in preferred stock paying 6% per annum with the dividend taxed at 20% per year (as dividends receive their own tax preferred rate). Assume the after-tax dividends are reinvested in the preferred stock. What is the after-tax total dollar accumulation at the end of 10 years? What do you conclude from comparing the above alternatives?
• Brenda is a purchasing agent for Commodities Exchange Corporation. Dennis, a corporate officer of Commodities, grants Brenda written authorization to acquire as many computers and peripheral devices as the company requires. The following day, Dennis instructs Brenda to purchase only fifty notebook computers and no additional items. Despite this, Brenda presents her written authority to E-Products, Inc., and agrees to purchase sixty notebook computers along with an assortment of printers, scanners, and extra storage media. E-Products fulfills the order and sends it to Commodities. Is Commodities liable to E-Products under the contract? It depends on several factors, including the authority Brenda had at the time of the contract, how the authority was communicated to E-Products, and whether E-Products was acting in good faith based on Brenda's representations. As Brenda entered into a contract for more items than Dennis had authorized and for a quantity exceeding the limitation he imposed, Commodities may not be liable for the entire order unless Brenda’s initial written authority led E-Products to reasonably believe she still retained the power to contract on behalf of Commodities. If the initial written authorization appeared to give Brenda broad powers and E-Products was unaware of the limitation imposed by Dennis, Commodities might be held liable based on the concept of apparent authority. However, if E-Products was—or should have been—aware of Brenda’s limited authority, Commodities might not be held liable for the contract that exceeded her actual authority. As for Brenda's liability, if she knowingly exceeded her authority, she may be personally liable to either Commodities or E-Products for any resulting damages. Agents who act beyond their authority can become liable for breaching their fiduciary duty to their principal if they cause harm by exceeding that authority. However, Brenda’s liability would also depend on the specifics of how the authority was communicated and restricted, as well as on what E-Products knew or should have known about such restrictions.
