Wonderful Brick Company Case Study

Decent Essays
This contract is informal because no special form is needed; express, because the terms were listed in the contract; and bilateral, because Stark State is promising to pay ABC for the construction of a building. Wonderful Brick Company is an incidental beneficiary because they are benefiting from the contract between Stark State and ABC. Mason Contractors is a delegatee because ABC contractors are delegating to them the duty of laying the brick for the building. When ABC notified Stark State that they could not finish the building on time they are giving notice by anticipatory repudiation. Stark State then had the right to find someone else to finish the work on time. They can then sue ABC for compensatory damages to cover the added cost

    Conclusions and Recommendations: Pacific Grove Spice Company is currently unable to comply with the bank's requirements with their current financial performance. However, Pacific should choose a few options to meet these requirements: first, they should acquire High Country Seasonings for $13.2 million since this is well below the $18 million book value of their equity, and the total value of the company would increase from the financial statements' consolidation. In addition, Pacific should issue 400,000 new shares of common stock to the investment group to have money for funding the cooking television show. By financing the production and sponsorship of the show, Pacific will be able to meet the bank's regulations and reduce its total debt to less than 55% of its total assets and also reduce the equity multiplier to 2.5.…
