Presidential Profits. Linda was president of a publicly traded tractor company, Tough Tractors. Linda became aware that stock in her company would likely increase significantly in value because her company had a contract to purchase the assets of Rough Tractors. The boards of both companies wanted the information kept confidential until the purchase was complete and a news release was made. Before the news was made public, Linda immediately purchased a significant number of shares in Tough Tractors. Linda also told her friend Frank about the contract to purchase assets. Frank, who knew that the information was not public, told his brother, George. Frank and George purchased a number of shares of stock in Tough Tractors prior to any public announcement of the sale. After the public announcement was made and the purchase of assets went through, Linda, George and Frank, all sold their shares in Tough Tractors and made a significant profit. Which of the following describes Frank in providing information about the asset sale to George?
A. Tipper.
B. Third-party beneficiary.
C. Informant.
D. Leaker.
E. Enabler.

Answer: Tipper

In this case, Frank is a tipper since he passed the information to George whom is the tippee in order to gain profit. Therefore, the correct option is A.

Hot Dress. Doreen writes a check for a dress to Hot Dresses, Inc., a small specialty shop owned primarily by Betty. Betty was getting ready to go on an extended European vacation and temporarily closed the shop the day after the dress sale to Doreen. When Betty returned, she had a number of other things to do and did not take Doreen's check and some other checks to the bank for three months. Betty was independently wealthy and only ran the shop as a hobby, so she had not been in need of funds. When Betty finally took Doreen's check to the bank, Betty requested that her bank, ABC Bank, deposit the check into her account. When ABC Bank, however, requested payment from Doreen's bank, XYZ Bank, the check was dishonored because of insufficient funds in Doreen's account. Although Betty did not particularly need the funds, she did not like to feel as if she had been cheated; therefore, she demanded that Doreen make the check good. Which of the following parties is the holder of the check?
a. Doreen's bank
b. Hot Dresses, Inc.
c. Betty, because she owns Hot Dresses, Inc.
d. Bety's bank

The town of Draper, with a population of 20,000, sits adjacent to State University, which has an enrollment of 27,000 students. Downtown Draper merchants have long complained about the lack of parking available to their customers. This is one primary reason for the steady migration of downtown businesses to a mall several miles outside town. The local chamber of commerce has finally convinced the town council to consider the construction of a new multilevel indoor parking facility downtown. Kelly Mattingly, the town’s public works director, has developed plans for a facility that would cost $4.5 million to construct. To pay for the project, the town would sell municipal bonds with a duration of 30 years at 8% interest. Kelly also estimates that five employees would be required to operate the lot on a daily basis, at a total annual cost of $140,000. It is estimated that each car that enters the lot would park for an average of 2.5 hours and pay an average fee of $3.20. Further, it is estimated that each car that parks in the lot would (on average) cost the town $0.60 in annual maintenance for cleaning and repairs to the facility. Most of the downtown businesses (which include a number of restaurants) are open 7 days per week.

Required:
a. Using break-even analysis, determine the number of cars that would have to park in the lot on an annual basis to pay off the project in the 30-year time frame.
b. From the results in (A), determine the approximate number of cars that would have to park in the lot on a daily basis. Does this seem to be a reasonable number to achieve, given the size of the town and college population?
