- A debtor has filed a plan to reorganize his affairs under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. The plan calls for payment of 10 cents on the dollar to all unsecured creditors over the next three years. The only secured creditor is Last Bank and Trust, whose lien is secured by the debtor’s personal residence. The plan calls for curing the present payments in arrears over one year andreducing the scheduled payments by 50 percent for three years. Will the court approve the debtor’s plan?

- Contingent Liabilities Several months ago, Ayers Industries Inc. experienced a hazardous materials spill at one of its plants. As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fined the company $530,000. The company is contesting the fine. In addition, an employee is seeking $650,000 in damages related to the spill. Lastly, a homeowner has sued the company for $330,000. The homeowner lives 30 miles from the plant, but believes that the incident has reduced the home's resale value by $330,000. Ayers’ legal counsel believes that it is probable that the EPA fine will stand. In addition, counsel indicates that an out-of-court settlement of $280,000 has recently been reached with the employee. The final papers will be signed next week. Counsel believes that the homeowner's case is much weaker and will be decided in favor of Ayers.

The court, after trying unsuccessfully to reorganize the firm, decided that the only recourse was liquidation under Chapter 7.

Approximately 30% of your client's total sales have been made to Donaldson Decorators during each of the past several years. The amount due from Donaldson Decorators--none of which is collectible--equals 22% of the total accounts receivable, an amount that is considerably in excess of what was determined to be an adequate provision for doubtful accounts at the close of the previous year.

- The Penn Central Railroad has not paid local taxes since 1969, under federal bankruptcy court protection. Some years later the court required Penn Central to offer municipalities a choice of two payment options to clear this liability. (Penn Central had been absorbed by Conrail, so there were no future tax liabilities involved.) The choices were (a) immediate payment of 44 percent of the total liability or (b) immediate payment of 20 percent of the liability, 10 percent paid at the end of each of the next three years, and 50 percent paid at the end of ten years. Which alternative would you recommend to a municipality and whyarrow_forwardOn January 1, 20x1, DEF Company purchased a machine for ₱300,000 in exchange for a note. The prevailing note of interest of type is 9%. The new machine was damaged during its installation and the repair cost amounted to ₱30,000. Assume that the machine has no available cash price and that the note is a noninterest bearing requiring four equal annual payments of ₱75,000. The first payment was made on December 31, 20x1, and the others are due annually on December 31. Required: Determine the cost of the machine.

The note was endorsed in blank and transferred several times "without recourse" before Brock fell behind on the payments. On behalf of Deutsche Bank National Trust Co., BAC Home Loans Servicing LP initiated foreclosure. Brock filed an action in a Maryland state court to block it, arguing that BAC could not foreclose because Deutsche Bank, not BAC, owned the note. Can BAC enforce the note? Explain why or why not.arrow_forward
