In: Accounting
Georgia, an individual, owns all of the stock of Malific
Xenophobe Oil Distributing Corporation, which not only has not
shown a profit, but has consistently lost money in every year since
Georgia acquired the stock. Georgia also conducted an oil and gas
equipment leasing business as a sole proprietor. Georgia’s largest
drilling rig normally leases for $1,000 a day. Recently Malific
Xenophobe used Georgia’s drilling rig for 60 days, and because
Malific Xenophobe’s reserves and credit were insufficient to permit
it both to pay its workers and pay Georgia $60,000, Georgia rented
the drilling rig to Malific Xenophobe for the 60 days for
$5,000.

Xenophobe?
