1. The answer is (b) Pealy
The Joan has entered into the contract with Pealy without knowing the fact that she is acting upon instructions of Samuel. Since the John is not known about this and he has entered in contract with Pealy only, any breach of contract made by Pealy is actionable from the Joan's point of view, because the contract is entered with Pealy and not the Samuel.
2. The answer is (b) Treasury.
The stock which can be sold for any price which is fixed by the board of directors without considering any part value on such stock are to be called and treated as Treasury.

This results into decrease in the total number of outstanding shares in the open market. Therefore, these are treated as Authorized and Unissued stock.

An organization which is neither a de jure nor a de facto
corporation and has attempted to exercise its corporate powers is
eligible to be treated as corporation if the other party
demonstrates fair and equitable conduct and Injustice is avoidable
only when the business is treated as a corporation.
