Pitino acquired 80 percent of Brey's outstanding shares on January 1, 2019, in exchange for $369,000 in cash. The subsidiary's stockholders' equity accounts totaled $353,000, and the noncontrolling interest had a fair value of $92,250 on that day. However, a building (with a ten-year remaining life) in Brey's accounting records was undervalued by $19,000. Pitino assigned the rest of the excess fair value over book value to Brey's patented technology (five-year remaining life).

Brey reported net income from its own operations of $67,000 in 2019 and $83,000 in 2020. Brey declared dividends of $18,000 in 2019 and $22,000 in 2020.

I ONLY NEED QUESTIONS 7,8, AND 9

Your former director of business development contracted John Smith, an American consultant, to manage the development and marketing of one of the newer projects of the company.This project appeared very promising but is in fact bringing much lower revenues than originally anticipated. Mr. Smith just presented his expenses for his first class airfare tickets, five star hotel rooms and gourmet restaurant bills (with expensive French wines) of the last three months. Such expenses are a serious concern to your director of finances who finds them out of line. Your financial reports for the second half of this year would be improved if you negotiated an eight-month earlier termination of his 20-months consulting contract. That would help you wind down this project quicker. However, there is no good cause to base Mr. Smith’s termination on the lack of his contractual performance. In fact, some within your organization appreciate Mr. Smith’s work and believe he might turn things around, given additional time and manpower. You also have a suspicion about a potential conflict of interest. Indirectly, through an employee of HR, you have been told that Mr.Smith was seen in a night club entertaining Ms. Hodge, a project manager of your main competitor. Mr. Toba, a member of the Board of your company has been suggesting to your President that he might be more sympathetic to the under-performance of this project if you managed to contract his nephew George,a fresh MBA graduate from Northwest University, instead of John Smith. To review the contractual arrangements with Mr. Smith, you asked your contract department earlier today for a copy of his consulting contract. Unfortunately, they have been unable to locate their signed copy at this time.

Considerations for your Blackboard debate of this case:

1) How would you approach your consultant about various issues?

•Directly or indirectly

•Discussing all or just some issue; Why?

2) Would you try to work out issues with the consultant or terminate his contract?

3) Explain how such case would be handled if contracting company was residing in a certain country that you are familiar with.
