Paul Sabin organized Sabin Electronics 10 years ago to produce and sell several electronic devices on which he had secured patents. Although the company has been fairly profitable, it is now experiencing a severe cash shortage. For this reason, it is requesting a $620,000 long-term loan from Gulfport State Bank, $160,000 of which will be used to bolster the Cash account and $460,000 of which will be used to modernize equipment. The company’s financial statements for the two most recent years follow:

During the past year, the company introduced several new product lines and raised the selling prices on a number of old product lines in order to improve its profit margin. The company also hired a new sales manager, who has expanded sales into several new territories. Sales terms are 2/10, n/30. All sales are on account.

Expand Your Critical Thinking 24-02 a-d Ana Carillo and Associates is a medium-sized company located near a large metropolitan area in the Midwest. The company manufactures cabinets of mahogany, oak, and other fine woods for use in expensive homes, restaurants, and hotels. Although some of the work is custom, many of the cabinets are a standard size. One such non-custom model is called Luxury Base Frame. Normal production is 1,000 units. Each unit has a direct labor hour standard of 5 hours. Overhead is applied to production based on standard direct labor hours. During the most recent month, only 1,060 units were produced; 4,500 direct labor hours were allowed for standard production, but only 4,000 hours were used. Standard and actual overhead costs were as follows. Standard (1,000 units) Actual (1,060 units) Indirect materials $ 14,600 $ 15,000 Indirect labor 52,400 62,200 (Fixed) Manufacturing supervisors salaries 27,400 26,800 (Fixed) Manufacturing office employees salaries 15,800 15,200 (Fixed) Engineering costs 32,900 30,500 Computer costs 12,200 12,200 Electricity 3,000 3,000 (Fixed) Manufacturing building depreciation 9,700 9,700 (Fixed) Machinery depreciation 3,600 3,600 (Fixed) Trucks and forklift depreciation 1,800 1,800 Small tools 900 1,700 (Fixed) Insurance 600 600 (Fixed) Property taxes 400 400 Total $175,300 $182,700

Sixteen-year-old Michelle Portman was out driving at night near Sandusky, Ohio with her friend Katie Webster in the front passenger seat. They came to a railroad crossing with multiple tracks, where the mechanical arm had descended and warning bells were sounding. A Conrail train had suffered mechanical problems and was stopped 200 hundred feet from the crossing, where it had been stalled for close to an hour. Michelle and Katie saw several cars ahead of them go around the barrier and cross the tracks, despite the fact that Ohio’s vehicle and traffic laws prohibited this practice. Michelle had to decide whether she would do the same.
Long before Michelle made her decision, the train’s engineer (a Conrail employee) had seen the heavy Saturday night traffic crossing the tracks and realized the danger. The conductor and brakeman also understood the peril, but rather than posting a flagman who could have stopped traffic when a train approached, they walked to the far end of their train to repair the mechanical problem. A police officer had come upon the scene, told his dispatcher to notify the train’s parent company Conrail of the situation, and left.
Michelle made the decision to cross the tracks. She slowly followed the cars ahead of her. Seconds later, both girls were dead. A freight train traveling 60 miles per hour struck the vehicle broadside, killing Michelle and Katie instantly.
Michelle’s mother sued Conrail for negligence. The company argued that it was Michelle’s decision, one that violated Ohio traffic laws, which led to her death. Ohio is a comparative negligence state. Discuss both the plaintiff’s claim and Conrail’s defense. What verdict will result?
