Under the Revised Model Business Corporation Act, a dissenting stockholder's appraisal right generally applies to which of the following corporate actions?

  1. Option A
  2. Option B
  3. Option C
  4. Option D

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Choice "a" is correct. "Yes-Yes."
Rule: Shareholders who are dissatisfied with the terms of a merger, consolidation or sale of assets are permitted to compel the corporation to buy their shares at fair market value. This is known as the right of appraisal or the dissenting right.
Rule: A short-form merger is when a parent mergers a 90% or more owned subsidiary into the parent. In this case, only the shareholders of the subsidiary have dissenting rights. Choices "b", "c", and "d" are incorrect, per the above rules.



For what purpose will a stockholder of a publicly held corporation be permitted to file a stockholders' derivative suit in the name of the corporation?

  1. To compel payment of a properly declared dividend.
  2. To enforce a right to inspect corporate records.
  3. To compel dissolution of the corporation.
  4. To recover damages from corporate management for an ultra vires management act.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Choice "d" is correct. A derivative action is an action by a stockholder in the name of the corporation to recover damages or to seek some other remedy on behalf of the corporation when the corporation does not enforce its own rights. Such actions are often brought when the directors or officers have breached their duty to the corporation and have refused to sue themselves. An ultra vires act is an act outside of a director's or an officer's scope of authority and thus is a breach of duty to the corporation.
Choices "a", "b", and "c" are incorrect, because these would all be causes of action against the corporate directors or officers on behalf of the stockholder to recover damages or seek some other remedy against the corporate directors or officers on behalf of the stockholder, not on behalf of the corporation.



Under the Revised Model Business Corporation Act, when a corporation's bylaws grant stockholders preemptive rights, which of the following rights is(are) included in that grant?

  1. Option A
  2. Option B
  3. Option C
  4. Option D

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Rule: Preemptive rights provide a shareholder with a right of first refusal to buy a share of newly issued shares sufficient to maintain the shareholder's proportionate share of rights in any newly issued shares.
Rule: Preemptive rights do not provide a shareholder with the right to a proportionate share of corporate assets on dissolution.
Choice "c" is correct. "No - Yes."
Choices "a", "b", and "d" are incorrect, per the above rules.



Which of the following actions may be taken by a corporation's board of directors without stockholder approval?

  1. Purchasing substantially all of the assets of another corporation.
  2. Selling substantially all of the corporation's assets.
  3. Dissolving the corporation.
  4. Amending the articles of incorporation.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Choice "a" is correct. Purchasing substantially all the assets of another corporation does not require approval of the buyer's stockholders. Such a transaction would be relatively insignificant if a large corporation purchased substantially all the assets of a much smaller corporation. Choice "b" is incorrect. Selling substantially all of the corporation's assets is considered to be a fundamental change to the corporation's structure that requires approval by a majority of the shareholders following the board of directors' approval. Choice "c" is incorrect. Dissolving the corporation is considered to be a fundamental change to the corporation's structure that requires approval by a majority of the shareholders following the board of directors' approval.
Choice "d" is incorrect. Amending the articles of incorporation is considered to be a fundamental change to the corporation's structure that requires approval by a majority of the shareholders following the board of directors' approval.



To which of the following rights is a stockholder of a public corporation entitled?

  1. The right to have annual dividends declared and paid.
  2. The right to vote for the election of officers.
  3. The right to a reasonable inspection of corporate records.
  4. The right to have the corporation issue a new class of stock.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Choice "c" is correct. Stockholders have a right to inspect certain corporate records. Choice "a" is incorrect. Declaration of dividends is within the directors' discretion. There is no absolute right of shareholders to receive annual dividends. Choice "b" is incorrect. Officers are appointed by the directors; they are not elected by the shareholders.
Choice "d" is incorrect. Shareholders do not have a right to force the corporation to issue a new class of stock.



A parent corporation owned more than 90% of each class of the outstanding stock issued by a subsidiary corporation and decided to merge that subsidiary into itself. Under the Revised Model Business Corporation Act, which of the following actions must be taken?

  1. The subsidiary corporation's board of directors must pass a merger resolution.
  2. The subsidiary corporation's dissenting stockholders must be given an appraisal remedy.
  3. The parent corporation's stockholders must approve the merger.
  4. The parent corporation's dissenting stockholders must be given an appraisal remedy.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Choice "b" is correct. In a short form merger (one between a parent and a subsidiary 90% of which is owned by the parent), the subsidiary's shareholders have a right to dissent and take advantage of the appraisal remedy.
Choice "a" is incorrect. The subsidiary's board is not required to take any action in a short-form merger.
Choice "c" is incorrect. The parent corporation's shareholders have no right to approve or disapprove a short-form merger.
Choice "d" is incorrect. The parent corporation's shareholders have no right to dissent to a short- form merger.



Davis, a director of Active Corp., is entitled to:

  1. Serve on the board of a competing business.
  2. Take sole advantage of a business opportunity that would benefit Active.
  3. Rely on information provided by a corporate officer.
  4. Unilaterally grant a corporate loan to one of Active's shareholders.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Choice "c" is correct. As a director of the corporation Davis may rely on information provided to him/her by a corporate officer. A corporate director is under no obligation to verify information given to him by management (corporate officers).
Choice "a" is incorrect. A director is not entitled to serve on the board of a competing business.
Doing so would be a breach of fiduciary duty.
Choice "b" is incorrect. A director may not take sole advantage of a business opportunity that would benefit the corporation. Doing so would be a breach of fiduciary duty. Choice "d" is incorrect. A director may not unilaterally grant a corporate loan to one of the corporation's shareholders. Directors generally must act through a majority vote at a directors' meeting.



Knox, president of Quick Corp., contracted with Tine Office Supplies, InC. to supply Quick's stationery on customary terms and at a cost less than that charged by any other supplier. Knox later informed Quick's board of directors that Knox was a majority stockholder in Tine. Quick's contract with Tine is:

  1. Void because of Knox's self-dealing.
  2. Void because the disclosure was made after execution of the contract.
  3. Valid because of Knox's full disclosure.
  4. Valid because the contract is fair to Quick.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Choice "d" is correct. If a corporation enters into a contract and a director has a conflict of interest in the transaction, the contract is voidable unless the director makes full disclosure of all of the facts to the disinterested directors or the shareholders, who then approve the transaction, or the director can prove that the transaction was fair to the corporation. The stationery purchase was fair to Quick, since it was purchased at a below-market price. Thus, the contract is valid. Choice "a" is incorrect. A director's self-dealing does not automatically make a contract voiD. The contract can be upheld if it was fair.
Choice "b" is incorrect. A director's self-dealing does not automatically make a contract voiD. The contract can be upheld if it was fair.
Choice "c" is incorrect. If a corporation enters into a contract and a director has a conflict of interest in the transaction, the contract is voidable unless the director makes full disclosure of all of the facts to the disinterested directors or shareholders, who then approve the transaction, or the director can prove that the transaction was fair. Mere disclosure after the contract was adopted does not automatically render the contract valid.

the correct answer to q8 is b. explanation since the mule app has a dependency, it is necessary to include project modules and dependencies to make sure the app will run successfully on the runtime on any other machine. source code of the component that the mule app is dependent of does not need to be included in the exported jar file, because the source code is not being used while executing an app. compiled code is being used instead.
