Business & Finance - 13 November 2006

My husband and I made an offer on a foreclosure property. After submitting our offer the realtor told us we had been out-bid by a small amount. He discouraged us from continuing to bid. 6 months later we have come to find out that the realtor/ listing agency bought the property. This is the same exact realtor that submitted our offer and advised us to give up. They used our bid to make their look good. They are also the agency that initially set the price on the home. Is this legal? Would it be worthwhile to contact the owner of the home (a lending agency)?

...... ..have a serious knock on effect. The reason i ask is that i don't go football anymore, don't use public transport, don't buy Mcdonalds, don't go to coffee houses. Half the things that are advertised, like cars, are wasting my time. If people don't use a lot of things that are too expensive what happens next?

My husband "John", my brother in law, "Tim" I work within his parents business. We have some very serious issues with it however. "John" and "Tim" are on salary pay. "Tim" always shows up late by at least an hour and leaves whenever he feels like it while at the same time "John" is always at least an hour early to get things prepared for the day. They make the same pay while "Tim" is always goofing off. I think this is very unfair and have brought it up many times with his parents. Nothing ever happens or is said about it. As soon as "John" makes a mistake he's corrected within seconds. "John" knows all of the aspects of his job, while "Tim" barely knows his job. After many stressful days, I've found that my husband "John" and I are fighting on a regular basis, and he has started drinking more. Today is one of those days because my mother-in-law "Helga" has messed up my pay once again. I have talked with her already and she refuses to pay me for all of the hours I worked.

I have a owner financing contract for my single-wide mobile home. The title is still under my name until he pays the total amount. The buyer was doing great but the last 3 months he has been making late payments and last month his check bounced. I gave him notice that I will only accept money order or cash from now on. If he keeps making late payments can I do an eviction or do I have to go through the whole foreclosure process??

What is your favorite memory of quiting a job? How did you go out? Where you justified? Did you enjoy it? Any regrets?

A public limited company was recently formed to manufacture a new product. It has the following capital structure in the market value terms:
DebenturesRs. 7,000,000
Preferred stock 1,000,000
Common stock (320,000 shares) 8,000,000
---------------------
Total capital Rs.16,000,000

The company has a marginal tax rate of 40%. A study of publicly held companies in this line of business suggests that the required return on equity is about 17%. The company’s debt is currently yielding 13%, and its preferred stock is yielding 15%.

Compute the firm’s present weighted average cost of capital.

On my quest to find a job, I've been applying to job ads from smaller sites (like craigslist) to the bigger ones like monster.com, careerbuilder.com. I'm starting to think I'm wasting my time by applying to jobs on these larger sites like monster (I'm an entry-level candidate, May 2006 grad). Now, Monster allows you to see your status. For the last month, for each resume and cover letter I sent these employers, my resume/cv letter was only viewed ONE time (the rest were just 'received'). It's annoying to me that I spend my time customizing every cover letter, but they don't even read it. Should I just focus on the smaller sites and company-specific postings (I mean, on the company websites). I'm starting to feel like I'm wasting my time on these large websites.

I'm job hunting and was wondering what fellow unemployed people do to entertain themselves during weekdays.. I'm limiting it to free activities, because frankly I can't afford to really go out and hang with buddies; good old credit card bills are still being sent my way, etc.. I look forward to reading your suggestions..
