A friend filed bankruptcy 5 years ago but reaffirmed on her car. The transmission fell out last summer. Is there a way to get out of paying for it since it is worth way less than she owes on it.

I had planned on getting braces this year so I opened an FSA through my employer and contributed what I had estimated the costs would be. Ultimately, I didn't get the braces nor did I accrue enough medical expenses to get back the full amount I contributed. Now I have nearly $1,000 in my account that I am going to lose. (Yes, I was aware of the use-it-or-lose-it clause when I signed up.) Does anyone know where the $ goes? My employer? The company which manages the account? The government? Is there no way to get at least some of the money back? Of course, I'd be willing to pay taxes and a reasonable "administrative" fee but I think it's so unfair that I can't get a refund.

When I signed my lease, I was informed I would be gettting $100 off my rent for six months. Im just starting my first job, and with that stress, I didn't realize when my six months were up. I got a call saying that it went up in November and they were demanding that I pay them $200 immediately. I simply cannot afford this right now. Do I even have to pay it? They never notified me of the increase, it is not in writing in my lease. Im putting a stop payment on the check until I get legal advice and talk to the manager.

I'm moving into a new apartment and me and the other person are deciding on who gets what bedroom. Both are pretty equal in size. One is just longer and narrow and the other is more square shaped. My roommate would like the square bedroom because she thinks it's larger and she is the one who found the apartment. I didn't mind until I realized the other bedroom is actually smaller than my current bedroom and it would require me possibly having to get rid of two pieces of furniture in my bedroom. We spoke about it today and she said she didn't want me to have to do that, but she still hung on to the fact that she'd like the "larger" bedroom. Bottom line is I have larger furniture that might not fit in the long and narrow bedroom. If I take the square bedroom I can keep everything which I'd like to do for storage purposes. Is she right that since she found the apartment, she should get which bedroom she likes? If not, how can I politely say that I need the square bedroom?

Last year Rattner Robotics had $5 million in operating income (EBIT). The company had net depreciation expense of $1 million and interest expense of $1 million; its corporate tax rate was 40 percent. The company has $14 million in current assets and $4 million in non-interest-bearing current liabilities; it has $15 million in net plant and equipment. It estimates that
it has an after-tax cost of capital of 10 percent. Assume that Rattner’s only noncash item was depreciation.
1. What was the company’s net income for the year?

2. What was the company’s net cash flow?

3. What was the company’s net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT)?

4. What was the company’s operating cash flow?

5. If operating capital in the previous year was $24 million what was the company’s free cash
flow (FCF) for the year?

6. What was the company’s Economic Value Added (EVA)?

Due to domestic violence in my home, I left my marriage. I drew up a proposal to my (soon-to-be) ex regarding our MASSIVE debt which left me with one medical bill of $17,000 (not including interest) and two credit cards of over $6000. I also left with only what I could fit in my car and left all our furniture and assets to him. I don't work full-time, though I'm going to try to soon and I just CANNOT pay these debts. I have no problem with the idea of bankruptcy for myself...however, NOTHING is in my name except our Bank of America overdraft protection credit card and he works for a financial industry and told me that if he has a bankruptcy that he'll loose his securities license and then his job. It's not my goal to be malicious and cause that - but I can't pay these bills. Will it be better for me to wait until the divorce is final and then file bankruptcy on whatever debts the judge gives me? Any advice? I don't know what to do.
