question 88

Essay

a. What is a quorum of the board of directors for purpose of conducting corporate business? What does the Revised Act say with regard to a quorum? What is a supermajority requirement?
b. The directors of Bigkey, Inc. can't decide whether to declare a dividend, so the board appoints a committee consisting of the president of the corporation, the vice president of the corporation, and the treasurer to decide whether to pay a dividend. If the committee wants to declare a dividend, the directors say the officers can pay it immediately before the next board meeting. Is this a permissible delegation of corporate authority? Explain.
